Arteta mentioned that the team lacked consistency in several areas, which prevented them from dominating the game. He also stated that when the team is not at its best, they need to be able to see off the game, but they were unable to do so, especially in the second half.

Arteta also acknowledged that the team's run of draws has hurt their title challenge this season. He mentioned that they have not been able to see off games for various reasons, and the margins have been too small. He also credited the opposition for some of their wins.

However, Arteta was pleased to see Leandro Trossard back on the scoresheet. He praised Trossard's consistency and ability to make a difference in the game at any moment.
