Arsenal whipped Everton 5-1 and completed fifth in the Premier League on Sunday yet coach Mikel Arteta said he took little reassurance from Europa League capability and was still in torment from the botched Champions League a valuable open door.
Consecutive losses by Tottenham Hotspur and, with a frantically level showcase, Newcastle United, gave the drive to Spurs and they took full benefit by pounding Norwich City 5-0 on Sunday to get that fourth spot.
"We did what we could. We really wanted a supernatural occurrence yet the season doesn't lie," Arteta said. "In any case, I can't survey the season as I'm still in a ton of torment from Monday (the 2-0 Newcastle rout).
"I'm very frustrated today. We created assumptions and that sensation of culpability and not arriving at that level is agonizing. Our level has not been sufficient and we know how we need to take the club to a higher level."
Under Arsene Wenger, Champions League capability was the beginning stage - and he accomplished it for a surprising 19 years straight. Starting around 2017, nonetheless, Arsenal have been outwardly searching in - their nonappearance even more difficult for it being nearby opponents Spurs who have moved forward to the high level.
In the wake of beginning the season with three losses - transporting 10 goals and neglecting to score simultaneously - getting into the Europa League could be viewed as something of a triumph, yet Arteta didn't view it as such.
"I don't persuade a lot frankly," he said when asked what fulfillment he took from meeting all requirements for Europe's optional rivalry. "We lost something we might have won I'm still in torment.
"In any case, the fans have given me many motivations (to be positive). The climate they constructed, they can see what we're doing and what the players need to do."
Everton coach Frank Lampard said his much-changed group had discharged their physical and profound tanks in the rebound prevail upon Crystal Palace that kept them in the association. "Our huge last was on Thursday and we won it and today was out of line," he said.
"It was a troublesome game for the players, however much we attempted to concentration, and Arsenal were playing for something. Offering three goals from set pieces is a focus issue and that is not really an astonishment."
With the Everton fans singing and moving in festival of city rivals Liverpool passing up the association title, Lampard was likewise ready to essentially excuse Sunday's outcome which at some other season of the time would have been a reason for profound soul-looking.
"My inclination right now is outright joy and alleviation that we kept the club in the association," Lampard said. "Whenever we came in it was troublesome, going game to game simply attempting to track down ways of dominating matches and get focuses.
"I think the manner in which we've played somewhat recently, against a few major groups, has been phenomenal. It's been a particular kind of football, yet we presently need to take a gander at how we can be better under lock and key. A portion of that will be from working on the crew and some will be work we can do in pre-season.
"The beneficial thing about the pre-season is that we can mirror a little and revive. The reasons we are where are real and we really want to work on in a great deal of ways."
