Wenger and Ozil’s presence at the Emirates Stadium also played an important role.
“Playing in the Champions League and with teammates who I can learn from, who have big experience, so that’s why I moved there”. We were 3-0 up at half-time and in the second half we still created many chances but we missed something in the final ball, like we did at Leicester. “We cannot maintain it completely physically yet for 90 minutes but overall I could see there was some potential in the team, some fluency”.
The Frenchman then revealed how close the club are to sealing deals for Mustafi and Perez. Everything was positive, so I was convinced very fast.
“We had two hard away games”, Wenger told Sky Sports. “They are just over the fences ( at their respective training grounds ) and against us they are always really up for it”.
Meanwhile, Wenger has urged Mesut Ozil to build on his scoring start to the season after admitting the one element the midfielder’s game has lacked is goals.
The lads make it four points out of a possible nine with a win at Vicarage Road.
The German worldwide will complete a move to North London for a fee rising up to £35million on a five-year deal, with another La Liga player to follow in Lucas Perez, as confirmed by Wenger on Saturday.
“We frustrated them at times and we contributed to the game by going forward”, said Hull boss Mike Phelan as his side saw their 100 percent record ended by his former club United. And I think when I told you the transfer is linked of course with talent, the expected strength, but as well with resale.
The defender started against Arsenal on the opening day of the season but was dropped for Leicester and didn’t feature against Watford.
This, then, was just the performance and outcome required before the Gunners head into the global break.
“We paid a heavy price in our first game (the 4-3 defeat to Liverpool) because we were not ready, we had not the players back at home”.
