Arsene Wenger describes his team
as "defensively naïve" following the 2-1 loss against Manchester
United. The team were set back as Rooney upped his side's score after Kieran
Gibbs own goal. Olivier Giroud's late goal did nothing to save the eighth-placed
Gunners. Wenger said in a BBC report: "At the moment defensively we are a
bit naive. It's a game that we dominated for 80 per cent of the time and we
haven't dominated a game like that against Manchester United for a long time.
At the end of the day we were not efficient enough in the final third, or
defensively, and we made a mistake at the back which they took advantage of.
Once we were 1-0 down we had possession in the final third that they had to
defend. We missed a few opportunities in the second half, even in the final 20
minutes."
