Arteta “We were very clear in what happened, the reason why it happened, watching the Southampton game two times, we didn’t deserve to lose that much, but this is football and we got punished for things that are our identity, we need to defend in the strongest possible way.”

What’s tha even mean ?
Really shocking the amount of individual errors that game. It didn’t even feel like complacency, just absolute lapse in focus and judgment from the 1′ to 90′ from so many players. Never want to see that again in a competitive match
Sums up his mentality , “didn’t deserve to lose” instead of deserved to win . He sets up not to lose which can be good for most teams but you have to go for it against teams like Southampton, wolves etc.
We didnt deserve to win either playing like that
He would fit right in in his Everton job next, he can talk about not deserve to lose all season
We lost because whilst yes, Ben White’s individual error is highlighted, but when you see that goal again, look at Odegaard, Dowman (hes only 16, he gets a pass), and the others, just strolling back with zero urgency. Especially dissapointed with Odegaard there because hes kinda the one that started the counter attack against us, not gonna blame him obviously as hes in the opposition half, its not HIS FAULT but hes just jogging back man. We could have had a guy covering Ben White but no.
Then its our shooting. Why is our shooting so bad!?? Martinelli, he rarely gets a shot on target, WHY? ODegaard, how many times we seem him miss that shot, hes a brilliant footballer, but why cant anyone shoot (apart from Gyokores).
Arteta Out is leaking. Can’t wait to send you lot back to the cave where you belong
Didn’t deserve to lose but poor finishing the first 30 minutes. And they got the fluke goal. Gotta put those away papa! That ode one hurt me in my balls(he played great tho for first game back)
Scoring once against a championship side is genuinely diabolical work from the team that’s sitting top of the league table. This has been a reoccurring issue thru out the year.
Ah yes using the word defense again, never attack for Arteta
Ramblings of a mad man.
Joking aside, if the way we play is our ‘identity’, then I would prefer a different identity please
Surely he has to realise the problems aren’t defensive ones at this point, our faults this season fall in attacking areas
Cannot wait till he’s gone. He is never going to win us any real trophies
The worst part is that recently we are just not enjoyable anymore. And on top of that, we started losing the games
4 more PL wins. That’s all I ask for Mikel. Give me 4 wins .
No we absolutely deserved to lose. Stop with the copium and take some responsibility. Two cups gone just like that. Everyone at the club needs to look in the mirror and actually ask themselves if they want the league title
Us not taking our chances and Southampton taking theirs is the definition of deserving to lose, what is he on about?
No Arteta, we deserved to lose that match when you play worse hence the score; own it! Absolute delusion and makes me more concerned
We need to defend. So he missed the point again.
He’s always pointing to “didn’t deserve” this snd that. Fact is the team has been playing on the margins for a long time now and at the mercy of variance going against you. Not enough intent to go and take the game to the opposition, dominate the ball and make consistently good and plentiful chances to score.
