Wenger laments defensive woe

Arsenal have conceded 14 goals in just five matches this season, as they have endured their worst start in years, and lost 4-3 to Blackburn on Saturday.

“There was a lack of concentration at corners and free-kicks, and when you are 2-1 up away from home what you must not do is give away cheap goals. We did that, and let Blackburn back into the game. We no longer appear to have the capability to keep our defensive focus for the whole 90 minutes. Of course I am disappointed by our start to the season, and we need quick results now. Spending too much time talking about it isn’t going to help.”
