A video showing new Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta talking to Alexandre Lacazette shows why he could be the man to save their season.
Arteta is seen talking to the French striker who asks if he can perform flicks in a passing drill.
The Spaniard immediately shuts him down and tells him the drill is about finding the right pass and positioning yourself to receive the ball.
It's a fascinating early look into how the 37-year-old will have his side playing.
He's spent the last few seasons as an assistant to Pep Guardiola so his attention to detail will be no shock.
Arsenal fans are delighted with the early promise shown by their new boss
It's not the first time Arteta has spoken to his players about performing needless tricks.
David Ornstein of The Athletic reported that Arteta was keen to highlight the issue in his first training session on Sunday.
The former Arsenal midfielder is quoted as telling his players:
"You don't do this during the match, so why are you doing it now?"
It's a level of authority we've not seen at the Emirates Stadium for some time.
You wonder if this could be the start of something great for the North London outfit.
Do you think Mikel Arteta will be successful as Arsenal boss?
