Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists his side failed to find the answers to Newcastle’s game as they lost 1-0.
“We started the game very well, we played very well, we looked good and lively and the only action was direct balls, wide balls, they were very good, ufabet https://ufabet999.app it was an incredible cross and finish.”
Arteta “Then the energy changed. You knew the game they wanted to play was clear. You always get sucke into a game like that. We couldn’t find the answer to get out of it.”
“You have to rely on two or three big chances – one from Miguel (Merino), two from Declan (Rice), one from Gabriel Jesus – but they weren’t dangerous enough to say we can change the game and win it. That’s the frustrating part, but credit to Newcastle as well for what they did.”
“We don’t find the right answers or the right words to describe how we feel right now. We have to play on Wednesday against Inter. It’s not about hoping to win the league, it’s about being the best version of ourselves every week. Today we weren’t the best version.”
“I didn’t feel that way (the players were scared and nervous). Maybe I felt that way from the start of the game. I didn’t feel that way. What I felt was we lacked more purpose and danger, lacked more ability and help them more.
“We don’t have Odegaard. We can talk about it all day. We haven’t had him in the last four five six weeks . And we still don’t have him. But we have many other effective answers. We have to look at ourselves, congratulate Newcastle and then move on.”
