Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants “a fraction more” from his squad after a stumbling start in the Premier League.
The Gunners have had a dismal start to the season and sit 11 points behind league leaders Chelsea, having won just two of their first eight Premier League games.
“Look, we have lost only one game in the Premier League but we have not enough points with what we produced,” Wenger told reporters.
“Top-level performance is to make the maximum with your potential and sometimes in games you need a fraction more.
“That’s what we want to do – give a fraction more to be really efficient in what we do.”
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, who has been in good form this season, agreed with his boss and said that the team is lacking that little bit of extra concentration.
“In big games this season, we have been so close. In the Manchester City game, we were close to winning and then a lack of concentration [happens] and we draw the game.
“If we had won one of those … but we are confident we can do it. We played Tottenham at home as well and feel we should have won the game, we dominated possession. If we can just concentrate a little bit more defensively, then we are confident we can do that.”
