Arsenal's best results under Mikel Arteta have come in a style markedly at odds with the philosophy the Spaniard outlined when taking charge last December.
"There are some things that have to have a blueprint," he said at the time. "We have to have passion, we have to be dominant, we have to be aggressive. We have to play in the opponent's territory as much as we want. I want the ball, I want to attack them as much as possible, I want to prevent them from attacking me as much as possible."
Four victories stand out from Arteta's first year in charge: a Premier League success over already crowned (but still record-chasing) champions Liverpool in July, back-to-back wins against Manchester City and Chelsea to claim the FA Cup before a first league triumph at Manchester United in 14 years.
