Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has blamed lack of freshness and quality among his players for their failure to beat Crystal Palace on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

The Gunners, who had been on a three-game winning streak in the Premier League, were held to a goalless draw by Palace at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

Both teams created many chances in the game, but none was converted. The draw left Arteta\u2019s side 11th in the table while Palace stay 13th.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have played seven matches in the space of five weeks, and the manager thinks his forwards need some rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome freshness and quality in the final third was missing. We had a lot of entries into the final third but no big, big chances,\u201d said Arteta.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to see a win today and to score a few goals but we were fatigued. We gave the ball away, but I cannot fault the spirit. It wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the plan we just didn\u2019t have the execution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created a lot of situations against the low block but lacked the final quality. But we probably didn\u2019t do enough to win the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are playing a lot of games, and you can see fatigue is paying a price, many players aren\u2019t fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal will be playing again next Monday against Newcastle United in the Premier League. That is, four days after.<\/p>\n
