"The reaction since United has been excellent. We took a moment [on Monday] to bring the temperature down, to pause, to reflect and ask two questions. 'One was: 'How do we feel? And how do I feel myself?' And then: 'How do we want to live the next four months?' It was so encouraging and beautiful, because what came out of there [the meeting] is very simple."
"'We have earned the right to be in a great position in four competitions, and in the next four months we're going to live and play with enjoyment, with a lot of courage and with the conviction that we're going to win it. 'This is going to be the mindset and where we're going to put our energy, and I'm just hoping that everybody that is related to this club, especially our supporters,"
Mikel Arteta convened a planned meeting to lower tensions and prompt reflection after a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United. Arsenal have collected two points from their last three Premier League matches but remain four points clear at the top. The squad will contest four competitions over the next four months and aims to approach them with enjoyment, courage and the conviction to win. Arsenal face Kairat Almaty in the Champions League, remain on course for the Carabao Cup final and continue in the FA Cup. Arteta appealed for supporters to embrace the positive mindset.
