I Don’t Understand How Arsenal Lost To Southampton – Arteta

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to say that his team paid for their profligacy in the final third in their loss to Southampton. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it is very worrying to see his team lose three games in a row, and he blames his player’s lack of potency in front of goal for the bad results.

Arteta added that the way Arsenal controlled the game vs Southampton makes it difficult to understand how his club lost.

His words, “It’s a real worry. We’ve lost games in different ways. To lose the way we did today is difficult to explain. If you saw the game, you’d say Arsenal had won comfortably… It’s a really difficult one to take,”

“We performed but didn’t get a result. We need both. You have to put the ball in the net. You have to make the decisive moments count to win football matches and at the moment we’re not doing that.”

“Forster was incredible, the saves that he made today. It was a defining moment. That’s why I say the box has decided the game today. You could see the game was one-way traffic.”

“The way we controlled the game makes it difficult to understand how we lost,”

“The way we defended for the goal wasn’t good enough.”

“We didn’t hit the target many times and the end product was not as good as it can be. We conceded a very sloppy goal from a set-piece. When you have the amount of situations we created, you need to score three or four.”

“[The players] are really down today and they are down because they cannot find the right answers apart from what we can do better around the box. That’s the frustrating part.”
