“In Arsenal’s dres♏sing room away at Tottenham Hotspur this weekend hung a banner emblazoned with the word “BASICS” in capital letters. Each letter represented a word written underneath: B for boxes, A for attack, S for shape, I for intensity, C forꦅ compete and S for set pieces. These are the fundamentals of Mikel Arteta’s side”.
Arsenal follow their manager’s lead
Within those six letters, two stand♚out agains🐻t Tottenham.
B for boxes, and S for set-pieces.
