Manager Arsène Wenger has conceded that his team were found lacking today against Blackburn Rovers, the game ending in a goalless draw.

This, despite Rovers being reduced to ten men. Wenger said: "It was a frustrating performance because we had no pace in our game.

"Overall it was a flat performance with a lack of energy level, a lack of sharpness.

"It was quite a big concern to see what we have seen today.

"It is difficult to identify one special thing. I felt we started OK and after our game became flat.

"Very few players looked to have the resources to put the pace up in the game.

"Part of it is down to the fact that Blackburn defended well but I don't put the majority of reasons down to that.

"I feel it is more down to our poor offensive performance today.

"We had golden opportunities in the first half and the second half but when you don't take them it is not a coincidence."
