Arsene Wenger Castigates his side




Arsene Wenger describes his team as "defensively naïve" following the 2-1 loss against Manchester United. The team were set back as Rooney upped his side's score after Kieran Gibbs own goal. Olivier Giroud's late goal did nothing to save the eighth-placed Gunners. Wenger said in a BBC report: "At the moment defensively we are a bit naive. It's a game that we dominated for 80 per cent of the time and we haven't dominated a game like that against Manchester United for a long time. At the end of the day we were not efficient enough in the final third, or defensively, and we made a mistake at the back which they took advantage of. Once we were 1-0 down we had possession in the final third that they had to defend. We missed a few opportunities in the second half, even in the final 20 minutes."

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
