Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was left frustrated by their 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
Oxlade-Chamberlain admits Arsenal were not at their best at Liverpool on Sunday.
"It's really disappointing for us," Oxlade-Chamberlain said. "I don't think we played that well today, but sometimes you need to win those games when you don't play well, especially away from home at a hard place at Anfield.
"Liverpool set the tempo in midfield. They closed down really well but we had to expect that. We saw it out until nearly half-time and it was a blow to go 1-0 down but we responded well.
"The manager said that if we came out well in the second half by building on the goal we got late on, that we'd have a good chance of winning the game.
"To be 2-1 up so late on, we're really disappointed we weren't able to see it out."
