温格说：“我们缺乏锐利度和流畅度”
亲爱的阿森纳支持者，
上周六我们展现了良好的精神状态，并且付出了努力，但是我们缺乏一定的锐利度和流畅度，这让我们在对方防守三区显得不够威胁。（BCW注：防守三区还是最后三十米区域，百度了一下也没找到，我更倾向于翻译为防守三区也就是我们的进攻一区）
我们确实创造了几次机会，但我们不能将他们转化为进球。桑德兰的防守自始至终都表现的非常好。当你和这样的球队比赛时，你必须要足够锋利，制造出一些不同凡响的东西，否则就变得非常困难。
我们没能赢球并不因为是前锋位置上的问题，我们也许还需要至少一个有创造力的球员，以改善我们在对方防守三区的准确性。我们的前锋没有太大的空间，所以必须由我们的中场来创造更多空间。
当然错过这样一个赢球的机会始终是令人沮丧的，特别是当你获得更多的控球权，却只拿到一分。你必须接受这个结果并解决一些细节问题，因为你在一个赛季中总会有不同丢分的情况，但你绝不想在第一场比赛后就开始。
我们三个新外援进行了他们的首次亮相，并且都有贡献。值得高兴的是卡索拉几乎创造了前场的所有进球机会。要知道之前在周三晚上他刚刚在波多黎为西班牙踢了热身赛。
我觉得波多尔斯基身体还未恢复到最好，但他有做的更好的品质。而吉鲁则表明只要他在场上，就有很强的存在感。奥利弗（吉鲁）有一个很好的机会，但是他用他的右脚打飞了，我认为他有比他想象中更多的时间去调整（BCW注：言外之意就是射门不够冷静）。
我从来不否认范佩西是很难替代的，但是当你在比赛场上，你不会去想那些不在这里的人（BCW注：离开的叛徒）。
当你有球时，你会尝试良好的传递。我们有机会击败桑德兰，但我们的整体传递不够迅速（BCW注：我们的风格一直都是快速传递，但是这帮球员很难保持准确性啊）。
最后，你知道，俱乐部已经同意出售亚历克斯宋去巴傻。我们这样做是因为我们的杰克 - 威尔谢尔快回来了（这是理由吗？），我们还有迪亚比，罗西基也很快要复出了（这次复出就别再受伤了！），我们也会尽量再签一个中场。
感谢您的支持。

Wenger: 'We lacked sharpness and fluency'
Dear Arsenal supporter,
We played with a good spirit on Saturday and we certainly put the effort in. But we lacked some sharpness and fluency and that made us less dangerous in the final third.
We did create a few chances but we couldn't convert them, and Sunderland defended very well throughout the whole game. When you play a team like that you have to be sharp enough to make the difference, otherwise it becomes very difficult.
Our balance wasn't quite right up front because we needed maybe one more creative player to improve our accuracy in the final third. There was not a lot of space left to our strikers, so everything had to be created from our midfield.
It is a missed opportunity of course, and it is always frustrating when you have so much possession and only get a point. You have to accept that you will have to settle for draws at different points of the season, but you don't want to start with one in the first game.
Our three new signings made their debuts and they all contributed. It's difficult not to be pleased with Santi Cazorla because he played on Wednesday night for Spain in Puerto Rico and all our chances were basically created by him.
I feel that Lukas Podolski is not physically ready yet but he has the quality to do well, and Olivier Giroud showed he has a presence when he is on the pitch. Olivier had a great chance on his right foot and I think he had more time than he thought.
I never denied that Robin van Persie will be difficult to replace but when you are on the football pitch you don't think about the players who are not there. You try to make a good pass when you have the ball. We had the opportunity to play the ball against Sunderland but our overall passing was not quick enough.
Finally, as you know the Club agreed terms to sell Alex Song to Barcelona. We did this because we have Jack Wilshere coming back, we have Abou Diaby back, we have Tomas Rosicky not far away and we will try to bring in another midfielder as well.
Thanks for your support.
