Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that his side have found a new way of winning games, even if they are noy enjoying most of the possession.
The Gunners were heavily criticised last year for not being able to see out games and not being able to win games when their backs are against the wall, however, in the early stages of this season, they have been able to do so.
Wenger’s men were not convincing against Sunderland or Stoke, but on both occasions, they managed to pick up 3-1 victories and Wenger has hailed his side for being able to adapt to the way the game is shaping out.
“The possession Stoke had was completely against our reputation and our way of play,” Wenger told Arsenal Player. “But that made me as well decide some players needed a little breather because we were heavy-legged in the second half.
“Since the first international friendly some players have played every three days so it was vital for them to get even just mentally a little break but overall we managed in that game to keep the result. There again I think it’s because defensively we are more stable.”
