[QUOTE="Philby, post: 7422943, member: 1802"] The lack of recent CL experience is a convenient red herring. For 2 seasons now Arsenal have been playing at a very high level. Only 7pts shy of City's points total during that period - and strong performances against the best PL teams. That's an elite performance compared to sides across the top european leagues. These days the CL isn't a wild west like the European Cup of the 70s/80s, where you have to deal with unfamiliar opposition, dodgy refs, partisan crowds etc. The tactical decisions which Arteta needed to take across the 2 legs are very similar to those he has had to make in many of the games against top 6 sides in the past few seasons.
