you seen talk and encouragement Maitland-Niles got from few players and Arteta at the end?
Looks like they only practiced defense last few weeks, and they did a great job at it.
Arteta is pulling maximum from this players. Hope he will get some money for next season.
Martinez is really good every game as he got to replace Leno, only thing i don't like is, he can't hit anyone with a long ball, half of the time he can't even hit the field.
Niles had a great game, i always feel for him since he never gets to play in the mid though lol. It was a really solid defensive performance once again and those counters were ruthless, looks like Mikel has got his team to start to grasp his ideas. I hope they go all the way in the FA cup
you can definitely see the change in the attitude. and the tactics of let them go wide and cross was tense but worked great.
I was actually telling my friend that a day before the game if we want to win we must push them wide because theirs no height upfront but we also couldn’t afford any mistakes letting the low balls come across which luckily we didn’t
