Mikel Arteta says Arsenal need “more from everybody” if they are going to end Man City’s domination of the Premier League.
The Gunners have finished second in the Premier League to City in both of the last two seasons and recorded their second ever highest points total of 89 in the last campaign.
But Arteta admits his side’s current levels will not be enough to win the title.
“114 points”! he joked when asked how many points his side will need to ensure they win the league.
“If we do that, we win the league for sure. This is the objective, from there we’ll see what we get.
“Earn the right to win it and have the biggest probability over the opponent. When we have difficulties that we are still better than the opponents. That’s really the objective.
“The message is clear, we need more from everybody.
“More from everybody including me. I need to raise the standards, I need to bring something I haven’t brought yet. Individually and collectively the same.
“The more we do that, the better the chance it’s going to be to win the Premier League. This is what we want basically. Just work every day with that excitement and understanding of the difficulty. And when those difficulties come, stay together and go through them efficiently.”
