Wenger confident he can rebuild Arsenal confidence after Newcastle meltdown

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident his players won't be affected psychologically by their collapse at Newcastle United.

Wenger admits that his players could suffer psychologically from squandering such an advantage but he expects them to recover by the time Wolves visit Emirates Stadium next weekend.

"[We will repair the damage] by focusing on the game, it's part of our job," Wenger told arsenal.com.

"We want to do well in the next game. Time helps, focusing on the next game helps and that's all we can do. We can take a lot of encouragement from Saturday's game as well.

"We have played 12 games since January 1 and we have played outstandingly well but to go down to ten men had a psychological impact and certainly a physical one as well.

"I don't remember that [losing a four-goal lead before]. But in the second half, you must say that we were really unlucky with some decisions."
