Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has disclosed why his side lost 5-1 to Liverpool on Saturday.
In an interview with BBC, Emery said: “In the second half we needed to stand up, to keep our position individually and collectively on the game.
“The two last goals, two penalties, it’s a lot for us.
“VAR is important – it’s coming next year, because it’s going to help the referees to take better decisions,”.
On the better performances within his squad, Emery singled out Maitland-Niles and Alex Iwobi for praise.
“There were some positives, Ainsley played as right winger and scored. Iwobi, after some matches not playing very well, today he played 90minutes with a good performance. But defensively we need to be stronger, to work.
“Our defensive moments in our box, it’s my responsibility,” he added.
