Arsenal defender Sokratis: No excuses for poor away form

Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos admits their away form hasn't been good enough this season.

Sokratis was reacting to their poor defeat at Wolves.

He told the London Evening Standard: “Of course, of course, but the players first they like to play Champions League, they like to win but it is not easy.

“[Wednesday night] was a bad moment for us. We cannot change it now. So we look forward to the next game. All the players take responsibility. We are not stupid. We know that we didn't play good. We have to win all the games and be there.

“Maybe a little bit [of the problem is physical and mental] but it is not time to have excuses. We have to look forward: three games more. We need to win all the games and get nine points and we'll see if we can be in the top four. I trust 100 per cent my team and the players and I think we can do it."
