Eidevall: "Not decided yet"

Arsenal missed the group stage in the Champions League last year. Now the big club is in trouble again – after the loss against Häcken. But nothing has been decided tonight, says coach Jonas Eidevall.

Last year, the big club fell already in the first qualifying round of the Champions League.

This year, the Swedish team got past that hurdle – but has now fallen behind in the next step instead.

Despite a relatively large advantage over Häcken, it was the Hisings team that won the first meeting 1–0.

But it won't be decided until the return match in London next week, emphasizes Arsenal coach Jonas Eidevall.

It's halftime. Nothing has been decided tonight, so we're taking the match to London now, he says.

Arsenal has a tough task ahead when the league starts up again at the weekend – a home game against Manchester City.

In that situation, the lack of effectiveness in the attacking game is a small worry, admits Eidevall.

Of course, it's a disappointment that we're not more effective and of course, it's a result we didn't want to have, he says.

But I'm more disappointed over the result than over the performance. We knew it would be a tough place to play on.
