Arteta - We need to practice and take more risks

It was another frustrating night on Monday as we lost at Everton, despite creating a host of chances.

Mikel Arteta freely admits we need to improve our attacking game - so how do we do that?

"Practice it more and encourage the players to take more risks, put the ball more often in the box when we have the opportunity to have more bodies there and start to score the big chances that we have, like the game against Everton," he said.

"It’s always a combination, who creates the chances for [the forwards], it’s themselves, it’s the team, it’s the collective capacity for the team to arrive better in conditions in the final third, it’s the numbers in the box, we can look at everything, but the reality is that we need more goals.
