Hello and welcome to HYBR1D Powered by chinkseyMEDIA.

00:00:05.179 --> 00:00:09.400
We're back again for every word from Mikko

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:14.259
Arteta's post, Burnley Presser. Victor Jocarez

00:00:14.259 --> 00:00:16.980
and Declan Rice helped us claim all three points

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:20.120
against Burnley at Turf Moor, and after the victory,

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.600
Mikel Arteta spoke to the press. Our manager

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.980
delivered an update on Jocarez and Martin Zubimendi,

00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:29.859
as well as praising our performance to get a

00:00:29.859 --> 00:00:34.439
ninth straight win in all competitions. On his

00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.530
thoughts on the performance and the result. Very

00:00:37.530 --> 00:00:40.909
happy. It's a really tough place to come. They've

00:00:40.909 --> 00:00:44.250
lost once here in 18 months against Liverpool

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:46.990
with the last kick of the game from a penalty.

00:00:47.289 --> 00:00:49.829
I think we started the game exceptionally well.

00:00:49.969 --> 00:00:52.250
I think the first half was one of the best that

00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:55.329
we've played. Scored two goals, generated another

00:00:55.329 --> 00:00:58.869
two or three big chances and conceded nothing.

00:01:00.429 --> 00:01:03.009
That was a platform because in the second half,

00:01:03.149 --> 00:01:05.310
we dropped the standards, especially with the

00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:08.209
ball and our intentions to take more risks and

00:01:08.209 --> 00:01:11.430
play forwards. But again, defensively, we were

00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:13.849
exceptional until the point of the free kick.

00:01:14.109 --> 00:01:16.750
We were a bit lucky that it hit the post and

00:01:16.750 --> 00:01:19.989
we kept the clean sheet. Yeah, I mean, obviously

00:01:19.989 --> 00:01:22.569
after the first two goals, the game was over,

00:01:22.670 --> 00:01:25.010
but it was just a matter of kind of seeing the

00:01:25.010 --> 00:01:26.989
game out. As I've mentioned in many... press

00:01:26.989 --> 00:01:30.349
conferences we've just generally been doing enough

00:01:30.349 --> 00:01:33.650
to win games you know i feel like there's gears

00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:36.469
that we can go up but um it's a long hard season

00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:39.409
it's a marathon and we live to fight another

00:01:39.409 --> 00:01:42.510
day so that's nine straight wins on to slavia

00:01:42.510 --> 00:01:47.000
prague on tuesday afternoon on the reason for

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.120
Victor going off at half -time. I think it was

00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.579
one of the best games that he's played. I think

00:01:52.579 --> 00:01:55.420
overall his performance was exceptional. He was

00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:58.060
part of the first goal. We had to take him off

00:01:58.060 --> 00:02:00.760
because he was feeling a little niggle, muscular,

00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.500
so we'll have to wait and see. The old case of

00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:07.439
we'll have to wait and see, I guess. Well, that's

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.860
an interesting one, though, because it gives

00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:15.569
Mikel Moreno an opportunity to play. You know,

00:02:15.629 --> 00:02:18.069
it could just be giving him an opportunity to

00:02:18.069 --> 00:02:20.270
play. So using the kind of niggle as an excuse.

00:02:21.509 --> 00:02:24.289
Marino might play on Tuesday. Victor be arrested

00:02:24.289 --> 00:02:27.629
for Sunderland on the weekend, which is another

00:02:27.629 --> 00:02:30.770
tough game. So, yeah, let's see how it goes.

00:02:31.590 --> 00:02:34.610
Obviously, it's good that Victor's got his third

00:02:34.610 --> 00:02:38.729
goal in recent games and his sixth goal. On the

00:02:38.729 --> 00:02:42.199
reason for Zubimendi being... On the reason for

00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.580
Zubimendi being substituted off Zubi as well,

00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:48.960
he asked to be subbed, so we'll have to wait

00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:53.599
and see. Okay, so yeah, obviously it looks like

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.639
Mikel Marino's almost certainly going to play

00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.639
from the start on Tuesday due to circumstances,

00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:03.740
whether it be in midfield for Zubimendi or up

00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:09.530
front for Victor Jokovic, I mean, or not. But

00:03:09.530 --> 00:03:11.689
it seems that we've got a few injury doubts.

00:03:11.870 --> 00:03:14.909
So, you know, that Sunderland game is a vital

00:03:14.909 --> 00:03:17.710
game. It's vital that we get that win. I'd rather

00:03:17.710 --> 00:03:20.550
not win against Slavia Prague if it meant we

00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:23.729
won against Sunderland. So, yeah, if they're

00:03:23.729 --> 00:03:26.430
doubtful or if there's any risk, just rest them

00:03:26.430 --> 00:03:28.509
for Sunderland. There's players that can come

00:03:28.509 --> 00:03:32.689
in and do a more than able job in their place.

00:03:34.009 --> 00:03:36.990
On creating a good amount of chances from open

00:03:36.990 --> 00:03:40.919
play. In midweek, we did exactly the same. At

00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.479
the end, against teams that want to defend in

00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.419
that low block, it is more difficult. And Burnley,

00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:49.560
credit to them because they are very, very well

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.280
organised and the big teams have struggled big

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.159
time to generate chances and opportunities against

00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.919
them. We certainly did that, especially in the

00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.439
first half. I'm happy with that, but there's

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.379
still a lot of things to improve. Well, I mean,

00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:08.530
they haven't played many big... teams this season

00:04:08.530 --> 00:04:11.389
but the ones that spring to mind are ourselves

00:04:11.389 --> 00:04:15.370
Manchester United Manchester City and Liverpool

00:04:15.370 --> 00:04:19.470
and there's only one result in common they've

00:04:19.470 --> 00:04:22.029
all beaten Burnley it's just the only thing I

00:04:22.029 --> 00:04:25.430
know Mikel alluded to Burnley's very good impregnable

00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:28.160
home record but who have they played They did

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.660
play Liverpool and they lost that. They lost

00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:33.899
to the two Manchester sides away from home to

00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:36.519
Manchester City comprehensively. And it seemed

00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.019
like today we kind of coasted through the game

00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:44.040
in the hole. But yeah, it's good that we got

00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:45.939
the three points. That's the main thing. Another

00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:49.199
clean sheet. And yeah, once again, we look forward

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.480
to Tuesday. On the challenge of playing at Turf

00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.220
Moor, we have been discussing this season the

00:04:56.220 --> 00:04:58.399
games that we have struggled or dropped points

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.720
in, especially last season. We knew the challenge

00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.839
today and the level that we're going to have

00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.399
to show to beat them because they have the spirit

00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.060
and this belief to get results here at home.

00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:12.839
And you could feel that. So what we've done,

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.860
big credit to the boys. I mean, to be fair, without

00:05:16.860 --> 00:05:20.100
being too overconfident, I felt if we had the

00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:21.939
right attitude, we was always going to win this

00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:25.399
game, whether it be it take us 60, 70 minutes

00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.399
to break them down or whether it be we get an

00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.819
early goal and then kill it off with a second

00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:31.720
in the first half, which is what we did today.

00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.899
On Jokeres' play, everything, his high press,

00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:40.459
his position and his touches, his threading behind.

00:05:41.069 --> 00:05:43.790
the way he linked play, the way he got us from

00:05:43.790 --> 00:05:46.550
this situation to transition moments. I think

00:05:46.550 --> 00:05:49.149
he was in a really good moment. It's a shame

00:05:49.149 --> 00:05:51.910
that he felt something. Yeah, it is a shame indeed,

00:05:52.009 --> 00:05:54.569
because obviously he would have liked to have

00:05:54.569 --> 00:05:56.709
got more than the one goal that he did get in

00:05:56.709 --> 00:06:01.670
the first half. However, it probably is arguably

00:06:01.670 --> 00:06:04.269
his best performance in an Arsenal shirt to date.

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.360
So I feel like since the Newcastle game, he's

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.360
definitely improved. And there was a few games

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.339
which he played in, which he played well, but

00:06:12.339 --> 00:06:14.540
didn't get on the score sheet. Today, he did

00:06:14.540 --> 00:06:18.120
both. So hopefully he can get a few more goals

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.259
before the international break. And then Kai

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:23.639
Havertz comes back into contention. So it's looking

00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.100
really, really good on that striking front for

00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:30.680
us. on conceding just one shot on target in four

00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.959
games. I think, again, the spirit is in action

00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.819
at the end. After a corner from Declan, that

00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:39.279
Ethan doesn't win the duel there, and you see

00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.319
10 players sprinting 80 metres. I mean, we play

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.740
with that desire, with that focus, with that

00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:48.920
discipline. We'll win a lot of games. We will

00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.379
win a lot of games. You know, we just need to

00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:55.319
guard ourselves against complacency. If we do

00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.420
that, we should win the next two games next week

00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:01.639
against Slavia Prague on Tuesday afternoon at

00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.459
5 .45 and against Sunderland on the weekend.

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.939
That's going to be a real tough game. But if

00:07:07.939 --> 00:07:10.939
we can win those two games, it takes us up to

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:14.519
11 wins on this trot. And then we take on the

00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.959
old enemy in Tottenham Hotspur.
