Arsenal players demand extra training to turn dreadful form around, says Mikel Arteta

Arsenal host West Brom on Saturday in 10th place in the Premier League following last weekend's 2-0 defeat by Swansea at the Emirates Stadium.

The situation, not helped by another loss to Olympiacos in midweek, has led to huge frustration among Arsenal fans - and Arteta says the players feel it just as keenly.

"People are hurting, people are upset with themselves, the players are angry. I think that's a good thing.

It's not like players couldn't care less, they know what they need to do," he said. "At Arsenal you have a group of players who want to give 100 per cent and that makes things so much easier. I always see that in the dressing room. Always.

"You look at the players' faces, the disappointment, the hurt. They want to put it right. You've got players here demanding and wanting to do extra training. It's in themselves to work harder to put it right."
