Experts and bookmakers agree that after Arsenal's defeat to West Ham, Liverpool is virtually the champion of England. However, the Gunners' head coach, Mikel Arteta, is eager to prove the critics wrong.
Details: The Arsenal manager stressed that his team has been keeping pace with Liverpool for the past three months. If the Gunners maintain this momentum, despite the loss, his players can succeed.
Quote:
"It was a very disappointing weekend. In the previous 15 matches, we won 10 and drew five - exactly the same as Liverpool, with the same goal difference of +23. So, we have been very consistent over the last three and a half months, considering everything we've had to go through.
We built this momentum, and it was the weekend when we should have done what we needed to do again. Nothing changed from the previous 15, and we suffered a defeat, along with a Liverpool victory.
When you're trying to build this momentum, and we've invested so much into it, especially under the circumstances we have, it was very hard to take. The reality is, there are still so many games ahead, and we need to get back to them. You have to have the level, consistency, and hunger to get back on the field, and that's exactly what we're going to do on Wednesday," Arteta stated.
