Arteta: The performance of conceding two goals in a row at the beginning is unacceptable, and all the responsibility lies with me

05, May 12th Arsenal drew 2-2 away with Liverpool. After the game, coach Arteta pointed out at a press conference that the team's performance at the start was "unacceptable" and he took all his responsibility.

Arteta said: "Our performance in the first half was not as good as we should. It was unacceptable to wake up after conceding the ball. We recovered the score, but it was unacceptable. I don't like the late reaction. What I want is action. Whether you can win the trophy or not, you must show your best self.

"We performed 20-25 minutes later, including the second half, exactly what I asked for. What are the impacts of the elimination of the Champions League in the mid-week? When I saw that the team could perform like this, I think it really takes a little fighting spirit, and the responsibility lies with me in the end, which is definitely my responsibility.

"This is not a player's problem, but about 'we'. No one here accepts the standard of starting the game."
