Mikel Arteta is not happy with squad’s game management

Arsenal has moved up to fourth in the Premier League table.

The Gunners have won a thrilling game against Watford last night to seal their position in the top-four.

Mikel Arteta has hammered his side for not taking control when they had a two-goal cushion early on in the game.

“A lot of positive things in our general play, the chances we created, we scored some great goals, but we didn’t have total control of the game and I’m not happy with that,” Arteta told Arsenal Media after the final whistle.

“Once we scored the third one I think we should have played a completely different game. We didn’t manage to take control of the game to play the right passes in the right areas, we were rushed, we were broken [against], we were in transition moments where we didn’t finish the actions, we had transition moments against us and that creates physically a very demanding game, which you could see in some players. As well, the uncertainty that if they scored a goal then the game was on.

“Attacking, we have been much more consistent, much more creative, our cohesion, our link, our understanding of what to do in each moment is getting even better and today we scored three good goals.”
