Wenger – We needed to win before Chelsea match
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was pleased with his teams performance in the 2-0 win over Standard Liege last night, especially in the first half, and expressed that it was important to bounce back after the loss against Sunderland, and renew the team’s confidence before the meeting with League leaders Chelsea.
“The first half was good, in the second half we eased off.” Wenger said after the game.
“We just kept the result and we were in control. You could see we lacked a bit of urgency in the final third because we just eased a little bit off in the second half. First half was interesting with fluent moving, it was a very good first half.”
“If you look at the last nine games we have had a very good run but Saturday was not at the requested level. It is still in the minds of the players because you never forget a disappointment. But it was important to win today to prepare well for the Chelsea game on Sunday.”
