"It was shocking to see how we were beaten everywhere. It was our worst performance in Europe by far. It is difficult to analyse," said the Frenchman.Wenger will, however, have to try to pick up his players for Saturday's FA Cup fifth round tie with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and it is debatable what sort of a response the manager will get. Last season Arsenal showed their fragility when being knocked out of the Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup within a two week spell and this year could see something similar occurring.Last weekend the Gunners went to Wearside and beat Sunderland 2-1 but they needed a last minute Thierry Henry goal to seal the win, after going 1-0 behind. Henry has left Arsenal to return to New York Red Bulls, which ensures that there will be no repeat this weekend.That makes a Sunderland win look very appealing at odds of 2/1 with Betfred. Martin O'Neill's side have been in fine form of late and have lost just three times since the Northern Irishman took charge eleven games ago. The loss to Arsenal was a first defeat in six matches and one would imagine that they will bounce back from that setback without too much difficulty.Arsenal, by contrast, will be both physically and mentally exhausted from their defeat in Milan and they will also be without Laurent Koscielny, who picked up an injury in the San Siro, and Per Mertesacker meaning that once again it will be a makeshift defence that lines up in the Stadium of Light. The Gunners have only won two of their last seven away matches in the FA Cup and they make no appeal at odds of 7/5 with Betfred to claim a victory on Saturday.RecommendationWin Market - Sunderland (2/1, Betfred) Read our Sporting Bet review Get £50 free bets at SportingBet - use the promo code MAXIMUMBONUS Like Like Post to wall 157 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles Chelsea FC win 2011-12 FA Cup05 May 2012Chelsea won the 2011-12 FA Cup after beating Liverpool 2-1 in a thrilling final in which Didier Dro FA Cup Final Result – Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-105 May 2012Didier Drogba continued his remarkable Wembley record as Chelsea denied Liverpool a domestic cup do The 7 Best Pictures on FA Cup Final Day05 May 2012Liverpool and Chelsea fans have descended on Wembley for what promises to be a memorable FA Cup fin Chelsea FC team to play Liverpool FC in FA Cup final (confirmed)05 May 2012Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has opted to start Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard for this eveni FA Cup Final 2012: Pepe Reina attacks Chelsea's treatment of Fernando Torres05 May 2012Pepe Reina believes his former Liverpool team-mate Fernando Torres has not been given enough suppor FA Cup final 2012: Petr Cech prepared for penalties05 May 2012Petr Cech has revealed he will rely more on guesswork than homework if the FA Cup Final between Che More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags FA Cup Betting Tips, Sunderland V Arsenal FC Betting Tips, Sunderland V Arsenal FC Odds, Sunderland V Arsenal FC Preview, Sunderland V Arsenal FC Tips
