Some Arsenal supporters were enraged by Mikel Arteta's remarks about the club's performance over two legs during the draw and eventual exit from the Europa League at the hands of Villarreal.
Speaking after a 0-0 draw with Unai Emery's side, the Spaniard said that his team played well enough over both legs to advance against the La Liga side.
The Gunners were made to look remarkably ordinary by an amazingly organized Villarreal side, who limited the north London outfit to just two shots on goal in 14 attempts.
After the Yellow Submarine took the first leg 2-1 thanks to goals from Trigueros Munoz and Raul Albiol, it was enough to see the Spanish team through against the Reds.
Arteta commented on his team's results, saying, "I think over two legs and what happened today in the second half, we deserved to win the game."
It's important, in my opinion, to have everyone available at their best during the decisive moment. And there are too many people attempting to compete but failing miserably.”
