London: Arsene Wenger rued Arsenal's unusual lack of creativity as they were held to a goalless draw by Middlesbrough.


Speaking about the performance, Wenger said: “I think I have a frustrated face and I am frustrated. We had a lot of the ball but a lot of the ball in a modern game is not enough to win the game. I felt that with 75 per cent of the possession, we did not have our usual pace and not enough sharpness in our movement.



:The first 25 minutes were quite satisfying but Middlesbrough came back in the game with a break. In the end we could not do enough to win it but at least we were concentrating enough not to lose it.

“We could have lost the game in the first half, we lacked a bit of creativity.”

He said: “We always miss Cazorla. At home, from deep midfield into the final third, his pass is quick and accurate. We didn’t make enough from our set-pieces and crosses. S

“Someone with a bit more size and a physical presence could have helped.

“We are an offensive team and we didn’t manage to score, which is frustrating.”
