Arsenal are not 'close to the standards' needed to win the league: Everything Mikel Arteta said following the collapse against Wolves
"Well, extremely disappointed, obviously, with the result, with the way the game ended, but we have to blame ourselves. I think the performance in the second half didn't show anything close to the standards that are required, in this league to win and with the margins that, I think it should have existed today, especially in the manner that we played the first half. So, it's a moment of disappointment."
"We all want to talk a lot about how we're feeling. It's not a moment to do that because anything that we do has to be always, and only with the intention to help the team. And right now, I think we have to swallow that frustration. When you are at this level and at the top, you need to take the hits because today we deserve them as well, and, and move on as quick as possible because on Sunday we have, a big game coming up."
Arsenal raced into a 2-0 lead at Molineux after four minutes, with Piero Hincapie scoring his first goal for the club. The Gunners conceded twice, including a stoppage-time equaliser, to draw and drop two points. The result leaves Arsenal only two points ahead of Manchester City, should City win their game in hand, tightening the title race. The second-half performance failed to maintain dominance, with basic errors and a loss of calm cited as causes. The team must absorb frustration and quickly prepare for a key upcoming fixture on Sunday.
