Disgruntled Arteta Urges Squad To “Learn” From Leicester Draw

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has asked the team to look past their recent failures.

Although the Arsenal head coach was severely frustrated with the Leicester City draw, he knows that is a learning opportunity.

“We have to learn. When you play against this opposition, when you have them, you have to kill them off,” Arteta told reporters.

“That’s the fourth time that we’ve had to play with 10 men. It’s not possible for that long against this opposition. And I didn’t like the goal we conceded.

“It’s very difficult to do. The hardest thing to do is score goals. We generated the chances to go in with a much bigger margin at half time. If you don’t do that you cannot play these games.

“I’m extremely proud of our team and the way we played against this type of opposition with how dominant we were in the first half.

“But clearly, we should’ve gone three or four-nil up and killed the game. That’s what you have to do with this type of opposition.”

Arteta subbed in Aubameyanga and brough in Lacazette to replace Nketiah after the young player’s mistake – to make him “learn” from the situation.

“He’s disappointed,” Arteta said. “He’s on the front foot in every action and he didn’t see the player.

“He needs to learn from this situation. They [Auba and Laca] will have to support him.”
