Mikel Arteta tries to make sense of Arsenal’s latest slip up after a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth further damages Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:04 - It’s a big punch in the face. And now it’s about how we react. We need to approach it in a different way. 00:35 - Worried about reaction?: No. But some of basics we didn’t do. 01:15 - Fans: apologise. Take it on the chin. The atmosphere is the best. We have to apologise to them. 01:51 - Surprised how poor they were?: Far from the levels. I don’t want to criticise any players, especially here publicly. 02:29 - We can only control our performance. Defeat at home you have to accept it. It’s about how we’re going to change that immediately. 03:03 - Errors: there were situations I don’t want to go into. 03:24 - Odegaard and Calafiori: Saka as well, no update. 03:48 - Tired, fatigued?: I don’t want to use those excuses. It’s the scenario we have to embrace it and enjoy it. We need to be able to adapt. 04:38 - Disconnect team and fans: it comes from emotion, the right place. 05:01 - Biggest challenges you face?: we know what’s at stake. I want to focus on the thing we can control. We need to be very critical of ourselves. 05:51 - nerves down to drop in level: we need everyone fit and available. We need them immediately. We have to suffer today but tomorrow is a different day. @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
