hes never handled pressure well, when the going gets tough, arteta explodes, but rather than try and rectify that and find different solutions he throws a tantrum like a petulant child and blames absolutely everyone but himself.Arteta is also piling pressure on himself - he’s spent an absolute fortune and must know he needs to deliver a League title this year or next - he knows he’s up against it and he really isn’t handling the pressure. Things will get worse as the season goes on.
The club havent helped him here by releasing that statement, if they had kept out of it, he at least could have come out and apologised and said the heat of the moment got to me and having looked at it objectively i retract my remarks and will take whatever punishment that is handed out, he can no longer do that.
