Arsene Wenger calls for Gunners response

Arsene Wenger wants an immediate response to Saturday’s 6-0 hammering at Chelsea when Arsenal face Swansea on Tuesday night.

Wenger marked his 1000th game in charge of the Gunners on Saturday, but what should have been a day to remember turning into a nightmare as they were torn apart by Jose Mourinho’s Blues.

The defeat leaves Arsenal seven point behind table toppers Chelsea with Liverpool and Manchester City also moving clear of the Gunners.

Wenger is at a loss as to explain th e reason for his side’s collapse at Stamford Bridge but he wants a positive response when they welcome the Swans to the Emirates on Tuesday.

“We have to think deeply about because it is not the first time [it's happened]‘, Wenger said. “It all went wrong and I take full responsibility. It is my fault that we failed completely because we did not turn up.

“We felt we prepared properly, but we did not turn up, so it is puzzling. After 20 minutes, it was game over and it became a long afternoon, a long dramatic, dreadful afternoon. There is not a lot more I could say, you could blame and blame but it does not help.

“That is the most disappointing thing, that we were never in the game. This is puzzling because we were shocked and knocked down basically without feeling you have had a chance.

“What is important now is we show we have the capacity to respond, despite that disappointment, on Tuesday night.”
