Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has acknowledged that West Ham United outperformed his team in critical areas during their recent encounter. Despite Arsenal’s dominance in possession and a high number of shots, Arteta admitted that their opponents had the upper hand where it mattered most.
Arteta’s Take on Arsenal’s Performance
Arteta highlighted the inefficiency of his team in front of goal, suggesting that if 30 shots were not enough to secure a goal, they would need to aim for 50 or 60 attempts. The Arsenal boss expressed his disbelief at the outcome, considering the level of control and the number of touches his team had in the opposition’s box.
Under Arteta’s management, Arsenal has been known for their attacking style of play, but the recent match against West Ham proved to be a challenge as they struggled to convert their opportunities into goals. Arteta’s comments reflect a need for his team to be more clinical in their finishing to match their overall game dominance.
Despite the setback, Arteta remains focused on improving his team’s performance in both creating and taking chances in future fixtures.
