It wasn&#8217;t that long ago Arsenal suffered three consecutive losses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously at this stage in the season, when we&#8217;re fighting for what we&#8217;re fighting for, a point is never enough. Last week we should have finished 0-0 and we didn&#8217;t, we lost. This week at least we didn&#8217;t get complacent at the other end but we have to settle for a draw which is the second-best thing to a win I guess,&#8221; Eric Dier said afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think we created enough chances and our play wasn&#8217;t very fluid as it usually is and has become under the manager. I saw we had no shots on target again for two weeks in a row. It&#8217;s not just the forward players, we need to give them the ball in the right positions. We&#8217;re really disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not what we expect after the way we&#8217;ve been attacking and the amount of chances we&#8217;ve been creating and scoring. We&#8217;ve not been as flued in our play, not got in good positions and been sloppy in our play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know what&#8217;s at stake. I think in the last three games a lot changed and in the next three a lot can change. We need to focus on ourselves and try to win all of our games. Today is a hiccup but we have no time to feel sorry for ourselves. We have to go again next weekend. It&#8217;s still in our hands because we have to play [Arsenal].<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a lot of games to play before that. A lot can change. We have to stay in our bubble and try to figure out why we haven&#8217;t been fluid the last few games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/sky-vegas-free-spins-welcome-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sky Vegas welcome offer<\/a> (50 free spins and no deposit required)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-live-streaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Live stream today&#8217;s football<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham saw their Champions League dreams take another major hit following a goalless draw at Brentford this evening.
