Wojciech Sczczesny says Arsenal have to forget about what happened on Tuesday night against Anderlecht as they look to secure three Premier League points against Swansea today.
The keeper admits that what happened was ‘not good’, but says that dwelling on it would be counter-productive as they aim for a third successive win in the league for the first time this season.
“It doesn’t affect you,” he said, “you don’t want to prepare for the next game, thinking about what happened in the previous game. You just want to go out and get three points. I never have any feelings of revenge. I just try to focus on the game.
“What happened on Tuesday was not good and we recognise that, but there’s no point thinking about that, going into Sunday. We just want to get the three points.
“Arsene Wenger told us we can’t get complacent in such situations, especially in the Champions League. It was the best example and the best lesson we could really get.”
Szczesny is also looking for a win to ensure he’s got the bragging rights over former teammate and close friend Lukasz Fabianski (who spoke yesterday about his feelings facing his old club).
“We are going away with Poland and I just want to make sure he isn’t giving me any stick ! I have never played against him and he is a very good friend of mine.”
We put them three goals behind us and they still came back.
Sometimes, it’s the constant stream of “we have to bounce back”, “we must put … behind us”, “we need to show our mental strength” etc. that makes each setback, defeat and embarrassment even worse. They’re all grown men, and so they must know that the only way of showing we want to move on from the bad result is by twatting the next 6 teams we play, and then not losing a 3 goal lead again.
Here’s to three points! UTA!
For this club, winning alone wouldn’t make us fans happy. Although we like how each match puts us on the edge of our seats, we want to see the fluid play we all have fallen in love with. To dismantle teams and put their defence in fear. Until then, words from players mean little. How many opponents have we seen to know how to tear our team apart with physicality alone? Players like Sanchez, welback track back and bully those who nipped the ball from them. That’s what we need. Not stand around and watch the attack turn into a… Read more »
Did footballers used to talk this much?
Just shut up and get on with it. I can’t remember Viera/Henry/Bergkamp talking so much bollocks.
And Giggs/Scholes/Keane/Beckham/Cantons etc. Can’t remember them saying oh we were shit so need to win the next game. Its fucking obvious. Shut up and do the talking on the pitch.
I don’t care about defence any more,
I hope we score 5 goals, obliterate every one of em’,
Let’s win 5-4, it’s fine…
Goals win games, defence at best only gets you a draw,
I just want to see that devastating speed: Sanchez, Walcott, Welbeck, Oxy
Let’s go…
My gunner fantasy.
Could’ve been worse. We could have dropped the lead against a shit team like palace, ensuring we’ve never qon a premier league title to date.
This is the usual sound bite.
It doesn’t sound like our Bayern Munich away moment of the season has come yet.
Dont care how or who.. 3pts pleeese. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
I’ve heard this shit so many times from this team that it means absolutely nothing.
Oh and the orcs
Why leave behind. Sometimes learn from mistakes & for God’s sake don’t repeat. Chelsea are looking better due to such performances
All players should just shut up and play well to ensure a win. Tired of the babble
Well clearly we didn’t…
Well great job, really did that.
