 It's what we planned, but the market is difficult, it's complicated, Arteta said. 
|
We started slow, we looked leggy and didn't have enough rhythm or intention to attack the way we wanted, said Arteta.
|
I think he is growing, he is playing better and better, Arteta said. I think he had a really good game the other day against Liverpool, his understanding of the game, he is managing the physicality much better, he is maturing.
|
We tried in every different way but lacked the quality in the final third, said Arteta. At the end, when we have a really low block, you need spark and creativity to win football matches and today we didn't do that.
|
Tomi had an injury and we didn't have anybody to play in that position against Liverpool, said Arteta. He needs to recover and look after himself, to try and be available as quick as he can.
|
In this market things are complicated, Arteta told BBC.
|
We didn't want to play him, we had to push him because Cedric and Calum were out and we didn't have any full-backs, Arteta said after the game. The moment that he knew that, he said that he would play. He didn't have any training sessions with us, and still was willing to play and compete...
|
It is a possibility in every game, said Arteta. From our side, from the opponents' side, because of the amount of issues everyone is having and because it is happening every week.
|
Well, he's done incredibly, Arteta said. We didn't want to play him, we had to push him because Cedric [Soares] and Callum [Chambers] were out and we didn't have any full backs.
