Asked if his manne still have the will to fight on, the Spaniard says: “The disappointment was across the club, everybody. Our supporters, our people, our staff, our players.
“It was a big night and we didn’t produce the performance that we wanted and we deserved to lose the game.”
He adds: “But our way to win has been consistent, the whole season has been playing well, playing better than the opponent and dominant and we have to do that to play Chelsea.”
Heads up and onto the next. pic.twitter.com/59uaIyn0DQ

Chelsea arrive at the Emirates Stadium in 12th place and 36 points off their hosts.
Blues caretaker coach Frank Lampard is expecting a backlash and could turn to former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to damage his ex-club’s title hopes even more.

He says: I think they're very much in the hunt still to win the Premier League. If they’re wounded slightly that could give a big reaction…
“If we can make things difficult for them, it could feel different.”
