Wenger - We lacked sharpness

Arsene Wenger bemoaned Arsenal's
worst performance of the season as
they lost 1-0 at Norwich.
Grant Holt seized on a mistake from
Vito Mannone to give the Canaries the
lead inside 20 minutes and Chris
Hughton's held on with little difficulty
as the Gunners struggled to create a
chance.
The Arsenal manager refused to
condemn his players too strongly but
was clearly disappointed with their
Carrow Road efforts.
"Norwich had a good defensive
performance, were focused and
committed. We had a lot of the ball,
but did not create much with it, which
was a disappointing performance for
us," he said.
"I felt we lacked a bit of sharpness. We
missed what makes the success at the
top level, that is complete focus and
they were sharper than us.
"We do not blame anybody, [we] made
many mistakes today. We have to put
that performance behind us and
realise that is not good enough.
"The attitude of the team has been
excellent, but that was not at the level
of what we have produced until now, it
was the first time of the season we
were way below par.
"We have to come out with a difference
performance in the Champions League
game (against Schalke) on Wednesday
night."
