Arsene Wenger felt his side’s lack of ‘physical resources’ and the poor state of the Old Trafford pitch were to blame for his side’s dreadful performance in the 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester United on Saturdsay.
Although without a host of first team squad members, Arsenal played a competitive starting eleven in the fifth round FA Cup clash but were overrun from the first minute.
Wenger was at a loss to explain the depravity of performance, but felt the pitch was a mitigating factor.
“It is difficult to find any positives from the performance, apart from the fact we do not have any more injuries,” Wenger said. “Even before the sending off we never looked like we could come back.
“It was difficult. We did not seem the have the physical resources that were needed.
“We were not up to our level. We need to pick ourselves up quickly because we have a massive game on Wednesday and need to be at our best against Milan.
“The groundsman had as bad a day as us. You will see us in a different shape when we come back and a on different pitch.
“The pitch is a disgrace. You have players worth £20-25million and you cannot play a pass without it bouncing”
RED ARMY RANTS - No Mr Wenger your team were shit, simple as that.
