Injury-hit Arsenal mustered just TWO shots on target yesterday after midfielder Mikel Merino was handed his first career start as a No 9 following injuries to Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.
Asked what needs to change between now and Wednesday’s visit to third-placed Nottingham Forest, Arteta added: “First of all, suffer, 24 to 48 hours, suffer and feel the pain.
Sub Myles Lewis-Skelly was also sent off after a VAR review for tripping Mohammed Kudus — Arsenal’s FIFTH red card of the season.
Asked if he picked the wrong team, Arteta replied: “I would do the same, but when you lose you get it wrong, the tactics, the intentions, everything.”.
FURIOUS Mikel Arteta slammed his Arsenal flops and accused them of lacking the ‘levels’ to be champs.
