Following the unbelievable 1-2 loss to Hull City this Saturday at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has stated that he is tired of the performance given by his players.
This defeat meant that the Gunners slipped to the fourth spot with 12 points following a weak at the top of the table. Arsenal has already lost twice in their first six games of the Premiership with their first defeat coming against Fulham.
English Premier League newcomers Hull City defeated Arsenal, contenders for this year’s Premiership, after trailing by a Paul McShane’s own goal.
Wenger went ahead to say ‘What the Gunners delivered on Saturday was not enough to impress, and that is known to all players and fans!
He remarked that there will be changes in the squad for the Arsenal squad for Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Porto.
Arsenal’s last match against Porto was a 1-1 draw, a lucky one, because the point saving goal for Gunners came in the dying moments of the match.
‘For the club having all the ingredients to be at the top of the Premiership, a tame submission to a newly promoted team is nothing less than shame.’
The Frenchman, while talking of Hull said that the Tigers were technically the weaker team, but showed the heart and commitment to play in front of a much better team in their den where they were undefeated for more than 15 months.
Captain William Gallas has warned the players about a downfall, if the recent trend continues of loosing in dull encounters primarily due to overconfidence amongst players of taming their opponents.
According to Gallas, ‘Club needs to avoid giving chances like those that went to Geovinni and Cousin on Saturday, and has to be more attacking, rather than possessive’.
