Arsenal vs Tottenham: What was said?
Arsenal started with David Raya in goal last time out, with Arteta deciding to leave Aaron Ramsdale on the bench.
The Gunners boss explained his decision and discussed whether the goalkeeper rotation will run consistently throughout the season.
He said: “It’s something that has historically been done like that, but I can’t have two players like that in one position and not play them.
“It’s like that. I’m a very young manager. I’ve been in this job for three and a half years and I have few regrets for what I did.
“One of them was that on two occasions I felt like after 60 minutes and 85 minutes, in two games, in that period, I was changing goalkeepers at that point. But I I didn’t do it. I didn’t have the courage to do it.
“But I’m able to take a winger off, or a striker, or bring a central defender into play to go to a back five and keep that result. We drew and I was so unhappy.
“Someone will do it, and maybe it will be *gasps*.” It’s strange? For what? Why not?
“We have all the qualities of another goalkeeper to do something when something happens and you want to change the momentum. Do it.”
