Bottlers. Can’t score a penalty or hold on to two goal lead twice in a row.

Top 4 it is.

Arteta challenges players

It come after Mikel Arteta challenged his Arsenal players to become serial winners. Ahead of the game against West Ham, the Spaniard said: “You have to win a lot (before being among the best players in Europe),” Arteta explains. “They know that, they know to be at that level, they have to win. And after winning, you have to win again. After winning again, you have to win again and again and again. That’s it. That’s what these guys have been doing for such a long time.”

Arteta added: “That is the most beautiful thing in a football club, to have the opportunity actually to win things. That should bring excitement, that has to bring you alive because it’s there and ‘now I want it’. And it’s now how much you want it.

“I have full trust in them (Arsenal players), and they have given me every reason to believe that they are ready to do that and that when an opportunity comes they are going to take it.”
