Mikel Arteta has expressed disappointment with his team's lack of precision in the final third, as Arsenal drew 0-0 with Liverpool at Emirates Stadium. The match was a tense and frustrating one for the Gunners, who were unable to find a way past the Reds' well-organized defense.
Arteta felt that his side's failure to create clear-cut chances was a major issue, stating that they "weren't precise" in their final ball movements. He also singled out some of his players for criticism, saying they "lost focus" at times and failed to execute their set pieces effectively.
The draw marked the end of Arsenal's four-game winning streak, and Arteta knows that his team must now regroup and refocus if they are to stay in contention for a top-four finish. For Liverpool, the result was a welcome three points on the road, with Jürgen Klopp's side now 10 points clear at the Premier League summit.
Despite the lack of goals, both teams showed impressive defensive solidity, with each goalkeeper producing an outstanding display. Lucas Digne and Trent Alexander-Arnold both had moments to impress, but it was ultimately a nil-nil result that left fans from both sides underwhelmed. As Arteta noted, "it's one of those days where the ball doesn't go in."

his team just didnt click today and u can see how frustrated he is 
precision is key in football and it looks like arsenal just lost focus for a bit 
but u gotta give them props for the defense, they were solid as stone 
lucas digne and trent alexander-arnold had some amazing moments out there 
it's one of those days where nothing goes right lol 
anyway, gotta see how arsenal regroups and refocuses now 
I feel like Mikel Arteta is being pretty harsh on his own players... I mean, 0-0 at home against Liverpool? That's not a bad result, you know! 
They've been on fire lately and to expect them to score every time would be crazy. It's all about fine-tuning their strategy and making those few percentage increases in precision that'll make the difference in the long run 
. Still, gotta respect Arteta's drive to get his team back on track - 4-game winning streak is a big deal! 
these goalless draws r gettin me crazy! i remember when man u used 2 draw with united all the time & everyone would freak out 
but lfc is different now, they're like a machine 
. And, btw, a four-game winning streak is no joke! You gotta expect some losses, especially in a league like the Premier League where everyone's gunning for you 
. Arteta needs to step up his game and get those players of his to perform 
. Arteta's right to be disappointed, but what's he gonna do about it? Just a bunch of whining from a frustrated boss 
. It's a shame, 'cause I was really excited for this game and I thought we were gonna come away with a win 
. Guess I'll just have to wait till next time... and hope they can sort themselves out 
. Four-game winning streak? That's cute 
. And as for Klopp, yeah he's getting some points for being Jürgen 
. But seriously though, 0-0 draw? What a thrilling match 
️
. I mean, I love watching Trent Alexander-Arnold out there 
️, but when the ball isn't going in, it's hard to get excited 
. Now, can Arsenal just figure out how to close out a win without being so... meh? 
. Arteta needs to figure out what's going wrong with those and sort him out pronto 
. And 4-game winning streak? More like 4-game mediocrity 
.
mikel arteta is so right though - precision is key! we cant just be relying on long balls and hoping for the best, gotta be more clinical with our finishing. and i feel like some of our players are getting too big for their boots atm... losing focus when it matters most is a major issue. 
. I think he's being way too harsh on his players tho 
. One game not going your way is crazy stressful 
, they'll bounce back from this 
. The only thing more frustrating is having to regroup and refocus after a four-game winning streak 
?
. sometimes that one little change can make all the difference 
. anyway, 0-0's not always the worst thing 
... can't wait to see what they come up with next 
. Still, gotta wonder what happened to that winning streak - did they just get complacent or something? 
and now they're 10 points clear at the top. Guess it's back to the drawing board for Arsenal, but I still got hope...
