Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta talked about his side after their 3-1 win.
on the progress the team has made-
He said, “I have been saying that for a while, and I can probably see more things because internally I know the process that has happened and how much has happened since we were here a year ago.
I think the difference is really big and we are really pleased with the result and the goals that we scored, and the way that we played in big moments in the game.
But as well we have to be very clear and honest with ourselves that we gave three goals to the opponent and they took one, and at that level they are going to punish you.
So to go to the next level, we haver to stop doing that and be more ruthless – and when you are that dominant and playing that well, just kill the game.
on whether the errors shake his confidence in his approach-
No, it is just when we have to play it. You know you have to play the ball to this player, but when is the difference… is it now, a second later or a second earlier?
That gives the opponent a chance to press or intercept a pass or not and that is where the difference is. To discriminate the decision making and when it has to be done is what dictates in the next action whether you are successful or not.
But it is not about stopping or discouraging the team not to play, we just have to understand when to do it and that’s crucial.
If not you create insecurity in a game that is totally under control and it brings the team into an insecurity mode because you gift to the opponent how much we have in the game, the chances that we missed and it is unnecessary.
But its true that the reaction after that to score goal – and we probably should have scored one more – was great to see as well.
