Arteta bemoans lack of killer instinct as Arsenal drop two crucial points via IrishTimesSport
Arteta suggested his players, who had also led 2-0 at Liverpool seven days previously before being pegged back, are shy of the mental edge needed to deny opponents the scent of a comeback.
“For sure, because we’re here to win,” he said. When you’re able to play at that level [raises his hand high] and you drop your level so quickly [drops hand towards the floor] the game is there. Any opponent is going to be able to do that. For sure we have to dig really deep and find the solutions to that.”
The error in question was a lax flick from Thomas Partey, which led to Gabriel Magalhães fouling Lucas Paquetá. Arsenal’s players beat a similar refrain to their manager. Arteta said the forward’s miss, his first from the spot since the Euro 2020 final, was nothing out of the ordinary for a regular taker and that he would ask Saka to take any penalty Arsenal are awarded against Southampton on Friday.
