"We had so many chances to score and we didn’t do it,”he told Arsenal Player.“We missed chances here and it could have been maybe 4-1 or 5-2 but their keeper did well and it is hard.“You have to keep the faith and keep believing that you will maybe score. That is what we tried to do but he (Fraser Forster) had a very good day. He was always in the right position and did very well and it is frustrating.”

The French national is optimistic, arsenal can still chase the title. Despite their failure to secure a win in their last to premiership games.

“It’s a long way to go and we just need momentum. Hopefully we can start that against Bournemouth and then after we have a big February and March until the international break.“Hopefully we are going to have better nights to come, because tonight we were a bit unlucky and a bit sad to draw."

He added: “Now we are five points from Leicester City so it is going to be a hard time in the few weeks to go and we need to get as many points as we can.“It’s not over. we need to stay positive and be more efficient in the next games to come," he noted.

Kelechi Iheanacho Set To Debut In UEFA Champion League

Kelechi Iheanacho has been drafted into the squad that will play in the Uefa Champion League, due to injuries on Samir Nasri and Wilfred Bony, thus making the club come short of strikers, according to Manuel Pellegrini.

The Chilean affirmed that it was a decision difficult to make, but the need for a striker has to come in front, as injury continues to plague Ivorian striker, Bony.

“Yes, Kelechi will be in the Champions League squad. I told Samir Nasri i would take him out of the list as he needs two months more to be fit. We need Kelechi now as Bony is injured too. We couldn’t take the risk to go into the last 16 game with just Kun.

“It’s always difficult to tell a player he will not continue in the list but Samir understood perfectly that he needs at least two months more.“It wouldn’t have been easy for him to recover his best performance in that length of time.“We needed another striker and Kelechi is in a good moment.

He continued: “Kelechi is one player in our squad. it’s important when young players have the option to show why they’re an important player. He will continue trying to fight to start every game. For me, as a manager, you have to work with the whole squad as we have to play so many games.“It’s important for everyone, not just for the players but for the club who’ve invested a lot of money in the training ground to have players arriving from the Academy into the first-team.“It’s important to bring young players into the first-team but they must be good players so that we continue to be a competitive team.

“The injuries are the same names with Kompany, Mangala, Samir Nasri, De Bruyne and Bony. The player that is fit is Kolarov. Fabian Delph has a small problem from the last game so he’s not on the squad list for tomorrow.“It’ just a kick in Fabian’s calf. it’s not a serious injury. We have to play again on Saturday so I don’t want to take the risk.”

He further revealed that he does not know if Bony injury is very serious, but knows he will be out for a long time.

"I don’t know if Wilfired’s injury is serious but it’s longer. He tried to start working harder and he couldn’t, so he’s now restarting.”
