- Arteta is very happy with the way Arsenal attacked from the first minute, the clarity about how to disorganise Napoli, and the volume of chances. He says the scoreline should have reflected a very different result, and that doing this in this stadium against this opponent was remarkable.
when you talk about people being clinical, the reality is that they score one in every five or six shots on target. That's being clinical, you know.
- Arteta wants players with the mindset to decide a match and the personality to keep taking chances and risks when an action does not come off. His captain has been getting into those positions far more in recent games, and he scored an incredible goal.
- Arteta says he asked for it because Odegaard can do it, and because Arsenal now have players who take the ball and progress it far better than in the past. When that happens the captain can take different heights and angles to pull the opponent apart.
I think the hunger and the desire of the team and then each individual just putting his very best in every game, in every action, it's just a joy to watch.
- Asked which Napoli player impressed him, Arteta picks the midfielder he had the luxury of coaching for almost four years. One of the best ever in that position, he says, and still a joy to watch play.
