Mikel Arteta was keen to look at the bigger picture after we suffered our first home defeat of the season on Thursday evening.
Despite dominating for most of the match, and setting a new Premier League record for most touches in the opposition penalty box without scoring (77), we fell to a 2-0 reverse to West Ham United at Emirates Stadium.
The result leaves us in second place in the Premier League, exactly halfway through the season, two points behind leaders Liverpool, and the boss reiterated that there is plenty to fight for in the second half of the campaign.
