Kommentarer efter matchen mot Newcastle
Vad hade Arsene Wenger och Glenn Roeder att säga?
Vi börjar med hemmalagets Le Boss som är säker på att Arsenal lärt sig en läxa efter ännu en 1-1-match på hemmaplan.
“We just make it difficult for ourselves.
They have to learn very quickly. We have to be patient and not make a mistake defensively.
Not winning is painful and from the pain, they will learn.”
Han tyckte också att resultatet var synd då spelarna kämpade till sista blodsdro... sekunden, ursäkta.
” It is a shame because the team gave everything and they did fight to last second.”
Han drog också till med ett ganska vanligt Wenger-uttalande;
“I feel there is a lot of potential in this team, and that it will come out because they have a good spirit and a good mentality.”
Angående matchbilden sa Wenger att det såklart är frustrerande men att man inte kan ha råd med att hamna i 0-1-underläge fyra gånger redan denna säsongen.
“It was a bit of a repetition of what we have seen until now,
It is very frustrating to come out dropping two points, but out of seven games we have been now 1-0 down four times, and you cannot afford that.”
“You cannot drop as many points as we do at home”
Wenger pratade också om beslutet att låta Henry börja på bänken.
”He was tired from the France game, and that was my decision.
You cannot play Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday - it is impossible for one man.”
Van Persie blev ju skadad, vad trodde Le Boss om detta?
“His foot does not look good, and we will have to wait to see the X-ray, he looks that he will be out for Tuesday night.”
Också Glenn Roeder, Newcastles manager, pratade med pressen efter matchen.
Han var för det första stolt över att ha tagit poäng mot Arsenal, och om matchbilden finns följande att läsa;
” They had a lot of possession, which was to be expected - after they took Liverpool apart last week, you could hardly expect us to come here and have the lion's share of the play.
The boys defended very well, put themselves in the way of the ball and we scored a classic breakaway goal.”
Där avslutar vi dagens text, nästa match är mot Hamburg i Champions League.
