Arteta insists that he need not to worry about the players he doesn’t have at his disposal but rather maximize what he has.
“What we have is what we have to maximise,” Arteta said, “and worrying about things that we don’t have at the moment, there is no point. My energy is only on the players we have, make them better, and make them a better threat and win matches.”
Mikel Arteta’s men lost to Spurs and the Spaniard reacted to the performance of his players on the game.
“It was a great test to play that type of game before starting [the season]. I think the game had different phases, 10 minutes when we had some problems with our high press and we were a little bit disorganised, after that we got control of the game and dominated it.
“We had some big chances but didn’t score and they had one big chance and they didn’t score.
“Second half it was very interrupted with the amount of substitutions that happened so to get a flow in the game is more difficult and the game was decided in an action where we made a mistake and we got punished.”
