I want people to take responsibility for their jobs Arteta asks for attitude

When Mikel Arteta stood in front of his Arsenal players 

for the first time on Friday, he told them he would be 

watching their attitudes while he sat in the stands at 

Goodison Park the following afternoon.

“I want people to take responsibility for their jobs and I 

want people who deliver passion and energy in the 

football club,” the Spaniard told reporters in his first 

press conference.

“Anyone who doesn't buy into this is not good enough 

for this environment or this culture.”

Arteta’s words were evidently taken on board by the 

Arsenal players, even though it was Freddie Ljungberg 

who was in charge, for the final time, at Goodison Park.
