Now as provisional leaders before Chelsea gets to play their game, Arsenal managed to turn a game around against Stoke City with goals scored by Theo Walcott, Mesut Ozil and youngster Iwobi. The French manager wanted to congratulate his players and determined that they are back to their good form from a few months back, he is confident they will remain like this for a while.
This is what Wenger told the press: "The key was not to let frustration into the game and keep our nerves and our composure. We didn't panic and that's maybe linked with the positive results we've had recently. We've given a lot over these days at Basel. We found the resources at Basel to win the game."
He added: "We were not too bad last year. We finished second in the league and we have to show that we've improved in the long term. We've created confidence and are ambitious. We need to keep the urgency level high and show that in every single game now. We are in there no matter what the results will be. We want to build the momentum and everyone expects you win the game. Last season we did very well against the top five and dropped points against the mid-table teams. It's our challenge this year to do well against the mid-table teams."
