What they've said
Arsene Wenger
“We are still the best defence in the league if you look at the goals conceded," Wenger said to Arsenal's official website.
“But at the moment we don't have to focus too much on that.
"I think what is most important right now is that we find our game back. Our game is about creating chances, about going forward, about having an offensive drive
"That, at the moment, is missing a bit. I believe I have a team of great players and perhaps they have forgotten a little bit how good they are.
"What is most important is that we play again with our enthusiasm, desire to create chances and enjoy our game, more than thinking about if we concede a goal or not.
“In the past we have been criticised for giving chances away but we are not used to being criticised for not creating because we have a team based on that. That’s why I think it's important we come back to what our game is all about."

gunnerthru, still think Marco Reus is overrated?
Pete, very good player of course but overhyped a bit. Had some poor performances in the Bundesliga.

Yeah, I dont know why. You could see that you can force Schalke to make mistakes. But we didnt do that enough.

Schalke is beatable believe me but at the moment we lack any confidence to do that.
