Best interview by an Arsenal manager in years. Thank you for that Arteta. There is no magical formula as he said. Spend big or go home

............. because unlike Wenger who could do no wrong in the eyes of the board and half the fans (even when losing) Arteta doesn't have that parachute, this is his first job and his career is on the line.
Also as I said earlier, Wenger was paid £10m a year (more than Fergie) to shield the board and just get that top 4 trophy for CL money ......... Arteta ain't on no £10m.
Wenger was paid to keep the ship steady and the show rolling even though both he and the board had downed tools and given up on being an elite team.

Arteta is rightly setting the bar very low let's hope he can get well over it ... went up a huge amount in my estimation yesterday and let's face it you could put Pep, Klopp, Mourinho in charge of this squad and they'd struggle for top six ... at least Arteta admits that.

We obivously did something right.
Tbf this (with less shot attempts) is how we lose a lot of games to lesser teams, the Spurs loss being the most recent.
Defend well and take their chances is usually what gets done against us so despite some in the match day thread saying things like "We played crap" i disagree, we played like a lesser team trying to beat a better team without getting torn to shreds in the process.
