Arsene Wenger admits FA Cup replay is not "good news" for Arsenal after Hull City draw

By

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says having to travel to Hull for an FA Cup fifth-round replay is not good news for his side.

The Gunners could only manage a draw against Steve Bruce's men despite enjoying plenty of possession and creating more than 10 goal-scoring opportunities.

They will next face Barcelona on Tuesday night before facing Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

"No not especially good news [having replay] but Hull defended very well," Wenger is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"We were not incisive or accurate enough in our passing in the final third. As long as they did not concede, they maintained with how they played.

"We had 20 shots, 70% possession but no goals.

"I cannot influence the referee's decisions, only the technical quality of my team. If we have no injuries, we can cope with the fixtures.

"I think FA Cup replays is a particularity of the English rules and you have to respect that.

"The Hull goalkeeper was outstanding and kept them in the game. It would have been decided with them or us scoring a goal."
