If you actually listen to the segment, both Arteta and Craig are correct. The problem is a lot of people won’t bother to actually watch the video and will just banter Arteta without any context about what he actually said. And how he very objectively just responded to a reporter’s question very matter of fact. Not to mention Shaka is spot on about Arsenal fans always looking for some excuse or conspiracy for why they dropped points nearly every match they do.
@Kwami357 For all the talk about Havertz and Jesus up top, something that I think doesn’t get enough attention is the likes of Rice, Odegaard, Partey, and Jorginho are all reluctant to shoot from distance. Even just outside the box. When top sides like Newcastle know that Arsenal’s CM’s won’t shoot, it allows them to just sit back in an organized bunker, defend facing up away from their own goal, and repel Arsenal’s predictable crosses into the box. Particularly for a team like Newcastle with giants in both their back line and center of the pitch.
Here he is again, giving his worthless opinion on everything in every video, looking for 👍 amd praise.. justbwish what you spoke about wasn't utter nonsense @Photosoflife
@@londonsfinest6070 As a Barca fan, keep trading your league and clubs for Arabs oil money and American owners just to be relevant 😂 yet still Arsenal can't even win conference league 😂 irr. elevant small club 😂
He answered the question from the reporter. He didn't bring it up. That said, he still answered the question. He should learn to just say, "Yeah, it's different, but no excuses."
He was the first to say the ball was flying everywhere. The reporter merely pressed in, pointing out that Arteta isn't the first manager to complain about the ball.
And how is that different from what he said. The ball is different but you have to adapt to it. What is news? You guys just creating unnecessary news good thing it doesnt get to someone like arteta.
I'v seen the match ball being changed during the course of a match, upon appeal by a team and or consesus by both. Was such raised by Arsenal or its just Arteta tryn to shed off the blame
I get that the ball is different, Arteta is right but this was the first leg of the semi final. Arsenal had plsyed 3 rounds with it and scored a bunch of goals. They had experience of it, nobody haf complained about it in 88 games this season. Newcastle had no dificulty with the same footballs. This us Arteta denying a bad performance
This man put is self in the worst predicament, after rice signing, it's down hill. We needed isak wirtz giumares and frimpong. These are the key signings
But they scored with it so why didn't they score..simple the challenge was not the ball is the final finish..dumb answers really skill beats old talk 😂
So number one the ball excuses are lame.. #2.. on Stevie and the spurs Game.. every other team u simplifying a win is a win...but Spurs beat your almighty Liverpool and now its the ref...anyone else click on ESPN too hear how sad these guys are?? EsPN should do a general poll and ask how many people look at their show because its good comedy 😂
As a Gooner, I admit the gaffer lost it with that embarrassing comment. He should have known that the media would crucify him for that. Own goal. It's not worth all this analysis though. Will not be listening to this
Truth. This on the heels on mentioning the community shield like it is a major trophy. He doesn't look like he has the winning mentality I once thought he had. Making Arsenal look more mediocre interview by interview.
@@JackReacher0125 Why is the communiity shield not a trophy sir? Who are the teams that play it? are they selected through a coin toss? Because in England it is not a cup doesnt mean it is a trophy, the bragging rights of defeating the champions is in itself a trophy but because its arsenal it is ridiculed. Just really funny cos other teams celebrate winning it.
Watch the full interview he started it. And before the match they’re notified he would have complained then. Arteta is starting to become an excuse manager like ETH
@@CircumNet Guardiola also complained about the ball and many coaches have complained about it. Arteta said the ball is different yes bu you have to adapt to it. Keep singing whatever you want it doesnt make it the truth. But if you are happy ride on.
People have serious issues with “comprehension “ how on earth did he use the ball as an excuse, did you all even watch the full interview? I just think that ESPN keeps creating controversy around Arsenal for clicks. Shamefull
He was the first to bring up the ball. Did YOU watch the interview? In response to the first question in this video he says "it's tricky that this ball flies a lot" - as if the other team wouldn't have dealt with the same issue, and yet they scored twice.
@@JackReacher0125 He clearly said his player should adjust better to the different ball, as an example of how he can "help his players get better". That's completely opposite of blaming it on the ball. Why do you willfully misinterpret it?
Mikel never said “we lost because of the ball” but ESPN is making it look like he said that. It’s shameful. The Interviewer made mention of the fact that other managers had complained about the ball. At this rate, Mikel should just answer yes/no to any question asked. These pundits are shameless. Why is he so hated?? Look at the outrageous decisions that consistently go against Arsenal, these pundits are the real problem because unconsciously, they are creating a bad impression of Arteta that affects the objectivity of match officials, it’s sad. These pundits same thing happened to Granit Shaka, why are they profiling Arteta? It’s just lazy journalism.
Huhh? You must be gas lighting. He was the first to bring up the ball. Did YOU watch the interview? In response to the first question in this video (wherein they reporter says nothing about the ball) he says "it's tricky that this ball flies a lot" - as if the other team wouldn't have dealt with the same issue, and yet they scored twice.
Arteta spoke about the ball before any journalist asked about it, he should never have mentioned it, it's the same for both teams, it didn't prevent Isak or Gordon from Scoring or the 11 times Arsenal scored in previous rounds, as the guys said he is just opening himself up to ridicule and with Arsenal there always seems to be some excuse.
he mentioned it as an example of the things that he as a coach can actually do to help his players with their finishing, which is what was asked. ffs, the video is right there.
@@agsprFFS take some comprehension classes. If you can't see that he brought up the different ball as an excuse, I have a pocket sized island to sell you for a billion dollars.
Arteta doesn’t want to accept that he wasted £60 million. That German giraffe is not a striker
The only system i saw him working in was Klopps false 9. Was hoping he would replace Firminho
Even worse, Arteta thought he could be a CM 😂😂
as long as havertz is the first option striker there, i sleep well every night knowing arsenal won't win anything 🤣🤣🤣
@@bobyy6557 Henry and havertz in the same breath?
Giraffe 😀😂😂
Bro thinks he's in Minecraft
Let's face it, Arteta talking about the ball to shield Kai Havertz from more criticism😂😂

@ we’ve never been in the conference league you bankrupt degenerates 😂
Why do you comment everywhere? Weirdo, get a life
Managers need to understand that making excuses for players for performances creates even more anger and hostility which backfires on the players
Truth.
Facts now people would see Arsenal as a team that uses a particular ball to perform
Did you guys even hear him say "you have to adapt"
They have used this ball all thru this cup competition, its seems it's only affected arsenal after losing the 1st leg
Keep in mind liverpool also lost but Arsenal fans are easier to bait than any other fanbase I guess
He answered the question from the reporter. He didn't bring it up. That said, he still answered the question. He should learn to just say, "Yeah, it's different, but no excuses."

Dan; "Shaka do you have friends??"
😅😅😅
He's leaving himself open to ridicule by *checks notes* answering a question in a way that was clearly not him making excuses?

Arteta s continually making excuses. If it's not the ball, it's the refs, if it's not them it's something else
Soon he gonna blame the fans!😅
This is a poor excuse of a manager
It's crazy how everytime Arteta is blaming something but himself or his players 🙄 😂😂
what's really crazy is that you think that's what's going on 🤦🏻♂️
He always takes responsibility. Never blames players publicly. You are just lapping up the narrative that the media propagates.
It's crazy how adult like you don't listen or read yourself..
Arsenal deserve a better coach they gave him a lot of money & chances
But they scored with it so why didn't they score..simple the challenge was not the ball is the final finish..dumb answers really skill beats old talk 😂

Was New Castle kicking a different ball at the same time? What a Joke.
It was an excuse is not he is making one
I play football , the difference in ball is very small
He is wrong …stop subscribing to this nonsense about ball
Arteta out .
Craig Burley could you let us know how Mikel taste?
Are they just acting dumb or they still don't know the question was asked to Arteta about the ball?

Don’t be simp for the ignorant mainstream media. I seriously doubt Arteta would want you to apologies for him regarding anything he says.
@@dan7972-k9mLol, it’s not the media! Complaining about the ball is just unacceptable. Much love to the boss, though.
As an Arsenal fan, Arteta is a classless, clueless dictator who never blames his own poor decision making for poor outcomes
Arteta has no honor. Arsenal are never ever second best in a match that they lost. Pathetic man.
Incorrect. He has many times
Admitted arsenal were second best in games they lose.
Arsenal will win nothing...boohoo..a round ball..
