Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to insist that his players must develop an over my dead body attitude. This is coming after their 2-2 draw with Fulham on Saturday, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, conceding first definitely made life difficult for Arsenal in front of the home crowd, and even if they dominated the game, the result is all that counts.
Arteta added that he is pleased with the level of commitment and desire shown by his boys, but they can do better.
His words, “Right from the beginning, we gave an incredible goal away. You make life really difficult for yourself. But the team reacted really well. We dominated the game and created countless chances and should have scored five, six, seven goals easily. And when you have done the most difficult thing which is to get back ahead against a team that is well organised, you have to defend your box from one corner. It is the only chance they have and you get punished.”
“Yet still you get another two chances and don’t score – that is the story of the game. The amount of things we did to merit to win the game comfortably, we end up with one point.”
“We have to show another level of commitment and desire and ‘over my dead body’. With 10 men, you cannot concede a goal.”
