At least our lineup and performance yesterday will put to bed the theory that Arteta was starting Jorginho for our ball progression instead of defensive security. It just never made sense considering the fixtures Jorginho started which were out of choice rather than necessity due to injuries.

Also, Havertz was good yesterday but it's not because he was playing the role of a second phase midfielder. Rather it was Odegaard who did it - one of the few times he's played the role this season, with the other times being against PSV, Lens away, and Bournemouth to a lesser extent. Odegaard's touch maps in these fixtures were incredible, almost box-to-box like instead of being usually stuck next to Saka playing 1-2's.
