DRESSING ROOM
Mikel Arteta is adamant that the atmosphere in the Gunners’ locker room is good, despite recent poor form.
He also talked about the “percentage chance” of winning the previous games that didn’t come out like Arsenal.
He said: “I did not say that I was not paying attention, I said that I did not read. I do pay attention and I have to be alert, and I am aware of what is happening and that is part of my job.
“What I’m saying is that I don’t read, if I started reading all the comments, whether positive or negative, I would go crazy and my suggestion for all the players is exactly the same, all the time it happens with social networks too because you can’t control who writes or what their intentions are, so it is very dangerous.
“When you talk about the dressing room and the atmosphere in the club, the atmosphere is good, as good as it can be when we are all hurt because the results in the Premier League are hurting us.
“Everyone is worried and everyone is suffering because we want much more. We are working to achieve much more. In the locker room when you are losing football matches it is difficult because they also suffer because they care, because they want more, because the level of confidence begins to go down, but unity is there Is there 100% unity in the whole club?
“It is impossible in any club even when you win because when the players are not participating it is more difficult but when you look at the perspective of how we are losing football matches and how we are where we are, it is quite incredible.
“Last year we won the game against Everton with a 25% chance of winning, you win 3-2. Last weekend, there was a 67% chance of winning, any Premier League game in history, and a nine% chance of losing, and you lose.
“Three percent against Burnley and you lose, seven percent against Spurs, and you lose. There is something else besides that, it’s not just performance on the field, it’s something else that should work in our favor and at the moment it doesn’t.
“Saying that, he doesn’t care and loses, and the only thing someone cares about is losing a football game and this is what he hears.”
