Mikel Arteta has shared how his players reacted after their 2-2 draw against Chelsea, expressing his satisfaction with their dissatisfaction with the result.
Arsenal has been in excellent form this season and had aimed to secure a victory in the match. However, Chelsea started the game as the stronger side and held a 2-0 lead early in the second half.
Arteta’s team sprang to life towards the end of the fixture and managed to salvage a point, maintaining their unbeaten start to the season. Nevertheless, they were not content with the outcome, and Arteta found their reaction impressive.
Arteta said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘I really liked as well going into the dressing room and it’s really quiet, after drawing 2-2 with Chelsea and coming back from 2-0 down, because I know that they wanted more. That’s the positive.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Dropping two points against Chelsea might have been acceptable in the past, but this team aspires to achieve more, and that’s the mindset we’re striving for.
In our upcoming matches, we have high expectations and I have full confidence that the players can deliver if they perform effectively from the start of the game.
Nevertheless, we need to improve our starts in matches to secure wins and maintain our unbeaten run in the league.

Dropping two points might have been ACCEPTABLE in the past?
I really do despair with the way some of our fans belittle our past in order to make a very poor performance under MA have positive vibes!!
It’s a sad state Ken, how agendas and narratives by some attempt to rewrite the past to excuse the present.
Nothing new however, attempts to justify two 8th place finishes, justify our absence from European football competitions, early exits from cup competitions.
Wenger and Emery were held accountable, and rightly so, while Arteta had a free pass seemingly.
I just hoped for the same consistency and standards, but the goal posts have certainly been moved and continue to be.
Chelsea was by far the better for the first hour, as their decision to field a starting line up without a recognize striker paid off.
Maybe Arsenal should thank Sanchez and his many blunders to thank for aiding the comeback.
We had struggled to create any clear cut chances in the second half before Sanchez loss focus, I refused to join fans saying Sanchez gave the ball away, as Rice was actually behind the player that the ball was intended for. But Rice goal shifted the momentum completely.
I can see Chelsea making a bold bid for Ramsdale in January, if his poor treatment continues.
Is Ramsdale the only player you think he is being treated poorly what do you think the likes of Kiwior, Smith Rowe, Nelson,Elneny,Karl Hein, Vieira,Tomiyasu might be thinking should they also move out in January transfer window a team comprises of 20 to 25 players and each one of them has a role to play according to how the coach wants.
Naftali, If Ramsdale remain on the bench, Arsenal resolve will be tested in January, its really in a delicate balance, Management will be key here.
There are enough games for both goalies and at this point, there shouldn’t be any clear number one.
