Arteta: The performance of conceding two goals at the beginning of the game is unacceptable. All the responsibility lies with me [jiayu]


Live Football 12th May - Arsenal drew 2-2 with Liverpool away. After the match, manager Arteta pointed out at the press conference that the team's performance at the beginning of the game was "unacceptable" and he took full responsibility.

Arteta said, "Our performance in the first half was far from what we should have been at. It's unacceptable to come to our senses only after conceding a goal." We managed to catch up with the score, but this was unacceptable. I don't like belated reactions. What I want is action. Whether you can win the trophy or not, you must show your best self.

Our performance 20 to 25 minutes later, including in the second half, was exactly what I asked for. What are the impacts of being eliminated from the Champions League midweek? When I saw the team put on such a performance, I thought it really needed a bit of fighting spirit. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with me. This is definitely my responsibility.

This is not the players' problem, but it concerns "us". Here, neither the players nor the coaches accept such standards at the beginning.
