But away we have not performed, and it is difficult to analyse why because in the past we have been very strong." Much has been said and written about Wenger's future at the club as well as Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez's contract situation in recent months, but the Frenchman hopes his players remain focused on their task on the pitch."It has not been very enjoyable. It is a big challenge. I do not know if uncertainty off the pitch breeds uncertainty in the team and performance," he added. "Of course the players ask me about my future. They communicate of course, but I think the most important thing we speak about is the next game. "Mesut Ozil may be coming to the end of his contract but you perform until the last day of that contract. That is how I see it. We have to focus on what is important, and that is what happens on the pitch. Top-level sportsmen have to be like that."What is for sure, though, is that the results are not what we expect them to be."</blockquote>
