Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta, after his team was defeated by Crystal Palace, said that they started badly from the start.
“It simply came to our notice then. When you come here you have to compete. You have to win duels and other balls and be aggressive, we didn’t do that and we were still very bad at the ball, “said Arteta.
Unlike the first, the second half was better, but not enough.
“We tried in the continuation, we had three or four great opportunities, while they drew a penalty from one-half chance. But it’s football. We accept criticism, and we apologize because our game this time was not good enough for this club. Congratulations to Palas for deserving to win. We are modest enough to accept criticism. We do not feel sorry for ourselves because we lost the players and the game “, concluded the Spaniard.
