Arsenal Star Question's Arsene Wenger's Tactics and States 'We Should Have Played More as a Team'

Published on: 06 February 2017

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has questioned his manager Arsene Wenger's tactics against Chelsea, where they lost 3-1.


The French centre back,in the Daily Star, said:I think we played some players in front of others and I think we should have played more as a team and there was space to do so - they hit us on the counter.�


Goals fromMarcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and Gunners old boy Cesc Fabregas piled misery on Arsene Wenger's men, before Olivier Giroud provided a consolation goal near the end.

The result leaves Arsenal 12 points off of the league leaders, with only 14 games to go. Antonio Conte's men also sit nine points ahead of second place Tottenham, in a title race that really is theirs to lose.


In the reverse fixture Arsenal came out 3-0 winners against their London rivals, and it was that game that resulted in Antonio Conte changing his formation to a 3-4-3 formation.

The former Juve boss has seen his tactics transform Chelsea from the side that struggled last year.


Arsene Wenger's side have now lost their last two games in the Premier League and with the return of the Champions League just around the corner, the club will be hoping they can get their form back fast.


A tricky last-16 tie against German giants Bayern Munich awaits the North Londoners and having lost to Bayern in previous years, Wenger's side will be seeking revenge on Carl Ancelotti's men.
