Wenger warms Monreal will not cure all Arsenal's defensive deficiencies

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has warned that new signing, full-back Nacho Monreal, will not solve all of the Gunners defensive shortcomings. "What we want him to do is to take part in our collective game and not expect anything especially individually because our game is based on team play and he has been chosen because he can integrate that," said Wenger.

"He has the characteristics to play our game because he is very mobile, has a good left foot and is very good in combination play, which is of course vital in our style of play.

"We just have to keep going with the quality and get the nervous side out of our game."
