Arteta’s favouritism will be the biggest difference between Arsenal winning titles this season and not.
Arteta is clearly hell-bent on playing certain players regardless of their form and how fit they are, while certain other players wouldn’t get a sniff of a chance, no matter how good their form is.
The favoritism that stopped him from winning titles in the past seasons before last season is back again this season.
I really think Arsenal have missed Lewis-Skelly in midfield today.
Bruno Guimarães deserves his flowers for that huge goal last week, but MLS has brought so much energy and dynamism to this Arsenal midfield.
Arsenal have looked unstoppable with him in there, and sometimes form should make the decision for you.
For me, dropping MLS was a mistake.
