Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny felt they showed great determination for their draw with Fulham.
Szczesny says they playing with more steel this season.
"You can see from today that we are up for a fight," said Szczesny.
"Maybe it's not as beautiful as before but it's effective. I think we've got more experienced players this season.
"We've got players like Mikel Arteta and Per Mertesacker who like to fight. Mikel played for Everton who play different kind of football. I think the players that have come in are very creative as well, like Cesc and Nasri. They are creative but they are different.
"Maybe they are not as beautiful in the way they play but it doesn't matter if you win the game."
