Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits they made it too easy for Arsenal on Monday night.

The Gunners won 0-6 at Bramall Lane.

Ahead of their next clash with Bournemouth, Wilder said: "You need to, give yourselves an opportunity and we have done that before. But there have been a lot of games that have gone from one to two to three and even to four very quickly, which is incredibly disappointing. I'm not trying to deflect anything from my team on Monday, because the performance and the manner of goals were unacceptable, but it was an outstanding performance from Arsenal as well.

"Did we make it easy for them? Yes, in terms of the goals. Of course stopping the goals is key for us to try and get a foothold in games and trying to get a result from games. We have been incredibly harshly in terms of the injuries - like Egan, Basham, Baldock. Robinson and Anel have been out of the team. We go to Luton and get a good result and we look at that as a blueprint, going to a place where a lot of teams struggle and put on a performance that was excellent. Then you come away and lose Rhys Norrington-Davies for the season and Max Lowe for the season.

"There's got to be a touch of sympathy in terms of the stability and consistency that we've not had, which every team needs but especially newly-promoted teams. But there's other stuff in there that we need to address and it's not just the back four or five. There's people in there not tracking runners and not putting in tackles where they have to put in tackles. So there's a lot to work on in a short period of time."
