Mikel Arteta said the team got what they deserved on Monday night away to Newcastle.
Afterwards, the manager faced the media and fielded questions on the defeat, the performance and our chances of still finishing in the top four.
Here’s what he said…
on the defeat…
It’s a really tough night. Normally, I can sit here and I can defend, but what we’ve done today, it’s not easy. Newcastle were one hundred times better than us in every department from the beginning to the end and it’s hard to accept to accept, but you have to accept it and that’s the reality of what happened today on that pitch.
