Arteta Defends Arsenal Tactics in Tense Draw Against Man City

"I am determined to win, our preparation for the games and our style of play are all geared towards achieving that goal," stated Arteta confidently.

“But understanding the context. I want to wear flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt, but with this weather? I think I would be very silly to do that. ‘I am very brave’ - yeah but tomorrow you are sick.”

“That is not a debate,” he continued. “That is a war you cannot win, no? On this side, ‘I don’t like it’. On this side, ‘I don’t like it.’

“So where do I go? Don’t get involved in it. It doesn’t make any sense. It is very clear, you look from outside and you are not going to get involved here.”
