Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says any words would be hollow after defeat to Liverpool.
The Gunners were thumped at home 3-0 on Saturday night.
The manager said, "Liverpool completely deserved to win the game, probably with a bigger margin. They were much better than us in every single department and we were extremely poor today. Basically when you don't do any of the basics right against this level of opponent, you don't even have a chance to compete. That's exactly what happened today.
"[Twelve defeats this season] is a poor return but every defeat is different. Each one hurts differently. The image that we showed today and the lack of clarity in what we wanted to get out from this game... we need to apologise to our people, to our fans. This standard is nowhere near what we want. I am fully responsible for that."
He added: "What we do is talk on the pitch. To talk now on the cameras and say we're going to do this or that, to try to find excuses because we don't have this player or the international break cost us, it's not good enough. It's time to talk on the pitch on Thursday."
