Your comments are not wrong in the slightest, J just wonder if it's taking too much from a friendly.
The normal starting XI didn't start, so I feel this was a feeler game for the newbies more than a serious runout. Maybe I'm just hopeful...
It's definitely too early to judge, but it's not just this game, there's been nothing I've seen this preseason that made me think things have changed. It feels like Arteta's expecting us to evolve via the changes we've made to the squad as opposed to him telling the players to pass through the middle as an example. In the end Gyökeres started playing wide and then we lost him as a goal threat.
