Robin van Persie says Arsenal's injury problems are no excuse after their humiliation at Manchester United.
The Gunners captain disagreed with manager Arsene Wenger's claims of a restricted line-up contributing to defeat.
Van Persie hinted at real problems inside the camp by refusing to go along with that verdict.
The Dutchman, who struck one of the consolation goals against the champions, said: "We need to come back. We have Swansea in two weeks, who are good opponents and I look forward to that.
"This was the strongest team we had. We gave our maximum but it was clearly not good enough.
"I don't think we can hide behind injuries or suspensions. It is no excuse. They had injuries too, this is football."
