He has a very special character, Arteta said on Jesus. He suffered a lot in previous year with injuries and when he was coming back to his best he gets hit with that one.So yeah, we wanted to win for him and hopefully he appreciated that.
We were sensational tonight, Arteta said. After two big performances without reward in two different competitions, you have to play the biggest game of the season for our people – in those conditions.
He was phenomenal again today, Arteta said. He is a real personality and has a real attitude about him, you need it to play vs (Dejan) Kulusevski and (Brennan) Johnson.
What I can say is that it's not what I want, its what both those players have in their minds as well and what their situations, Arteta said earlier this month.
It would be naive not to do that because there is always an opportunity to evolve the team and improve the squad, Arteta said. Especially with the circumstances we have.
It is the nicest game of the season to watch and play because of the atmosphere and what it means to the people – us and everyone that is involved, said Arteta. The atmosphere is something the fans can help with and something we can do by giving them something to feed off.
He makes everybody at the club very proud, said Arteta. He has been in our system for a long time.
