Arteta on exiting the Emirates FA Cup

Mikel Arteta cut a frustrated figure after Lewis Grabban’s late goal consigned us to defeat at Nottingham Forest in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup.

Our manager spoke to the media after the match - you can read what he said below.

on his overriding emotion after the result…
I’m really disappointed with the performance, first of all - not with the attitude, but how much purpose we had and what determination we showed to change the game when it’s difficult to play against [them] and the way they play. [We needed] more drive, more hunger to win at any cost in every single action.
