ARTETA REACTS
The Arsenal boss reveals there are some exits being lined up and he isn’t sure if anyone will come in.
But he was thrilled with his side’s performance.
They made some changes, as did we. But to score six goals away from and keep a clean sheet which we needed, I’m very happy.
We are all disappointed we haven’t won any of the two Premier League games but the attitude of the players was great and they are altogether.
