I expected our midfield to be the weak point as 2/3 are new to the team. Xhaka/Martinelli/Zinchenko on the left and especially Xhaka/Party in the midfield had the perfect chemistry that every coach dreams of and replicating that won't be easy, nor quick. I think Rice and Havertz offer us more defensively, and I'm willing to give them the time they need to click offensively.

I'm not sure what people are upset about and I agree w Arteta 100%. If some random started questioning you about your field of expertise your answer would be "fuck off idiot, you don't know shit". Arteta has dragged us out from the pit of mediocrity and last year's second place finish should have earned him everyone's respect, trust and support.
