It has been an interesting journey, hasn't it, under Mikel Arteta.
As Thierry makes the point, they were looking for a guy that was going to make that difference, to get them over the line.
They found someone who they knew well as a player, someone who'd been on Pep Guardiola's coaching staff at that moment, who they felt was equipped to come in and make a difference.
So that's the breakdown, Jamie.
What would be your observations here about this ride under Mikel Arteta?
And that's reflected in the goals they were scoring, Jamie.
You know, averaging over two a game in those two seasons of 22-23 and 23-24.
Was that when they were the best to watch, Thierry, would you say?
So after that, so it's 23, 24 onwards is what you're talking about.
And then follow that with Calafiori and Marino.
And okay, Raheem Sterling, that didn't work out so much.
And look how that's grown, that sort of reliance or the contribution from set-piece goals up to 34% of their goals this season as well.
And let me just show you this next graphic that we've got because...
Part of this story is the personnel behind the scenes.
And Nikola Jovovich appointed there, 21-22.
And you see the difference, that spike straight away, that ratio of goals from set pieces changes pretty much instantly.
The Premier League average would be around about the 20% mark.
So they were way below it before he came along.
And now they're operating much higher above it.
Was this a realization that the game is changing and we need to do something about it to compete with the very best?
