Arteta wants Arsenal to exploit Bournemouth’s “pain” against Shakhtar

After William Saliba was sent off in the first half for his part in Bournemouth, Gunners lost 2-0 on Saturday.

The team fell short of the Premier League’s top position and finished four weeks behind Liverpoo

But Arteta said in his pre-match press conference on Monday that there was no need to worry after his first defeat since April.

“You fail, it’s part of the game, and it happens in very specific circumstances,” he said.

“Go on, take the pain that’s still in our stomachs, let it remind you of where you want to be and use it for tomorrow night.”.

 

The Spaniard said: “From a perspective eye. It’s clear that we want to win everywhere. The truth is that we’ve made it very difficult for us. the games we have to play, but that’s the truth we can’t run away from.

“When it comes to that game we didn’t get away. We could have, and that’s a very different story, but the truth is we didn’t. We have to do it again.”

Arteta became the third Gunners player sent off in eight Premier League games this season, after Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard were sent off “Playing with ten men is really problem,” he said. “The truth is that when you analyze three different actions and their results, they have different reasons.

He also added: It should be eliminated, it is clear why, why and how, it doesn’t matter, it needs attention, it needs to happen.

Arteta said Bokayo Saka’s fitness will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s clash at the Emirates after missing the England winger at Bournemouth.

After drawing 0-0 with Atalanta and beating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0, Arsenal will look for their second win in the Champions League group stage against Shakhtar.

Arteta expressed “a lot of love” for his Ukrainian rivals, who are forced to play Champions League matches “at home games” in Germany because of the ongoing war in their country ..”What they have to do is continue to play football at this level and compete like they do,” he said. “It’s amazing.”
