Arsenal Players Must Take Responsibility For Poor Results – Sokratis

Arsenal defender, Sokratis has voiced out his displeasure about Arsenal’s performance at Wolves yesterday, saying he and his team-mates must take full responsibility for the shameful loss.

Arsenal leaked in 3 goals for the second successive game as they were beaten 3-1 by Wolves, a loss that left Unai Emery’s team depending on other slip-ups to keep their top-four hopes alive.

Winning their final three games will still not be enough for Arsenal to seal UCL spot next season, unless Chelsea loses points in their remaining games as well.

Sokratis said, “We didn’t play good,”

“It was a really bad game from us. The first 20 minutes was good but we lost some easy balls and we knew that on the counter-attack they are a very good team and we paid for this.

“For 20, 25 minutes we had the control of the game, the possession of the ball but they played very good at what they do, the counter-attack, and we were not there. They had three or four chances and scored three goals.

“After that it was very difficult for us to change the game.”

“All the players take responsibility. We are not stupid. We know that we didn’t play good. It is not the problem of the coach, the system, it is nothing. It is just us. This was a bad moment for us.

“It is not time to have excuses. We have to look forward: three games more. We need to win all the games and get nine points and we’ll see if we can be in the top four.”

“If we face [it] like this, we will lose,”

“It is another difficult game. We know that we have to take the points [at Leicester]. Three games, nine points.

“I trust 100 per cent my team and the players and I think we can do it.

“It is not about mentality, it is about nothing. We won two games in the last ten days away from home [before Wolves].

“We have to be in the best four teams in the Premier League and then after to win also the Europa League. We cannot wait only for our one chance. We have two chances and we have to fight for both.”
