It\u2019s something that we have to improve. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe conceded a couple of goals in the last minute. So it\u2019s something that we have to improve and focus on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arsenalinsider.com\/tag\/mikel-arteta\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mikel Arteta<\/a> will surely need to work on ensuring Arsenal are alert at all stages of the match, or his team run the risk of dropping big points.<\/p>\n<p>Ian Wright tells Mikel Arteta\u2019s Arsenal to be more \u2018ruthless\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, at the other end of the pitch, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arsenalinsider.com\/tag\/ian-wright\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ian Wright<\/a> has warned Arsenal that they must become more \u2018ruthless\u2019 in front of goal.<\/p>\n<p>Wright told <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/itvfootball\/status\/2003599956540559421\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ITV Football<\/a>: \u201cI think they\u2019re not taking their chances to be more relaxed in games. I think you\u2019ve got to take those chances; it\u2019s not easy, if it was, they would have done it no problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you\u2019ve got to be more ruthless, especially in the first half with Noni Madueke. I thought the goalkeeper\u2019s saves were good saves, but there were chances people should have been able to take. <\/p>\n<p>Then you get more comfortable in the game and feel more confident. Maybe you can then bring on other players to see out the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we don\u2019t seem to be doing that at the moment, and it\u2019s something we\u2019re going to have to learn to do if we\u2019re going to win the title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Join Our Newsletter <\/p>\n<p>Receive a digest of our best Arsenal content each week direct to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kepa Arrizabalaga has admitted that he is frustrated by Arsenal\u2019s inability to prevent goals late in the match&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367680,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[106423,403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-367679","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-kepa-arrizabalaga","9":"tag-soccer","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
