adminLONDON. — Mikel Arteta admits he had never seen Arsene Wenger as angry as he was at half-time at Anfield on Saturday. Arsenal were 4-0 down inside 19 minutes against a rampant Liverpool and eventually went down 5-1, their second heavy defeat of the season after a 6-3 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City in December.
But they responded to that defeat by taking 20 points from the next 24 available and Arteta says that is Arsenal’s new challenge, which starts with a clash against a reeling Manchester United tomorrow. He said: “We know we need to improve and face those games in a different manner because after 19 minutes we were 4-0 down and it was like a car crash.
“The manager was really upset at half-time, that’s normal because it wasn’t good enough for this football club. It was the angriest I have seen him.” — Sky Sports.
