Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insists Bernd Leno is wrong in his criticism of his teammates.
The Gunners go into this weekend down in 15th in the Premier League table, but they were at least able to stop the rot of recent defeats with a 1-1 draw against Southampton in midweek.
“I take full responsibility because at the end of the day I pick the players that have to be on the pitch and I have to able to try and transmit to them and get themselves in a state of mind that they can control themselves,” Arteta said ahead of Saturday’s trip to Everton. “Unfortunately in football everything can go so quick and emotions take a big part.
“But I want the players to play with that freedom and take the pressure off them in this moment because it is really needed.
“That, in my opinion, is when you get the best out of them.”
