Mikel Arteta issues defiant response to criticism of Arsenal's reliance on corners
"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. So we try to do that."
Mikel Arteta has responded to criticism regarding Arsenal's reliance on set-pieces in modern football. Arsenal leads the Premier League with 16 goals from corners this season, including both goals in their victory over Chelsea. Pundit Chris Sutton criticized this approach, suggesting Arsenal could become the "ugliest" title winners if they continue this trend. Liverpool manager Arne Slot has also expressed frustration about set-piece tactics making matches less enjoyable. Arteta remained defiant, emphasizing that Arsenal aims to be the best and most dominant team across every aspect of the game, including set-pieces, and expressed disappointment that the team doesn't score even more from these situations.
