Mikel Arteta will not dilute his pitch-side passion in the wake of criticism of his antics and an FA charge for failing to control his players.
The Arsenal manager insisted he will 'look in the mirror' and assess his behaviour but will continue to physically and verbally defend his players and club as he sees fit.
Arteta was involved in lengthy protests at the end of Tuesday's acrimonious draw with Newcastle – just as his players were surrounding the referee amid two late penalty appeals.
'I hear a lot of times that this team is the mirror of the coach, or the passion - I don't know,' Arteta said.
