The Gunners fell to a shock 1-0 loss to the Canaries in the Barclays Premier League last week, before goals from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Ibrahim Afellay handed the Bundesliga outfit a 2-0 win in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
However, Arsenal have an excellent chance to bounce back on Saturday when they take on struggling QPR in the league, and Arteta believes it is imperative they get back to winning ways.
"We have to bounce back," the Spaniard told the Daily Mirror. "We have two days now to get this result [the Schalke loss] behind us and hopefully we can get a win on Saturday.
"The way we are giving these points away, for me, it is not good enough.
"We are controlling most of the games but then we seem to make mistakes at certain times which is costing points. We cannot allow for that to happen."
Arsene Wenger's men are currently 9th in the league after picking up 12 points from their opening eight games.
