Mikel Arteta has assured fans that despite a recent defeat to Manchester United, the future looks bright for Arsenal. The manager acknowledged that his team's performance was not up to par but maintained optimism about their prospects of success.
Arteta cited meetings he holds with players as an opportunity to bring them down from high expectations and remind them to enjoy the ride ahead. He believes that this mindset is crucial for achieving their goals, both domestically and in Europe.
In his view, past performances do not dictate future outcomes, particularly when it comes to a club like Arsenal, which has a history of success. The manager pointed out several recent successes, including wins in three consecutive away games in different competitions and being top of the Premier League.
By downplaying external pressures, Arteta encourages players to focus on living each moment with courage and conviction, which he expects will yield positive results.

. Mikel Arteta's spin on their recent defeat doesn't sit well with me. A defeat to Manchester United is a big deal, and just downplaying it as "not up to par" doesn't cut it. He needs to focus on fixing the underlying issues rather than just telling his players to "enjoy the ride". It's easy to say that past performances don't dictate future outcomes, but what about consistency? What about making progress? Just a few wins in different competitions and being top of the league isn't enough – it's the momentum and depth of that performance that matters. Can we have a more detailed plan from Arteta on how they're going to turn things around? 
! He's not letting the losses get him down and that's so important for a team's morale. I mean, we all know how quickly confidence can turn around in football... it's all about attitude, right? 
. but since arsenal's got history of coming back from tough spots, maybe this is exactly what they needed - someone to remind them it's just a game and enjoy the ride 
. and if arteta can keep that mindset going, i wouldn't be surprised if they make some serious waves in the premier league and europe this season 
.
. But I guess it's a solid strategy if it works! The fact that they're on top of the Premier League is definitely promising 
.
seriously though, i'm not buying it. i mean, they've been saying that for years and what do they have to show for it? 
the guy's just trying to sugarcoat things and keep the fans happy. "hey, don't worry about our performance, just enjoy the ride"... yeah, okay, buddy. meanwhile, we're over here watching them struggle on the pitch

According to ESPN's stats, Arsenal's home record is looking 
this season, with a 78% win rate in the Premier League! 
They're also 2nd in the Europa League with 13 points from 5 games. 
They've got some serious talent coming off the bench! 
Arsenal are 4th in shots per game (23.6), which is higher than last season's 3rd place finishers, Liverpool.
