Willian wasn’t even that bad. Partey was by far the worst player on the pitch.
Willian would have worked better with Tierney at LB. Having two right footed players on the left was always gonna be hard given how we’re used to our full backs overlapping and whipping in crosses.
I think the main reason he picked Willian yesterday was to utilize him in set-pieces and he did a good job at them. Put some good balls in that caused a bit of havoc. Holding and Gabriel had some good openings to score out of them.
Hot garbage is unfair.
I think he did the job he was asked well. Arteta to blame for getting it all wrong with his tactics.
Against Benfica he made the difference in the second leg. He was also very good against Olympiacos in the first leg.
Saka and Auba made the difference in the Benfica 2nd leg from memory. Surely you aren’t talking about the basic pass to Tierney before the rocket finish?
Yeah Arteta’s fault for actively signing him and continuing to give him minutes, can’t argue with that
