Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits his players need to be stronger mentally after defeat at Manchester City.

Emery was pushed about the mental strength of his team after the 3-1 loss.

He said, "When you are on the pitch, playing one team and in general they are better, the players feel that and we need to also be stronger little-by-little and when we can feel stronger with the ball, without the ball and together that our confidence is coming.

"Also the mentality is coming. But I think our players have mentality. But also, when we are worse than the opposition, we feel that and it's negative on the pitch. For example, I said to you, there are good things with some players.

"I think we have players with a good present and future, who need time, need to take experience and need to play matches like today and lose and struggle. I think we can be optimists, but with this result it's not easy."
