Wenger Responds To Critics

Arsene Wenger was in a defiant mood after suggestions his position as Arsenal boss is under threat.

Wenger has come under intense scrutiny from some critics, with the Gunners suffering their worst start to a league season in over 50 years. The Frenchman said:

“I am not bothered at all by this speculation. I am completely focused on doing well.”

“I can understand that people are unhappy and criticise, but you know as well as I know people are very quick to go overboard.

“I accept critics and I do not say it doesn’t matter that people criticise us, and like anybody else, I prefer it when they say I am good.

“When we do well we take all the plaudits, so we have to take as well all the blame when it doesn’t go as well – but we have as well on both sides to take some distance.

“When it goes well we must not completely believe what people say and when it does not go as well, we must not completely believe it.”

“I have just managed 14 years at this club and I have kept them 14 years in the Champions League and I hope it lasts another 14 years.”
