Wenger continued: "We played with a desire to win the game with an offensive team".
After a 3-1 defeat at West Brom, Wenger revealed he had made a decision over his future but was not willing to divulge following a damaging loss.
The Frenchman is in the midst of the most testing spell of his tenure with the Gunners, with some disgruntled supporters calling for him to end his 21-year association with the club.
"The fact that we've lost a few away games: it's really unusual".
"I can understand the fans' disappointment". The crowd at Crystal Palace were telling you what they feel. "I think it would be inconvenient to speak about me tonight, it's more painful to lose the game like the way we lost this one", Wenger said in the press conference. When asked about finishing in the top four, he responded: "Very hard, certainly."I want the fans to support the team".
The Gunners are in serious danger of missing out on the Champions League places following the Palace defeat and it means they are seven points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City, with a game in hand. "We won a lot of possession off them and won a lot of chances off them".

Arsenal great Ian Wright said the nature of Arsenal's latest capitulation showed the "dressing room is lost". Arsenal created a few chances as Alexis Sanchez looked capable of scoring whenever they went close to Palace's goal mouth, but were denied by Palace's impeccable defense.
Townsend put the Eagles ahead as Sam Allardyce's side went on to claim a fifth win in six games to move six points clear of the relegation zone. "You could tell. You could sense that from kickoff".
Mamadou Sakho, a center back on loan from Liverpool, was excellent for Palace in reading the crosses into the box, coming out to block shots and delivering the kind of towering overall display that was beyond Arsenal's defenders.
"Our performance was not a shock as we won at Chelsea, but we knew if we repeated that tonight we could get a result and we did that".
He also derided the idea that "at least Walcott was being honest", saying there's an element of selfishness about such post-match interviews, that players are just looking to cover themselves.
