da heads bet:
da luck: Arsene Wenger has stated that he believes that criticism aimed at his Arsenal side is unfair, and that his team want to win the north London derby next weekend.
The Gunners suffered an emphatic 4-0 defeat at the hands of AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday, before being knocked out of the FA Cup by Sunderland on Saturday.
The French manager feels that the question marks over his players are unwarranted, and he is focussing on the next game.
“It depends what you call a crisis,” he told Sky Sports when asked whether he considered his side to be in one.
“Every time we lose a game we have a crisis. Our job is about winning and playing well.
“We will get criticism but I feel that it is a bit hard on the team.
“At the moment I get many lessons from many people who have managed zero clubs and zero games and zero European games.
“We have played 15 years in the top four, which is a mark of our consistency.
“The competition is very hard in England. I do not want to speak too much about that. We can speak a long time about that one day.
“At the moment we have to forget all that and focus on our next game and try to win it. We won our last away game in the Premier League so let’s win our next one at home,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, The Daily Mail have stated that Wenger will be given a £55 million transfer kitty to strengthen his squad in the summer, going against the club’s usual frugal approach in buying new players.
