Aaron Ramsdale expressed his frustration at Arsenal's tactics as he claimed the Gunners' balls into the box played into Burnley's hands during 0-0 draw.
A win would have seen Mikel Arteta's side climb the table into the top four but Arsenal lacked attacking spark as Burnley held them to a lacklustre goalless stalemate at the Emirates.
Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale lamented his side's display as he criticised them for 'not taking the game' to Burnley.
'We didn't really take the game to them, I'll give credit to Burnley, they defended well,' Ramsdale told Arsenal.com.
'We put balls in the box and that's meat and drink to Burnley, so it's a difficult one.
'It's definitely a missed opportunity for three points and to gain places back in the league but I'll take the positive of a clean sheet, with the defending of the whole team. But definitely a frustrating day.
'It is down to [fatigue]. It's a difficult one to say because I'm not the one running about every three or four days like those lads have been doing, but with the quality we had on the pitch, we could have got more.
'We had most of the ball and we could have made more chances, but I can't fault any of the effort the lads have put in, defending or attacking wise, it was just a bit if quality we missed and also a few good saves from Popey [Nick Pope] as well.'
Arsenal now sit in sixth, two points behind Manchester United in fourth, but have the chance to recuperate with their next game not coming until February 10 against Wolves.

Arteta must leave Aubameyang to play the first line up’ otherwise arsenal will continue to be worse like that..

Need to start playing Martinelli as the No.9 and use the likes of Pantino or Azeez out wide. Martinelli is good in air and is wasted out wide with his predatory instincts.

Sorry, and your credentials are what exactly!!! Arteta has us playing much better defensively and now creating more chances only for Laca to be useless, like his bros Auba and Ozil after lucrative contracts.

There is no winning mentality in Arsenal and Arteta, the baby coach is technically deficient to bring changes to our games

The squad need competition that's all. Martinelli Lost his scoring form and no one to challenge him in the position. Saka is slowly down and no one to challenge him in position even if pepe is available ARTETA won't notice that. smith lowe is losing it and no player to step up. our midfield is collapse no player in the middle to change the game. let me start going because ARTETA IS JUST A RED CARD TO ARSENAL

Now the need to integrate Aubameyang in the first team is loud and clear
He can always turn around a corner. We should consider him for selection again when his heart problems get better.

Aaron, I understand your frustration, but you have to realize that we don’t have enough money to get reliable strikers in the form of our former players like Thierry Henry or Girreau who are goal poachers! I am sorry to tell you that our team (Arsenal) right now are not good enough to quality for the champions league! That’s the gospel truth bro! However, you are doing a fantastic job in goal for the team! Thank you very much for your efforts!COYGS!!!
Henry was a goal poacher? Visitors LOL[Crylaugh]

See, even Ramsdale thinks arteta’s tactics are stupid. I really don’t know what they were trying to accomplish Sunday.

Poor tactics. Too many unnecessary back pass even though they can push it to an opponent box. Lack of winning mentality.

Don’t think Aubameyang is the answer to our scoring issues. He’s not been sharp off late. We need a deadly striker

EPL/UCL/Europa/other tournament comes every year... some wins some loose players comes and goes some team qualifies some not But the passion should be the same the craze should be the same the pride should be the same the enthusiasm should be the same the Club should be the same

Lukaku talk about the club and Thomas T suspended for one match then resolved the issue behind door. I see another Ozil situation repeating itself. The kids are working extremely hard to impress the manager, club and the fans but the lack the experience and composure to deliver the result especially under pressure. Add some few experience players to the team.

so true… more than 10 corners, all high into the box and headed away by burnley… why not trying to play short!? also all the crosses from which maybe 5 percent arrived, indeed poor tactics.

we need team combination not individual,but if individual can score the goal that is bonus for the team.don't hold the ball to long get on passing to player who create chance.

Martinelli is holding the ball too much ..He must release the ball early in order to create good chances.
