Mikel Arteta feels hard done by with the result as his side lost two goals to zero at home tonight at the hands of Liverpool. Nevertheless, he is happy with how his side played against what he described as an «incredible team». Here’s what the Arsenal man said in full;
0:00 Intro
0:07 I don’t think the result reflected the performance. We were the better team and the way the boys performed were at a really good level.
0:42 The only difference in the game was the chances taken, we have closed that skill gap.
1:14 Ramsdale had some great spells in the game and the goal was unfortunate that he let in.
1:36 They know how well they played, we have now lost against City and Liverpool and played well. Against the top teams it is just about details and margins when you play top teams.
2:21 Every time after a defeat the players are hurting, they didn’t want to stop the run that we were on.
2:39 This is a brilliant Liverpool team
3:13 Thank you so much to the Premier League for putting a tight fixture schedule – I am very happy… it is not fair what they have done!

Mourinho used to say his team were always the better team when they lost. Perhaps there's value in putting a positive spin on these situations but come on, Liverpool were Arsenal's equals in the first half and then dominated the second. End of story. COYR
I like that Arsenal lost, the fans got carried away beating all that small teams
He reckons they were the best side as well,sick of hearing remarks like this when a manager loses
Arteta is doing a great job. He'll become one of the great coaches of his time.
Arsenal on a great trojectory,, Liverpool was a free hit in the general scheme of things,,,
hahhahaha we have closed the gap, stop dreaming
Will they ever get THE VOICE LEVELS RIGHT on the broadcasts/interviews???
Can I just say arteta good manager but Liverpool are kings come on Liverpool ynwa quad is on ???????✊
Vamos Liverpool
Visit Rwanda. Are they ? No thx
Come to Liverpool after 2024.
According too Arteta Crystal Palace should be top of the league, complaining about playing twice a week lol welcome to the top table. Let's see if they can put similar performances against the likes of Chelsea them we will see if they have closed the gap.
Arsenal played very well tbf. But they was up against a league title hunting hungry team in Liverpool. Ynwa.
Great performance from arsenal today. It was only the experience of Liverpool that took them over the line. Perfect progress from arsenal.
Just want to say.. good epening
Arsenal have had a huge turn around this season! Wasn't looking good at the start of the season they were bottom and Everton were top!
How the tides have changed!
Arsenal are still a few years away to be considered league challenger's. But they are trending upwards!
Reminds me of Klopp's first two seasons we were playing good footy but lacked the big match experience. That was the difference between the two teams today YNWA ⛳
Sure Lego Head, Liverpool has played 12 competitive games compared to Arsenal’s 6 games before this game. Your crying about the fixture list, didn’t you suspended our League Cup 1st leg in January with fake tests.
Lmao. did he say they were the better team?
Not fair
You play game a week. This is first midweek game in months for Arsenal. Lpool plays on 4 fronts every 3 day since beginning of the season. Really not fair you haven't got 2 reserve squads for 1 competition
YNWA ??
Arsenal doesn't score a goal @ Liverpool since September 2020 lkkkk
No excuse Arteta?
What hes talking about? Look at liverpool schedule throughout the year Arteta! And then look at yours and man city's…you must be joking
We were the better team? ?? We kicked your butt, next will be your former boss'.
ARTETA U STOP ✋️ KNOCKIN THE TABLE. YNWA ?
Have to give credit to Arteta and his team for the work they did , Arsenal had improved drastically.
But we are LIVERPOOL ??
Liverpool have done everything the right way, throughout our history..
Simple.
Everything we hit, we destroy.
I would love to get involved but your audio is so shite I cant be arsed
Really Mikel? Crying out loud about the schedule?
Arsenal supporters should feel good about there teams performance. They gave us a tough time tonight.
Thank god Alisson saved that 1vs1
I was like “THIAGO WHY?????”
Until I saw Alisson save and said “oh thank you Ali!”
But Arsenal gave us a good game in the 1st half
