"I'm upset that we don't score more, and that we concede as well. We want to be the best and the most dominant team in every aspect of the game, and that's the trajectory and the aim of this team, and as a club, we want to be the same."
"Now teams are adapting. Chelsea, look at the quality that they have, the amount of set-pieces they score. Manchester United as well. I was at Man City, I used to work a lot on them."
"I don't know how you celebrate one goal different to another one. Maybe for YouTube."
Mikel Arteta has defended Arsenal's reliance on set-pieces, stating he is disappointed the team does not score even more goals from dead balls. Arsenal leads the Premier League by five points, partly due to their set-piece efficiency under coach Nicolas Jover, reaching 16 corner goals this season. While critics, including Liverpool's Arne Slot and former striker Chris Sutton, argue set-pieces are ruining football's spectacle, Arteta remains unrepentant. He emphasizes Arsenal's goal is to be the best and most dominant team in every aspect of the game. Arteta agrees with Pep Guardiola's view that teams should adapt to set-piece strategies rather than complain, noting other top clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United also score significantly from set-pieces.
