Mikel Arteta did not mince his words when analyzing his team’s performance, calling this defeat a real wake-up call. The Spaniard recognized that his players had lacked efficiency in overcoming a Bournemouth team that had been undefeated for eleven games.
“It was disappointing,” he told TNT Sports. “It’s a big blow, and it all depends now on how we react. It’s not without reason that they haven’t lost in 11 games: they played very well. We weren’t efficient enough. On their first foray into our area, a deviation, a defensive error, and there you have it: 1-0. We’ll have to get over it. In the second half, we expected another match. We have made some curious choices, but we remain constant. It happens: it’s football. »
