Mikel Arteta praised his team’s effort and defensive work in our goalless draw against Everton and said parts of our game were “unbelievable”.

For the second weekend in a row, we limited our opponents very little going forward, but were unable to take advantage of the chances we created.

Overall, the coach said it had been a frustrating afternoon: “Yes, we are very disappointed not to have won the game because if there was one team that obviously deserved to win it was Arsenal.”

“Overall, we did everything we needed to, except for the fact that we didn’t score a goal. We conceded absolutely nothing, dominated the entire direct game, didn’t let them run and didn’t concede any set pieces.

“But we go there so many times, we created three or four big chances, didn’t score from there, and then the frustrating thing is that at the end of these games they come like that and you’re in a position to do that.” a lot to limit the opposition, which is very difficult, in the end you want to be rewarded for what you have done and the difficulty is that we didn’t do it tonight.

“There are all the moments in which we need a little more composure and more quality, that’s normal. That’s it. Backtrack? Incredible. Apply high pressure? Incredible. Dominate many things? Unbelievable, but the disappointing thing is that after what you did on the pitch you really want to win.”

This was our seventh game in the last three weeks and we had played three times since Everton last played before this game, but the manager said fatigue was not the reason for the points lost.

“If we have to cover 70 meters, we are by far the best in the world,” he said. “It’s not about energy. How they want it, unbelievable. The way they try. Every single player plays with the goal of making a difference. The frustrating thing is that they are there. We try everything and don’t get the points. We have to keep going.”
