Arsenal won the match with Liverpool last night smoothly by 2-1.
However, according to Arteta, even though his side won, the need to make the team stronger by introducing new players is still very important and should not be forgotten. Arsenal’s defence is shot and several critics have pointed that out already. Simply relying on star player Aubameyang and a handful others won’t cut it.
“I think it’s pretty clear that we need to strengthen the squad,” Arteta told reporters post-match.
Asked how long it will take to close the gap, Arteta said in a news conference: “Well I have seen it and I have experienced it. To do it in one year, and I have seen other clubs never do it. Or some clubs do it in four or five years.
“Depends on the context, depends on the resources, depends on how much you have to change.
“We are in a process, we don’t know at the moment. There is a lot of uncertainty in many areas, what we can control now is who we want to be as a team, the culture we are building in order to do that, the spirit to be successful and then improve our players.
“My main focus is to make our players better, make them feel more comfortable and create an identity for the club because it will be easier to say we need this, this and this.”
