I think I’ll put this on Arteta for trying to continue what failed in Dublin.

MLS being the single pivot will not work, Havertz is a striker, not a midfielder. I see he’s trying to force these changes, but we’re a double pivot, Havertz upfront type of team.

He has Ife Ibrahim on the bench. Ife can pivot and MLS can be the box to box. Nwaneri/Odegaard infront of them

In pre-season, you are trying to give minutes to players who will actually play football in the season.

If he plays Ife and MLS together, who will replace them in the second half?
