Every word Mikel Arteta said on David Raya, Champions League lessons and Arsenal’s inconsistency

I think we started the game very well. The first 25 minutes we read their approach really good. I think we played in the right areas with the right intentions without creating too many chances. After that we lost control of the game because we were very inconsistent with the ball. We gave a lot of simple balls away against teams that are man to man can leave you in transition moments because you’ve already lost your man and then there is space and you are in equal numbers in the backline or overloaded. We didn’t suffer defensively. That’s the reality. Then I witnessed two of the best saves of my career from David in that moment.

After that the game continued in the same way like after the first 25 minutes. We were very inconsistent. We had moments with the ball but we never got it into dominance or threat. We had a big chance for Gabi Martinelli to win the game that unfortunately he couldn’t take. So, a lot to improve.
