Wenger disappointed with Arsenal display

Arsene Wenger has admitted that he was disappointed with Arsenal's performance away at Queens Park Rangers earlier today.

Despite a goal from winger Theo Walcott, the Gunners slipped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of their hosts.

Looking back at the match, Wenger has conceded that QPR's pre-match plans proved to be his side's undoing.

"It is a disappointing performance. They defended well and I felt we played football without hurting them and we made defensive mistakes that we could not afford to on top of that," the Frenchman told BBC Sport.

"They had a plan where they left us with the ball and it is more suited to playing against the bigger teams.

"I felt that if you had the choice you want a better pitch but I don't think it explains why we were beaten in too many domains."

Victory for North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur against Swansea City tomorrow will see Arsenal slip a place in the Premier League table.
