“I can’t just understand why Arteta is benching such amazing player, they won’t go anywhere if he keeps benching him…At times, I wondered if he really learned anything from me”: Pep Guardiola slams Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for benching ONE player who’s one of the best in Premier League

The Gunners secured the lead with a powerful near-post finish from Gabriel Martinelli, who was located at the far post by the returning captain, Martin Odegaard.

Chelsea was able to regain parity in a mere ten minutes as a result of a mesmerising long-range effort from summer recruit Pedro Neto.

Leandro Trossard of Arsenal wasted a chance to secure the victory in the final seconds, as he attempted to connect with a William Saliba cross in futility. Nevertheless, the visitors were satisfied with a point.

In the aftermath, Arteta was dissatisfied with his players’ failure to maintain their advantage, as they had done so against Liverpool two weeks prior.

He stated to Sky Sports, “I believe we outperformed them. We were the superior team in numerous phases and situations throughout the game. However, I was extremely disappointed with the manner in which we conceded after taking the lead.” It was of such low quality. We reject it because it does not meet our standards.

‘We are extremely delighted, but ultimately, our objective is to secure the three points, which we failed to achieve. We were disorganised, and it is a second phase set piece. We are unable to reorganise with sufficient speed, and you cannot permit the situation to continue in this manner.

‘You require the calibre of Neto to accomplish this task; however, our standards were inadequate. The crew is collectively disappointed. I am extremely delighted of the team for their response. We desired the three points, but we were unsuccessful in obtaining them.

“You could observe that everything was proceeding smoothly; however, the objective remains to achieve victory.” We possess a distinct understanding of how the team can develop. We discover that we must implement a significant change due to the accumulation of issues.

‘My greatest apprehension is the physical strain required to ensure that athletes are at their peak performance for the full 90 minutes. With that in mind, I am certain that we will have a successful season.

The stalemate did neither team any real favours and has resulted in both of them being nine points behind leaders Liverpool with only 11 matches played.

Arteta responded, “There is nothing we can do about the nine-point gap to Liverpool.” I am hoping that the team will be completely endowed with physical capabilities following the international break.

“That they are available and in good health, as it has been a nightmare for the past eight weeks.”

‘Doubt after doubt, issue after issue, not only with the ones who are unable to play, but also with the ones who are able to play for only a few moments and are unable to play’.

The team’s desire and our level of desire are undeniable. Therefore, I am simply enquiring. It will eventually arrive. In order to achieve greater consistency, we simply require that from ourselves.

‘When the situation becomes unpleasant, exhibit your fangs and demonstrate your desire. It is exceedingly straightforward when Disneyland is involved. Everyone is standing beside you, complimenting your beauty.

I am most interested in observing individuals when the situation becomes challenging and sombre, and everyone is pondering it. I am perusing the area.

Arteta was further exacerbated by the fact that Declan Rice appeared to limp off on the 71st minute, and his England teammate Bukayo Saka was substituted after a hefty challenge from the man of the match, Marc Cucurella.

The Arsenal manager stated, “To be honest, they do not appear to be in the best of shape.” I am uncertain about the long-term implications, but they were both unable to complete the game, which is not a positive sign.
