When Manchester United at Old Trafford humiliation, Sunday (28/08/2011) night, Arsenal did appear with the players improvised. They lost Alex Song, Gervinho, Thomas Vermaelen, Emmanuel Frimpong, Kieran Gibbs and Jack Wilshere with a variety of reasons.
But Van Persie did not want to make the absence of a number of core players as the reason behind the defeat of Manchester United. Because the 'Red Devils' are also not showing full team.
"I do not think we can hide behind the injury or suspension. That's no excuse," said Van Persie on the official club website.
"They were hit by injuries as well. This is football," added the Dutch national team striker.
"This is the strongest team we have. We've given the maximum, but it was not good enough," he said.
Rather than bemoan the defeat at Old Trafford, the former Feyenoord player is asking his team to quickly rise.
"We need to get up. We will face Swansea two weeks away, where they were a good opponent and I've been waiting for," said Van Persie.
