The reaction he had after missing a penalty [on Thursday], there is always the question, Arteta said after the victory. But I asked him yesterday how he was and he said: 'I want to be in the team'.
I'm really pleased with the performance, the energy, the determination that we showed again, the way we controlled the game, said Arteta. It was tough after playing 120 minutes in the week, wondering how the team would react but they reacted brilliantly and the crowd was at it again.
I want to think positively. I touch wood, I want to think positively, Arteta said. They are going to play games and they have to do it in the way they do it here.
The reaction he had after missing a penalty was great, Arteta said of Martinelli. There is always the question, but I asked him yesterday how he was and he said: I want to be in the team.
He was disappointed not to get a hat-trick. That is what we need, Arteta said. We need our front players firing and making the difference and today they did that again.
