‘We just have to stop conceding sloppy goals’ – Aaron Ramsey frustrated after Arsenal lose two-goal lead against Boca Juniors

Aaron Ramsey has revealed his frustration with his Arsenal team-mates as defensive mistakes saw the Gunners lose a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Boca Juniors in the Emirates Cup.

Errors from Sebastien Squillaci and Johan Djourou allowed the visitors back into the game after goal from Robin van Persie and Ramsey had given the Gunners the advantage early in the second half.

The Welsh captain told ESPN: “We got a 2-0 lead then we conceded two sloppy goals from our point of view.

“We’re still in pre-season so it was a good workout for us all but we just have to stop conceding sloppy goals like we did today.”

However, the midfielder believes the time he has spent on the pitch in pre-season and towards the end of the campaign will help him and the team for the coming Premier League season.

Ramsey added: “I’ve played a lot of games for the first team and so has Jack Wilshere. So we do have a lot of experience between us but there’s a lot more to learn, not just for us but for the whole team as well. Hopefully we can do that and take it into the season.”

The Gunners will look to bounce back this year after a disappointing end to the last campaign which saw them go without a trophy, making it six years without silverware.

However Ramsey feels Arsene Wenger’s side will be as potent as ever and not just when there are lower expectations of the team.

He explained: “We just go about the game the same every time and play the way that we play.

“I think we’re dangerous from a lot of players on the pitch, so I don’t think that’s the only time when we’re dangerous.”

The midfielder also outlined his wish to force his way into the Arsenal first team as he looks to get his career back on track after missing a lot of playing time due to a broken leg, concluding: “Obviously I want to get into the starting 11 again and play in a lot more games and hopefully put in a lot of good performances as well.”
