Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has decided to remain quiet instead of saying how he truly feels about the officiating during his team’s loss vs Aston Villa. When the Spaniard was asked about the decisions from the match officials, Arteta simply decided to keep his opinions to himself.
According to him, his players dominated every aspect of the game and would’ve won the match easily on a different day.
He added that it is a shame that Arsenal were not very ruthless in the box when the opportunities came in the opponent’s penalty area.
His words, “I keep that between me and them,”
“I prefer to stay on mute on that.”
“As you could see, I was really animated for a few decisions and one big decision I will not discuss here as well, what happened.”
“It is what it is. It is not an excuse, Regardless of those decisions, we have to win the game. It is as simple as that.”
“We completely dominated the game,”
“We dominated every department and we should have won the game.”
“But in the Premier League when you give a goal just to the opponent and we gave them another three opportunities, and then you are not ruthless enough in the opponents’ box, you don’t win games.”
“The rest, the way the team played, the energy and quality they showed, the amount of chances and situations we created, how quickly we regained the ball, how we controlled the long ball, second balls, how aggressive we were in our duels, incredible. But it wasn’t enough to win the game.”
