Arsenal had a combination of poor finishing and good keeping from Alisson Becker. Now the team has just one win in seven matches across all competitions. Arteta was asked what was ailing his team, and he is concerned they risk falling into a mental slump if they don’t refocus quickly.

“Probably it has (become a psychological issue). Especially after today, more than it was against Fulham or West Ham before that. That’s why I think we need to reset”, said the manager.
Arsenal will have a 13-day break before their next match, against Crystal Palace, and Arteta believes that this time off could be valuable to get back on track. “This break is good. It comes in a good time. When things are going well they jump on the train. Now things are difficult, let’s see where they stand”, added Arteta.
