Arsenal continues his sad series of five games without victory. After an elimination against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final (2-1, 1-0), the Gunners conceded a draw (2-2) against Liverpool this Sunday in the Premier League.
This result is far from satisfactory for Mikel Arteta, even if his men, led 2-0 at the break, managed to return to the score. The Spanish coach was particularly unhappy with the lack of involvement of his players in the first forty-five minutes.
“You must be better than the others”
“Many things were unacceptable, especially the defense standards we had and the areas where we lost the ball, which is completely prohibited against this team. We are therefore very far from the account, very edgy. Yes, we reacted. I hate reactions, I like action, especially if you want to win trophies. You want to be at a time when you win or not. And when you don't win, you have to play another trophy you worked on for nine months. And if you cannot win the Premier League, you must be better than the others. I was really, really upset ”said the Basque at a press conference.
And Arteta has something to be since Arsenal occupies second place in the classification in the championship, but remains under the threat of Newcastle, 3rd to three lengths, two days before the end of the season.
