Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will \u2018talk loudly\u2019 about VAR until situation improves<\/h3>\n

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists rival managers are behind him as he reiterated his views on referees and VAR following his outburst at the weekend. Anthony Gordon scored the only goal of the game at St James\u2019 Park on Saturday as the Gunners lost 1-0 to Newcastle in the Premier League. And Arteta was furious that Gordon\u2019s goal was allowed to stand despite VAR checking three separate issues.<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to the goal, Joe Willock was adjudged to have kept the ball in play by the corner flag before crossing the ball towards Joelinton. The Brazil international then appeared to shove Arsenal defender Gabriel in the back as he rose above his compatriot to head the ball down to Gordon. And the English winger turned the ball in, with VAR ruling he was not in an offside position.<\/p>\n

Arteta called the decision to allow the goal to stand \u201cembarrassing\u201d and \u201ca disgrace\u201d after the final whistle. Arsenal then released a statement on Sunday to back up their manager. And Arteta says it\u2019s not just his employers who are in support of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we are in those [manager] meetings, when we are all together, we all share the same feeling, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d the Spaniard said ahead of his side\u2019s Champions League clash with Sevilla on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cErrors are part of evolution. The trajectory is never going to be like this (gestures straight up). There are always going to be bumps in the road and these things are necessary to improve the game in the right way.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we have to talk loudly. If you have a problem and you put it in your drawer, the problem is in the drawer and it\u2019s going to stink at some point. If you have a problem, let\u2019s talk about it, try to improve it. That\u2019s what we are trying to do. Nothing else guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
