It's as simple as that.
That's not good enough.
I felt that they weren't decisive duels and we created quite dangerous situations, but defensively I think we were exposed many times and offensively we couldn't finish.
I think the first half was quite level and then after it came out in the second half, stronger than us and we were a bit unfortunate I think on the second goal and on the third goal, it was a penalty that killed our game.
I think they were sharper than us in the duels, but certainly in many decisive situations tonight, yes.
Look, it's not the right moment to go in any... I think we have to analyse well the game.
I think we had a lot of the ball, we had a lot of possession.
If we had won all the second ball, we would not have so much possession.
I think we won many second balls as well, but they were, in the decisive duels, I think they were stronger, yes, like especially Benteke tonight.
But why do you think you were unable to change things?
I just told you.
I told you they want more decisive duels than us.
It's damaging of course and on that front of course that is what is the most difficult for us tonight.
Of course it's a difficult defeat but on top of that it has consequences on our chances to be in the top four.
You cannot understand that our fans are very unhappy.
I think we come here with the hope that you will win the game.
No, every defeat is a big worry.
I've managed over 1,100 games for Arsenal Football Club and we are not used to losing like that, and of course it's a big worry.
Yeah, unfortunately at the moment it is like that and we have to respond very quickly and not accept it.
