That's according to Steve McClaren, who says Arteta must drill his players to recover quicker when they lose the ball, should he take the vacant manager's job at Arsenal. Arteta held talks with Arsenal chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and chief negotiator Huss Fahmy on Sunday, following the Gunners' 3-0 defeat by Manchester City. "So I can see Arteta going into Arsenal and going, you know what, in terms of build-up possession, keeping the ball, we've got players who can do that. I think he can can instil that at Arsenal, he can tweak Arsenal in terms of defenders, which I think they definitely need. "I just think Arsenal are further ahead than Everton are and Arteta knows Arsenal, he's got an affinity with Arsenal, it's a little bit like Frank [Lampard] going to Chelsea, he knows Chelsea , it's working, he knows the kids there.
