They’d just come off the Napoli win and you’re thinking, ‘let’s kick on now, there’s only four games left, play your strongest team’, but he didn’t.“There were a few mistakes from the manager, but you can’t knock him because he’s done a wonderful job so far.” Arsenal will be back in action on Wednesday away at Wolves, with three of their remaining four fixtures set to take them out on the road.</blockquote>
