Wenger: 'We never should have lost'

Last updated : 11 September 2005 By Chris Parry
"We never should have lost. We should have shown more determination. I feel that we had very good patches in the game - we could have won this game in the first 20 minutes with three clear chances but we did not take them.

"We missed our chances and we gave them presents for their two goals. We were good enough to win this game."


"I didn't dream that Chelsea would lose points against Sunderland today. What's more worrying is that we are going home with zero points and with the mistakes that we made at the back. That is not acceptable."


"Our problem is that we have to find much more stability at the back. I feel that we cannot afford any defeats at all. Our worry is not Chelsea, our worry is our results. We have the potential to be up there but we have to have a much stronger killing instinct than we had today.

"It is not good enough how we took our chances. We were not sharp enough and did not show penetration in the final third of the field."
