“A winning mentality does not come in one day, I'm sure that every single player at Arsenal wants to win but it is coming to the moment when you need to play really bad games and win 1-0. One of the problems for Arsenal as well is that they are conceding too many goals. I think that teams now play against Arsenal knowing that they can score so that can be a little bit psychological.”

“It's not easy when you lose Flamini, Hleb, Senderos, Gilberto and Lehmann. When you lose all these players — and Flamini, for me, was the best player last year — it's really difficult to compete against Chelsea, Man United or Liverpool.”

“My message to the fans would be to be patient and calm, Arsène knows what he is doing. Being in London and seeing the Arsenal fans, the thing that is coming [out] really often is the frustration because they want to win trophies and they know that the talent is there but they are still missing something.”

“I don't know if they need to get players [in January], I just really believe that they need to get a bit more together. I don't write them off. They can surprise so many teams and, even if they don't do what they expect to do in the championship, they can in the Champions League.”
