Arsene Wenger blasts Arsenal fans
– Arsenal defeated Everton with 2-0 score on Saturday
– Arsenal manager reacts to critics
On Saturday the Gunners defeated Everton to save their BPL title dream, however the head coach is still under fire.
Speaking after the game Wenger said: “What hurts me is that at the important moment of the season we played in a sceptical environment. After the Tottenham game where we played a very good game, played with 10 men against 11 and came back to 2-2, I couldn’t understand why – at the moment when you need everyone behind the team – we had to hit that storm. From the media, okay. From our fans? It is a bit more difficult to take.”

“But we have to get the fans behind us with our attitude, and make sure that they stand behind the team until the end of the season,” he stressed.
The coach also reacted to Danny Welbeck’s return: “You cannot say you don’t miss a player of that stature for nine months”.
Welbeck netted his fourth goal in nine games since returning from injury.
“I believe [he can make a difference]. I had many hesitations to play him before the game because he is still not completely over his knee problem. We have to be cautious but I pushed it because I knew this was now or never [for the title bid],” Wenger said.
Arsen Wenger concluded: “I know this team has put in a lot of work since the start of the season, I know how much dedication this team has had over the last eight months and I want them to be rewarded.We have gone through a difficult period and it is a good test to see how a team survives after getting so much stick. When I see their response every day, this team deserves credit.”
