Kieran Tierney mentor tells Mikel Arteta how Nuno Tavares can still be unleashed by Arsenal

Arsenal have gone through a number of structural changes since Mikel Arteta took over from Unai Emery to become the head coach and now manager.

The formation began with a switch to a back three to combat the defensive deficiencies in the Arsenal side before shifting to the 4-2-3-1 which became a regular occurrence under Arsene Wenger.
