A very unhappy looking Mikel Arteta may not have done a Jose Mourinho and thrown his players under the bus but he made it clear what cost Arsenal today against Brighton.
The Gunners took the lead through Nicolas Pepe and were on course for the win but a host of missed chances and sloppy defending cost the team once again.
Arteta also gave his view on Neal Maupay and Bernd Leno and whether the Brighton man was responsible for the German’s injury.
Watch the video from the BT Sports Twitter account, it is interesting.
"We have to try to lift the players. A lot of things they've done really well but we don't compete at this level. You cannot give the goals that we give away."
Mikel Arteta sums up his feelings following Arsenal's late defeat to Brighton…

It’s painful to loose 2 consecutive games
Very hard for us supporters to accept the results
#heartbroken
This is the same story over and over. Don’t do this, don’t do that. Don’t learn from the same mistakes..
There is a virus in this team and it’s not Vovid! The squad lack fight, passion and a determination win. The players are happy to turn up and play for a ridiculous wage. The money comes first and the badge comes second. If they were payed on performances we would see more heart and passion, guaranteed!!
