re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

Thats why i cant hate on arteta or wish he leaves. Our whole game has been through him since signing, i mean the first 3 years he had a ridiculous amunt of passes compared to the rest of the team and even bpl. Teams know to pressure Arteta, therefore making it hard for us to start any attack when we rely on him too much to distribute the ball. In that other thread I also pointed out he was second on the team with 3.2 tackles a game. With all of artetas shortcomings, he is the reason why this team hasnt completely fallen apart over the last few years and have kept in the champions league. If we must get rid of these players, find a replacement first. Too many times we let guys walk and downgrade.
