Wenger sticking to his Guns

Arsenal, 15:07, February 9, 2010 ,

Arsene Wenger has mounted a passionate defence of his Arsenal side's style of play as the Gunners aim to bounce back against Liverpool.

Arsenal's title aspirations have taken a severe dent following the back-to-back defeats against Manchester United and Chelsea and they host Liverpool on Wednesday knowing a defeat could significantly hamper their chances of finishing in the top three with Rafa Benitez's side currently just five points behind in the table.
However, Wenger insists he will stick to his footballing principles and has called for his side to claim a morale-boosting win and see off the Reds at the Emirates.
Wenger said: "There is only one way to play football - that is to win games and be efficient. The best way to win the games is the way which is most adapted to the qualities of your players and the philosophy of your club. That is what we try to be faithful to.
"You have to accept that when you lose games, the way you play is always questioned - what becomes a fantastic quality when you win, becomes a fantastic mistake when you lose. It is like that.
"We still have to believe in the way we do things, in the way we play and to show that strength."
Punters may be keen to use their free bet to back the Gunners to return to winning ways and come out on top in the big clash on Wednesday.
