"The inconvenient facts were there and we needed to change the recent history. We did it with style and steel. That's what we wanted.  "We were committed and disciplined and that is not so easy to find that balance in these kind of games. Overall I believe our collective rhythm was very good to give them problems. "We want to play this kind of game, based on technical quality and pace. I hope this kind of performance convinces the players that we are on the right path. We still have some room for improvement." Wenger gave particular praise to central defensive duo Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi after they barely gave Diego Costa a kick."They [the two centre-backs] had an outstanding performance," he said. "Both of them [were] committed and intelligent, technically sound, so overall I am very pleased." It was not all good news for Arsenal, however, with Francis Coquelin limping off injured after 32 minutes.The midfielder missed a significant chunk of last season with a knee ligament problem, and Wenger hopes this latest setback will not be as severe.  "It is a knee problem," he confirmed. "It is in the same place he had last year."So I hope he is not out as long as last year."</blockquote>
