    Depends on the midfield, someone like city it isn’t bad because they aren’t as physical or in your face.

    But against Liverpool I wouldn’t trust him, same with Chelsea away.

    If Newcastle play with tonali Bruno and long staff, it’s another away game I wouldn’t trust him in.

      He was the best player on the pitch at home to Newcastle last year where all they did was come there to kick us with a strong packed midfield and leave no space

      And we would’ve never been 2-0 up at Anfield without his calming presence on the ball in the early stages of the match

        I agree, but home and away are different stories and how the match is officiated.

        We get no calls away from home and little fouls teams get away with.

        Liverpool away we could see the tie turning long before it did, and that’s when Arteta needs to make the change.

        Obviously the coaching staff know more then us, I wouldn’t have started him or Vieria against Everton but we controlled and won that comfortably.

        I’m sure they was a game plan that just didn’t work due to various reasons.
