Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson has said that he was worried about manager, Mikel Arteta’s post-match interview after the Gunners’ Premier League 2-2 draw with Wolves on Wednesday.
Arteta watched as goals from Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapie ensured Arsenal got a point against Wolves.
The Spaniard had admitted at his post-match interview that his team didn’t perform well in the second half of the encounter.
However, Merson was not happy with Arteta’s comments after the game.
“I was quite shocked by Mikel Arteta’s post-match interview then. It is the first time, really, that I have seen him not majorly positive,” Merson said on Sky Sports.
“Usually, he comes out, “We have done this, we have done that”, and he will be saying, “Oh, we deserved it here, they deserved it here”.
“Instead of coming out saying, “We are five points clear, as long as we don’t get beaten by Manchester City, we win the league”, but it was not like that, though.
“I was a bit worried about that interview. You can only do so much for the team, and when you are watching that, something is missing. I can’t put my finger on it, but something is missing.”
