Limitless Creativity vs Controlled Creativity
CHAOS vs CONTROL
Creativity is relative in football, for some it may be a skill used to beat a player,for others it can be a disguised pass/disguised first touch - there isn't a clear definition.
Actual debate is around the risk

instead of using Martinelli,Arteta's idea was to use gravity of Trossard to pull centerbacks and then release Kai or use surprising runs from LB.
Decent idea as pairing Gabi with Kai negates the running potential of the pair.
might be the thought process behind this setup

Arsenal exploiting obvious weakness of PSG's aggressive backline. Every team did that against Enrique and Arteta just copied.
-could have done more
-Marquinhos is the most vulnerable
-unleash Martinelli
but Arteta priortised other aspects for some reasons..

this idea always need a technical dribbler to bait press and that wont happen with Martinelli. So,i think this is a fair justification for not using Martinelli
-different priorities from Arteta
-aim was to expose Marquinhos,not Hakimi
-idea worked too in the first goal

the best and easy way for Arsenal to beat PSG’s man marking is to expose their isolated centerbacks. Since PSG often engage in man-man marking all over the pitch,at some of point of time,these CBs or even the fullbacks will be in vulnerable positions against quick runners..

this is a forced luck,not a random one.. PSG centerbacks has made similar clumsy errors and any team can force that too

Arteta probably won't go for a fully committed high press. the risk is higher if they go for high press after they let PSG backline and Vitinha have a controlled possession atleast for a few seconds. Either commit to a chaotic press or get back into a low block

once the backline has some control over the ball,its incredibly difficult to trap them as they are masters of manipulation. Should allow them to settle in to that controlled rhythm and it it happens,better not to press them. should retreat and set a low block ready for counter

Arsenal can pull off structured and controlled buildup sequences with this system and at the same time,they can release their runners as I mentioned in my previous post.If they can find a a balance between these two approaches,they can cause a lot of headaches for PSG

Mechanics of Arsenal's brilliant 'double 10' system
Arteta's shift to double 10s was crucial in the key period of their season(against Fulham & Atleti) and it was pleasing to watch

Arteta has speedy runners in his hands and this will be definitely their plan to exploit Enrique's man-marking system. They have to stretch the backline with wide movement and then attacks the expanded backline with multiple runners.
-use Calafiori and Rice for unpredictability

PSG isn't just a high intensity-oreinted side,they are masters of controlling tempo.
-slow tempo
-slow positional interchanges
-gaps occur naturally
-occupy that gaps
-break a line of press
-launch a high intensity direct attack
every phase tailored for player strengths

Buendía is Pure Magic
-see how ingrained movement pattern(chop->la croqueta) is emerging from environmental pressure
-player just know what to do from perception
-his routine bio mechanics follows
-perfect example of real time improvisation of a skill

thought process
sees defender-tries a chop-but instantly feels ball is in a range where he usually do La Croqueta
player can't resist the urge to do such skills when the ball is in certain areas relative to the body/foot
this is how ingrained behaviour emerges from perception

whole point is how he instantly went for that La Croqueta,which wasnt the intial intention
we got to appreciate how this dribblers takes such ultra fast decisions
it should be a crime,if anyone say its just god's gift
