With 13 points from 12 games, Arsenal are off to their worst
start to a season in almost 40 years and the pressure is building on Spaniard
Arteta, who was brought in last season to turn around the North London club's
fortunes.
"I wouldn't say there's panic. I can see in training
the way they try and the energy they put in," Arteta said. "A team
that is struggling normally you don't see them play the way we were playing,
and the way they played against Tottenham Hotspur.
"But we lost the game, we gave the opponents a chance
and they scored and at this level it is all about winning football
matches."
Arsenal's Granit Xhaka was sent off early in the second half
before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored an own goal.
Scottish full back Kieran Tierney said the players had let
Arteta down.
"We are not showing the manager what we can do and how
much we believe in him," Tierney said. "Every game there are signs we
are doing a bit better but it is still not good enough.
"There are no excuses. There is nothing I can say that
will make people believe a positive thing is going to come out of this."
