Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam has again hit out at Arsenal.

The Potters star believes that Arsene Wenger's Gunners aren't too interested in defending as a team and would rather score goals at will.

Adam has frequently played against Arsenal over the years and feels that defensively they are simply not up to it.

"The thing for Arsenal, I think it's the front six want to just go and win the game, and they let the four defenders defend, and that's it, that's how it becomes," Adam told BBC Radio Five Live.

"If you can get the ball back and get up the pitch quick you're straight into their back four, and that's the problem they've got.

"They are great going forward, The front six can cause anybody problems, but when you get beyond that and straight at the back four, it can end up six versus four or five versus four, and you've got to punish them."

Asked if Arsenal ever change their game plan to tailor a certain match, Adam added: "No, never.

"It's the same way, no matter if they are playing Stoke, Bayern Munich or Chelsea, they always try the same way.

"It is madness. I think that comes from a personal pride. (Jose) Mourinho gets stick earlier in the season, but he goes to Liverpool, shuts up shop, he's happy with a point.

"I don't think Arsenal are happy with that. They think they have to win every game."
