Gary neville on Mikel Arteta and the Defense

Gary Neville speaks on Arteta shape and the defense.

"Mike Arteta:- we should still say that the shape of arsenal which they are playing, the shape they have defensively I think is better than it was previously but the individual within always let them down that a fact of the matter".

"It doesn't matter how well you coach the shape, if you get exposed one on one or defenders make mistakes, as we saw in the game against Mancity and Brighton, then you are just going to get punished.

Arsenal didn't learn their lesson from that early scare in the second half against Man city. A few minutes later, Ederson produced another raking ball that found Kevin De Bruyne out on the right wing. The Belgian glanced it inside with his head to Mahrez, who drove past David Luiz into the box before being brought down for the penalty that effectively ended the match as a contest.

Nunez says the experienced boss has given him advice on aspects of his game that need improving. He told Sport 890 : "Bielsa showed me some things that seem positive to improve. I hope to meet him next week and do my best for the team." He added: "Some things he thinks are better. Like, when the opposing team is behind, not to run in front of the second centre-back: to run behind so that he...
