Wenger blasts Arsenal critics

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says it is unfair for people with no managerial experience to criticise him and his team.

The Gunners were eliminated from the FA Cup by Sunderland yesterday on the back of their 4-0 disappointment at AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday, prompting plenty of negativity towards the North Londoners.

Wenger does not believed the club is in a crisis and feels that some people are way too quick to pass judgment on his team.

"It depends what you call a crisis," he said.

"Every time we lose a game we have a crisis. Our job is about winning and playing well.

"We will get criticism but I feel that it is a bit hard on the team.

"At the moment I get many lessons from many people who have managed zero clubs and zero games and zero European games.

"We have played 15 years in the top four, which is a mark of our consistency.

"The competition is very hard in England. I do not want to speak too much about that. We can speak a long time about that one day.

"At the moment we have to forget all that and focus on our next game and try to win it. We won our last away game in the Premier League so let's win our next one at home."
