"We have the most important period in both competitions ahead of us, and it's now the moment when you have a difficult moment in the season, to show what we are made of – and it is now we have to show who we are.
"Obviously, we're very disappointed. We wanted to get back to Wembley as quickly as possible, and we haven't managed to do that – so first of all, congratulations to Southampton for being there.
"The game had moments, we had moments, where we had a lot of dominance from our side, and chances, and situations in and around the box that we didn't capitalise on enough. And then we have to accept we were poor in and around our box defending situations that normally we are excellent at. We paid the price."
Looking at the contest, as well as paying tribute to our supporters, Mikel said: "100 per cent [we have to do better in both boxes], and that's what you have to do well. If you don't, you put yourself in a really difficult position, against a good team on a good run."
"We're very sad because we want to give them joy and give them back what they showed again tonight – unfortunately, we couldn't do that, we tried until the last seconds. But there are certain things you have to do in football if you want to win."

Bottlers?
Why do I feel like this is a prime meme template in making

I thought they already did?
So how many competitions do we have to fail in before we start showing who we are. Or is this just who we are?
The amount of shit posts about Arsenal just show how much people love to rail on us.
Bored of it all now. I just want them to start playing like they give a shit again, fed up of the excuses and “oh, we tried”… I have eyes, don’t bullshit me.
You are generational losers. Spent 1 billion, play haram ball, use all the dirty dark arts in the world just to win absolutely nothing
Show who they are? A team who plays for corners then grapples players to the ground.
They knowingly protected a rapist, they’ve already shown who they are
You showed who you are.
The true bottlers
Just don’t bottle it this year ffs! Otherwise he needs to go. He made us better, and I’ll be forever grateful, but we need a winner.
I think you already have been
This dude’s inspirational speeches are getting old. Just get over the line.
Arteta is all talk no bite.
Yes. “The bottlers”
What on earth is he talking about they got battered this guy never takes accountability if I was an arsenal fan I would be fuming with him, he either doesn’t respect the fans intelligence at all or he is deeply out of touch with reality
Arteta is smart, focussing only on the big trophies
Show it. Cross to Gabriel and bully the gk what are you waiting for
Hoping for the usual melt down. City has been soft this season but really hoping for a title race down the stretch.
Does anyone where the real football fans debate? Sure as hell isn’t here.
Pretty sure they are currently showing what they are really well over these past two games?
Feels like every time Arteta gives one of these speeches about “showing who we are” we just end up looking more confused than before
Defense was absolutely shocking tonight and you can’t just talk your way out of that mess – need actual changes not more philosophy lectures
“We must show who we are”
“TO THE BOTTLE!!”
Sooo embarrassing
