We need someone who is very comfortable on the ball. Someone like Arteta. This was very evident vs Villa. They pressed us hard and Mangala and Gueye do not have this ability. The most obvious case in world history is the Barcelona midfield with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, but it's valid on every level. The point being that the opposition knows they are so good that it is not any point trying to get the ball off them. They can get out of every situation. Just a little drop of a shoulder and they have turned away from you and opened up space. So even a team like Real Madrid in 2012 didn't even try to chase them.
With us everyone knows that as long as they pressure us we have not got the ability on the ball to avoid mistakes.
So it's easy! Get another 22 year-old "Arteta" from Spain, and let him slowly settle into the team
