Ex-Arsenal defender Silvestre: Wenger too soft on players

Former Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre says Arsene Wenger is too easy with his players. Silvestre, 37, who won the Champions League with Manchester United, believes Wenger is too relaxed with his players.

"It brings confusion because they don't take responsibility," he told BBC Radio 5 live.

"They have let the manager down and let themselves down. Sometimes it's better to tell things straight away.

"He will have time to put things straight but he has to be ruthless with these players to keep them on their toes for the whole season."
