Arteta rejects 'bottlers' label but accepts Arsenal must take criticism
Mikel Arteta said the word "bottlers" is not in his vocabulary and that Arsenal must take criticism "on the chin" after surrendering a 2-0 lead against the bottom side, Wolves, in midweek. With Manchester City facing Newcastle on Saturday night, the Premier League leaders could have their advantage over Pep Guardiola’s side cut to two points by the time they play at Tottenham on Sunday.
Arteta rejected the label, saying: "It’s not part of my vocabulary and I don’t see it like this because I don’t think anybody wants to do that as an intention. I wouldn’t use that word, but that’s me. That’s individual opinion, perspective.
