Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits they needed to do more in attack after defeat at home to Manchester City on Sunday.
City won 1-0 in London thanks to an early Raheem Sterling winner.
Arteta lamented: "For me, the biggest issue was that when we found some big openings against them which is really difficult to do with their organisation, I think we did that many times today, but the final pass and final product wasn't good enough, so obviously you're not going to hit the target.
"But the attacking threat you create is not only with the shots you create, but also the situations you're able to create. That leads to results."
The manager also said: "I cannot take us to the other side which is playing worse and expecting more. I'm a big believer that the better we play and assert ourselves in the game, we will get more points, but this is very tricky. Our job is as much as possible to propose games where we deserve to win. Whether or not you get that result sometimes is difficult to control, but I think the team has made more than what we have."
