<p>The Gunners crashed out of the competition after Lewis Grabban’s late goal condemned them to a 1-0 third-round defeat at the Sky Bet Championship outfit.</p>
<p>Arteta was without Granit Xhaka and Folarin Balogun due to Covid-19 while Emile Smith Rowe was also out injured and the Spaniard knows they need to add to the squad in January.</p>
<p>“I think it is clear where we need to strengthen but at the moment it is what we have and what we have, we have to play,” the Arsenal boss said.</p>
<p>“I want to try to get the best out of the players that we have. We have what we have (available) and we know we have issues in many different positions.</p>
<p>“But we try to put out the most competitive team that we could to try to win and it wasn’t good enough.</p>
<p>“We have the players to perform better than what they’ve done and we have the level to beat them if we are at our maximum and we didn’t have that.”</p>
<p>Arsenal failed to have a shot on target at the City Ground on Sunday with Forest setting up a fourth-round meeting with holders Leicester.</p>
<p>Steve Cooper gave Steve Cook his debut after the defender’s move from Bournemouth with Keinan Davis also starting following his loan switch from Aston Villa.</p>
<p>Cook told the club’s official site: “It was a little bit emotional to be honest, I haven’t really been involved in anything like this in the past, so it was special and I absolutely loved it.</p>
<p>“We fully deserved the win. Tactically, we were outstanding and the lads worked their socks off. Arsenal have some talented individuals, so to nullify that was brilliant.</p>
<p>“Everyone down to a tee nailed the way the manager wanted us to play.”</p>
