🗣️Mikel Arteta says he is very surprised people criticised his team selection in the #Arsenal draw with City at the weekend: “I don’t read it, but the press officer does tell me a little bit what the narrative is around it. If you tell me that this is the main one (criticising his team selection), if I’m surprised, I would be extremely surprised, with my knowledge and my know-how and how I analyse a football game because it was impossible for somebody to predict such a dominance from Arsenal throughout 96 minutes because it never happened in 17 years of Pep as a manager. “So if the narrative goes somewhere else, and we talk about dominance, about something else, how can you be dominant against such a team if you have, what was the word that was used? Handbrake. Dominance and handbrake. There are two different words, but I accept everything. “I was just surprised because when I saw everything and watching it back and all the stats, I was surprised. But I respect everybody’s opinion and if I can see and learn something that I haven’t seen, I’m more than happy to do so. So that’s never an issue.” Arsenal 🔴
