Wenger unfazed by Arsenal's winless run

Another game passed by for the Gunners, and the club was unable to pick up a win.

After the defeat to Manchester United, and the draw at the weekend, the result against West Ham means that Arsenal have now gone three games without a win.

But manager Arsene Wenger is not letting it get to him.

"At the moment I don't deny that [the winless run], but it is a moment where our performances are not reflected by our results because against Manchester United we had 33 shots on goal but did not win the game and at Southampton we had a lot of possession and it was a similar game to tonight basically," he said after the West Ham game.

"It's true, it's a bit frustrating, we had to keep confidence in our game and we go through a patch where there's a difference between what we create and what we score, but that will not last."

There are some who believe that Arsenal's players are suffering mentally after the defeat to United, where they were so dominant for so long, yet came away with nothing. And Wenger does not necessarily disagree.

"I felt that the 33 shots on goal against Manchester United and the chances we missed had a little impact there, but we need to continue focusing on the quality of our game and not to focus too much on the fact that we are not ruthless at the moment," he said.

"That will come back by not making too big a problem of it. There are periods like that where adjusted finishing is not right."

Two home games against Newcastle and Liverpool in the coming weeks give Arsenal the ideal chance to get back to winning ways.
