Wenger: I can’t say all is well at Arsenal
The Gunners host Hull on Saturday now 12 points adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea after last weekend’s 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
That followed a surprise home reverse against Watford with the two losses meaning Wenger’s side have slipped further off the pace and a first league title since 2004 looks unlikely.
Wenger has come under fresh scrutiny from a minority of Arsenal fans who want to see the Frenchman’s 20-year tenure at the club come to an end when his contract expires at the end of the current season.
But in the meantime, the 67-year-old admits his side faces a fight to maintain their run of finishing inside the Premier League top four in every season since 1996.
“The team wins and the team loses,” he said when asked about Ozil and Sanchez.
“When you win sometimes some players are singled out as they are treated like exceptional players but when you don’t do well sometimes just focus a little bit more on the team aspect and not try to blame each other.
“The blame culture is part of the perception of people, but what is important is that we have a good opportunity to show that we are a united strong unit and that we bounce back.
“When you don’t win you cannot as well say that all is well.
“You have to analyse that something is not right. It is our job to find where and to have a strong united response.”
