'It looked more mentally that we were not ready for the challenges'

[Burney]

Yes but a lot of fans think some of our players aren't good enough in terms of their sheer footballing ability, separate to their mental attributes. Wenger disagrees.

Only really Kosceilny, Cazorla (dead), Ozil and Sanchez are universally liked.

But the implication on his part is that these mental failings aren't down to him, whereas in fact what he's done (for years now) is buy good technical players who are - sadly - weak sisters.
