The way to do it is to construct the arrows as a list of Arrow objects 
and then include these as an Epilog option to the Plot function. For 
example:

f[x_] := 1 - x
g[x_] := 0.25 (2 x + 1)

myArrows =
      Table[Arrow[{{x, f[x]}, {x + 0.1, g[x + 0.1]}}], {x, 0, 1, 0.1}];

Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> Black,
      PlotRange -> {{0, 1.1}, {0, 1.1}}, AspectRatio -> Automatic,
      Epilog -> {Red, myArrows}]
