A furious Mikel Arteta said Arsenal's bid to win the Premier League title is now out of their hands after accusing his players of failing to hit the levels required in their crushing 1-0 defeat against West Ham at the Emirates.
Arsenal will be back in action on Wednesday with a daunting trip to third-placed Nottingham Forest and Arteta added: "We will suffer and feel the pain and then make sure that we come back on Monday with that bite and that anger still in the stomach for Wednesday's game.".
Liverpool could go 11 points clear if they beat Manchester City and Arteta did not hold back as he expressed his disappointment.
The team can play much better than we did today, and we have to play much better, and with much more quality.".
You have to deliver and it has to be with quality to break down a really good team, and put in the actions that can allow threatening moments to win games, and today we didn't do that.
