Thegoalmac can reveal that Arsene Wenger admits Arsenal were always in danger of squandering their three-goal lead against Anderlecht because his side defended poorly “from the first to the last minute”.
Sincerely, I thought that game was over when Arsenal scored the third goal, but to my surprise when i checked towards the end of the game, low and behold Arsenal as usual happened, lol. Continue for what Arsene said.
"The result is very disappointing,” Wenger told Sky Sports.
“We
had a bit of bad luck because the first goal was offside. A bit of lack
of concentration because we thought the job was done.
“And a
bit of fatigue as well, we had problems to finish the game and we didn't
win the challenges anymore. Overall, defensively we were poor from the
first to the last minute today.
"When they came back to 3-2 you
want to secure yourself again and we were maybe not cautious enough
because we wanted to score goal number four. I still think if you look
at the goals, it's very poor defending. I was never completely sure that
we were not in danger because the whole game we didn't defend well."
Borussia
Dortmund have progressed from Group D following their 4-1 win over
Galatasaray on Tuesday evening, while two points from their final two
games would guarantee Arsenal a place in the round-of-16 stage.
When
asked if he was frustrated or angry with his side’s display against
Anderlecht, Wenger replied: “Both. But you have to be realistic as well,
they are a good side.
“It's hugely disappointing today but over
the two games we got four points and when you look at their
performances it's well played for us.
"We'll see [if top spot in
the group has now gone]. We have to win our next game and see. We have a
chance. It's likely now that Dortmund will win the group and our one
worry is to qualify first. I'm confident because one point should be
enough but it's not done."
