Mikel Arteta lamented his team’s continued problems in front of the goal as Arsenal lost to the Spurs 2-0 in the North London Derby.
In the first half of the counter attack, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min assisted each other, and the Spanish side reversed twice.
The Gunners had 69% ownership, but found it costly because they couldn’t convert any of the myriad crosses thrown into the box. again.
As you can imagine, the boss didn’t feel great after the match.This is what he said when he faced Sky sports camera.
His commitment to the game …
This is soccer. They had one shot at the target and scored a mysterious goal. And second, because Thomas took a break. [Partey] I was injured and didn’t have a position. He had to fall to the floor. We gave the second one. I saw the team. I saw my team full of desire, passion, complete control of the game, creating all opportunities, creating all situations. Finally, it’s about the final product.This is they [Spurs] It’s at the beginning of the table. They created two situations and scored two goals. I think there were 54 crosses, but I don’t know the number of shots, but the target is only 2 times. This game is about doing it. We have to keep going, keep fighting and become today’s team, but obviously we need to improve those details.
To protect the goal …
For the first one, I think it will be a little better in the phase just before losing the ball. They are really similar, we had a situation to score a goal, and with a rebound, they take it. They are really good at keeping their first ball and son’s score from 20 yards, 25 yards in the top bin. Second, Thomas is out, limping, in pain, having to come off, and at the moment of the transition the man is gone.
Whether it was wrong for Parti to leave the pitch …
Of course, I want him to be on the pitch whatever he can for the team in that situation. No one expects him to be off the pitch. Anyway, he couldn’t keep playing and he was in a lot of pain. it is what it is.
Whether his player remained exposed during the break …
I do not know. Maybe we were a little cautious about our son. Do not intervene a little early. But that is a mysterious goal. You can go through all the decisions-can you be a little better in that situation? That’s what they’re doing really well. They did it once. The second is the guy we’re down on and it’s really hard to control. In the end, we lost the game. Again, they never gave up on their efforts, their fights, their spirit, how they played at this stadium, and how much effort they had made. It’s close, but it’s not enough to win a soccer match because it hasn’t scored a goal.
About changing the target drought …
At the moment, we are maintaining the system, working on delivery in the area where the ball is placed, and confirming that there is a number. After all, we have created enough situations today to score goals. They will come. They will come. I know it’s very frustrating. I am the first person to get frustrated. I have to support the players, keep training, keep fighting, keep going … there is no other way.
Arsenal have made the worst start in the league for 45 years …
If you don’t score a goal, it’s the same as the statistics.We can do whatever you want, the system, the information, we can put 55 strikers [on the pitch]You can’t win a soccer match without scoring a goal. It’s as easy as that.
Whether Arsenal are creating enough opportunities …
Certainly created more than Spurs. And they scored two goals and we were zero. The same thing happened to wolves last week.
In the Gulf of Arsenal and Spurs …
I’m worried about our team, I’m good enough. I’m not worried about Spurs players.
