In an interview after the match, coach Arteta told BT Sport radio: “Arsenal had a lot of possession but lacked quality and ideas in the third half of the Everton pitch. We created a lot of chances but couldn’t take them. usable.
Then Arsenal conceded first. Having a goal advantage, Everton took the initiative to slow down the tempo and make it difficult for Arsenal. Their advantage is a good height and a strong physical foundation. If you want to win against Everton, you have to know how to counter those things.
Arsenal need to calm down and control their emotions better. My players have fouled many times and helped the opponent to take many unnecessary free kicks.
It’s easy for you to be around and support whichever team wins. Despite the failure, I am still proud of the efforts of the students. They deserve it.
Conquering the Premier League title is not a road full of roses. It’s a tough road so we’ll have to try and play much better than we did today.”
