Tony Adams believes Mikel Arteta has "problems" with Hector Bellerin in a back three. Arteta’s side were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City on Saturday night as the Gunners lined up in a 3-4-3 formation. Arteta has hailed the improvements of the Spaniard earlier this month. “I think he’s improving day by day. Defensively he’s doing a lot of work individually with the coaches, and with the ball in the final third he feels much more comfortable,” said the Arsenal boss at the start of the month. The former Granada boss believes Arteta still has a problem with Bellerin. “I think it’s time for a back four. I’ve been saying it since the start of the season,” Adams told Premier League Productions. “It wins you cup games, it doesn’t win you league titles. “If he wants to build for the future. I think he’s got problems with Hector, I think his defending today wasn’t very good at all. But I’d like him to go to a back four. They’ve got Gabriel now, get him a partnership. They’ve been unlucky at the start with Holding going down but get them into a back four. They look like they’ve a holding midfielder now who’s got a bit of presence and build for the future.”
