“They look to have good solidarity, good togetherness [and] fantastic
support as well,” the manager said.
“They are all on the same
wavelength in the team and are very efficient at home on set-pieces.
“Even on Sunday when they were 2-1 down against Man United, many
teams could have thought 'OK, it's Man United, we will not come back'.
“But you always had the feeling that they don't give up. You could
feel that they would come back. They have that special attitude and
belief in the side, and that makes them dangerous.”
“It is fantastic what [Mackay] has done,” he said.
“I watched their
game last Sunday against Man United and that is what has changed
compared to 10 years ago: the teams that have come up from the
Championship fight with the top teams in the Premier League on the
possession front. That shows you how much the game has improved in the
lower divisions.
“They beat City at home. They played a very good game against Man
United where possession was 50:50. That's the challenge for us; to do
better than these teams.
“And of course we have the warning of their performances against the
big teams, so we are in a position where we have a difficult challenge
but also a very exciting challenge because we can do better.” ARSENE WENGER
