Mikel Arteta: Arsenal “on right path” after FA Cup win
Arsenal posted over Portsmouth in FA Cup action at Fratton Park on Monday, easing into the quarterfinals.
Manager Mikel and veteran are happy with the progress but continue to plead for patience with the process.
“I’m really enjoying working with this group of players. It’s a process. I know everything has to be today or yesterday but in football it doesn’t happen like this. I’m seeing a lot of things I’m happy with but there is a lot of room to improve.”

It would be a major boon for Arsenal to collect a trophy so early in the Arteta era. The Gunners have claimed 13 FA Cups, more than anyone else in England. Manchester United is second with 12.
“There is a long way to go,” Arteta said. “But we’re on the right path. We’ll see what happens in the draw. We’ll keep going because we love this competition.”
Arsenal leader Luiz said the club is on the right track, especially given the fine performances from young players like and .
The teens were joined by fellow youngsters , , , and in the Starting XI, and 22-year-old came off the bench.
Wayne is still a Manchester United fan, even if he’ll be doing his best to ensure they suffer on Thursday.
Rooney captains Derby County, who hosts that other club he captained in an FA Cup fifth round tie at Pride Park.
“I love the club,” said Rooney (). “It’s a team I want to do well, I want to win but for this 90 minutes, 120 minutes I want them to lose to try and go through.”
Rooney says he expects a raucous home crowd, and that the occasion is massive for everyone involved with the club. While he’s had bigger occasions, earning a quarterfinal berth by upsetting Manchester United would be huge.
“I’ve come here as a Manchester United player in the FA Cup and I know what it means to the fans, the players, the staff to have Manchester United come in,” he said. “It’s a big day for a football club, and a big challenge.”
Rooney admitted that he liked Derby County’s odds when the draw was first made.
“That we had a chance,” he said. “At the time Manchester United weren’t in the greatest of form but they’ve picked up over the last few weeks.”
That was before United added . There’s no guarantee the Portuguese will feature, given Sunday’s Manchester Derby. That’s another reason to believe a full-blooded Derby might just trip up the favored and seemingly second-choice visitors.
Everton manager has been charged with improper conduct at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Ancelotti was shown a red card during an on-field, post-match argument with referee Chris Kavanagh after a controversial VAR ruling denied Everton a stoppage-time winner.
“I didn’t disrespect the referee,” . “He knows this. But if I have to be banned, I will go to the stands at Stamford Bridge. It’s not a big problem, honestly.”
Everton’s looked to have won the match when his shot was put into the United goal by , but VAR pulled the goal off the board.
Everton’s remained prone on the pitch after De Gea saved his shot, and moved his feet out of the way to allow Calvert-Lewin’s rebound effort to slide inside the near post.
The FA’s statement says his “” is in question.
Arsenal clinched the first spot in the quarterfinals of the 2020 FA Cup with a 2-0 victory over Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Monday.
and scored for the Gunners, whose 13 tournament titles are the most in the history of the competition.
1. Gunners steady despite Europa ouster: Arsenal’s home disappointment to Olympiacos in the Europa League last week might’ve been its only hope of Champions League football. There was plenty of focus on how the Gunners would react, even given substandard competition, and Mikel ‘s men did well enough. Seventy-five percent of the ball and only one big chance allowed show a real professional win, even if their attackers’ finishing deprived them of a blowout score line.
2. Pablo Mari makes solid first impression: Arsenal’s January addition took some time to get up to speed because Flamengo was out-of-season when he arrived from Brazil. The towering former Man City center back didn’t have a ton to do and was credited with 100 touches, five clearances, three blocks, 89 percent passing, and a quality 12-of-16 connection on long balls. Promising, albeit against a League One side.
3. Torreira injured: needed to be removed from the match with a lowe leg injury after tangling legs with Pompey’s James Bolton. A trainer was shown holding his ankle in place and took his place, though reports said he did not require a hospital visit. Torreira has played in all but three of Arsenal’s Premier League matches this season.
Man of the Match: Martinelli was clever and Mari’s strong debut adds sentimentality to the shout, but Sokratis was probably the Gunners’ top player.
Arsenal’s drove the end line to cut back for Eddie Nketiah but the chance resulted in a corner.
The Gunners went ahead when crossed into the traffic from the right flank and Sokratis burst onto the ball to smash home.
Pompey had some good moments in the latter stages of the first half, and would’ve been content to be down one.
Arsenal made it 2-0 with the help of some poor defending, Nketiah running onto a cross and keeping his cool as the ball bobbled in traffic.
explained his side of the story after for a gambling breach.
Sturridge was also fined nearly $200,000 for providing his brother with “inside information” regarding a possible summer transfer to Sevilla.
The player ended up going to Trabzonspor in Turkey, where he scored seven goals with four assists in 16 appearances before canceling his contract due to the suspension.
Sturridge is upset that the appeal panel has overturned a “highly qualified” original panel.
“I’m going to continue to campaign for professional footballers to be able to speak to their families and friends freely without the real risk of being charged.
“The betting companies and the practice and process of people being able to place bets on people moving clubs has to be stopped. Although the appeal panel has recognized that I hadn’t bet and nobody else had bet, I was still charged.”
On the surface, Sturridge has a point that no one should be able to bet on a player’s next destination. His brother broke rules by betting on his potential move and Sturridge originally last summer.
The 30-year-old has been since the termination, but teams will face quite a wait to add the talented but injury-hampered star.
