Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was left furious with his side’s performance in the first half at Anfield despite his side coming from behind to equalise impressively against champions Liverpool.
Speaking after the game, Arteta said his side need to improve their level of play if they are to challenge for silverware next season.
“What we did in the first half was below par. It was too late to make up for it. We reacted well, that was great, but the first 20 minutes was unacceptable,” Arteta said.
Arteta was then asked in his post-match press conference by สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน. Sport what part of his side’s performance was unacceptable.
“A lot of parts, especially the defending standards and the errors. After we gave the ball away, which is totally prohibited against this team,” he said.
“We were very far off it. I was really upset. Yeah, we had a reaction but I hate reaction, I like action.
“If we want to be there winning trophies, there is going to be a moment where you win it or you don’t. If you don’t, you have to play another one when you have been working for nine months. That is here, today.
“If you want to win trophies, you can win or lose them, then there will be another trophy, another trophy, and that’s the level we have to set ourselves. “
For me, it’s not okay. No one can guarantee you that you will win. You’ve got six or seven teams that are fighting to be in the Champions League next season.
