Wenger: 'The more I speak about it, the more there is a problem'

"It was a big disappointment and a very disappointing result. We were desperate for the three points. Fulham played and credit to them, they were the better side in the first 20 minutes and created more movement.

"After we slowly took over, but we lacked always a bit of sharpness to take our chances and our passes weren't quick enough to give them real problems. I don't think it was a 0-0 game because both sides created chances, but we had weaknesses both defensively and offensively.

"There is a big desire to do well and to make sure we score, but it is not there at the moment. Our goalscoring record has dried out over more than five games.

"There are plenty of reasons - one of them is certainly psychological, but overall it's hard to assess what is tactical, what is technical and what is psychological. The more I speak about it, the more there is a problem. I don't think it's about us only trying to score the perfect goal - the perfect goal is only when the ball touches the net."

"Today's result doesn't help and this is a big blow to us, but it is difficult to assess. However, problems don't last forever and at some stage we will score goals because we have quality and we continue to fight."
