 They showed exactly what I expect from them, said Arteta. 
|
He was ineligible for this game, that's it, and this game is gone now, Arteta told BT Sport.
|
He was going to start the game, Arteta told Sky Sports. We had a disciplinary issue.
|
Arteta told BT Sport: It's just to give some continuity to what we did in the last game, it was Laca the captain, so we will continue like this.
|
It's a big game because of the position they are in, and the position we want to be in, said Arteta.
|
It is a decision we have made following the last incident that we had with the player, said Arteta.
|
I think it's a really clear statement from the club, Arteta said on Tuesday. It's a decision we have made following the last incident that we had with the players and this is where we stand.
|
The decision we have taken as a club is very clear - it is because we believe he has failed to be committed at the level we all expect and agreed, Arteta said.
|
In the Premier League, when you have the opponent there for the taking, you have to kill the game, said Arteta afterwards.
|
We made a decision to get the best out of the team and I believe in that moment it was the right call to get some fresh legs on, Arteta said.
|
We have to encourage the players to take more risks and put the ball in the box more when we have the opportunity to do so, Arteta said.
|
It's a really unpleasant situation and it's not the moment to make any rash decisions, Arteta said. The leadership group is really strong. It's one that communicates with myself, the coaching staff and with the club in a really strong way, and we're going to continue like that.
|
In the first half we were very inconsistent with the ball. I didn't like it. No penetration, Arteta told Sky Sports.
|
I wouldn't like to be in this position, not with him, but with any player to make this kind of decision, Arteta said.
|
It's a big game because of the position they are in, and the position we want to be in, said Arteta.
|
We have made this decision that unfortunately is a really tough one, Arteta said.
|
Well, we have the leadership group, and we think that we have different players that are nominated to be captain, Arteta said on Tuesday. In the last game, it was [Alexandre Lacazette], and we have Granit [Xhaka] as well, who has been captain, so we will follow that.
|
Whatever we do with our players we keep it internally, Arteta said.
