What They're Saying

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via BBC): "We had a poor defensive performance from the first until the last minute [against Anderlecht in Champions League on Wednesday]. We never looked comfortable and we got punished. [Am I] Annoyed? Yes. It is very disappointing. We were very poor."

"In the Champions League, you need to be at your best mentally and we weren't," he added. "Maybe subconsciously we underestimated Anderlecht at 3-0."
