Arsenal's head coach, Mikel Arteta, commented on his team's defeat against Liverpool (0-2) in the FA Cup's Round of 32.

"Well the performance was there and the amount of chances too. We just have to win the game, but we lost it and we are not capitalising. To win games we need to capitalise.

When you are better than the best team in Europe and you generate that amount of chances...I have not seen a team do it against them like we have done it. It is not enough. The reality is, it is not enough.

Listen [do I say] play worse than Liverpool, be worse and we will win the game. When my team plays with this confidence what can I do? I am still behind them 100%. It is what it is and we have to continue to play the same way and be more efficient." Arteta said for BBC.

Despite Arsenal's dominance in the first half, they failed to convert numerous opportunities. Liverpool had their first shot on target only in the 64th minute but secured victory through a Yakubu Kiwomya own goal and a precise strike by Luis Diaz late in the game.
