Wenger: Arsenal are on the right train going the right way
“Ozil had a chest infection this weekend and he was in bed, basically”, said the Gunners boss.

“He had only one training session yesterday (Sunday)”. Teams are better organised, better prepared physical, in the last 20 minutes. “We are very happy because we showed all the ingredients you need in big games – good organisation, strong solidarity, high work-rate, moments of brilliance and moments when we needed to hang on”.
And that is why he thinks more teams are enjoying success on the road this campaign.
After 10 years of promise could it finally be Arsenal’s time to realise their potential and finish first at the top of the Barclays Premier League or is it just another false dawn? “And he is that”.
“It’s not a significant defeat because we have to play for many more points. We have something really special there”.
Despite Wenger’s squad being depleted by injury – with key players such as Alexis Sanchez and Francois Coquelin missing – they’ve managed to progress in the Champions League and sit second in the Premier League. Another factor is how long Wenger will decide to stick around.
Elsewhere, Norwich City stunned Manchester United, Watford shocked Liverpool, while there were wins for Chelsea, Spurs, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth over Sunderland, Southampton, Stoke and West Brom respectively. “You just have to make that run”, Walcott said.
Nevertheless, Wenger is keen for his players not to get carried away riding a wave of confidence. “We didn’t take a gamble at all”. Yaya Toure cut the Arsenal lead to 2-1 after his left-footed shot found the upper left-hand corner that left goalkeeper Petr Cech speechless.
City have kept one clean sheet in the nine league games Kompany has missed, compared to seven in the eight games he has played, and manager Manuel Pellegrini admitted that his side are “conceding too many goals”.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Wenger said: “We have nobody coming back”.
“But for Arsenal, these are the games that win you the league titles and without a doubt Mesut Ozil is in the form of his Arsenal career right now”.

The loss ramps up the pressure on Pellegrini at a time when Pep Guardiola, who will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, has been linked with the club.
