Wenger- I will change things against Porto
Arsène Wenger will make changes to his side for the Champions Leagueclash with Porto on Tuesday night despite insisting that his playerswere not complacent against Hull.
The Frenchman, who enters his13th year as Arsenal manager this week, rejected suggestions that theconvincing wins at Blackburn and Bolton had made his team overlookHull. Instead, Wenger pointed at Arsenal's lack of height throughoutthe team as a reason for the defeat.
"We gave them too much roomfor the first goal and we didn't clear the ball on the second one,"said the 58-year-old. "I believe that we have more a size problem inour defending than a quality problem. It's not just the centre-backswho defend - as a team we are a bit short.
"Perhaps on a subconscious level we were thinking we would do it. Idon't fault the players for not wanting it but it can happen when youhave just won two away games. Where we are guilty is that we haddifficulties in the first half but then still went 1-0 up and weshouldn¹t have given it away from that.
"There will be changes to the team. I don't believe we were thinking about Tuesday night, though." |
