Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists his team doesn't lack physical presence.
After the manner of their 4-1 thumping at Manchester City last week, questions have been raised about Arsenal's lack of power across their spine.
"It's a great question," Arteta said when asked if they need to add a greater physical presence to their squad.
"Playing with David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling 100 points. Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Pedro six titles. Incredible players.
"They step up. They love what they do. They create the right chemistry."
Raising his arm in the air, Arteta continued: "If you have them and they're two metres tall like this? Even better. Are they good enough technically? Are they sharp enough? Can they turn?
"The perfect machine, that's what we all want. Give me 24 of those. We are all looking for the perfect squad and hopefully we can find it. It takes time. You don't do it in one, two or three. That's seven years' worth of process. You cannot copy and paste."
