Wenger: 'It was a great, improvised goal'...

Dear Arsenal supporter, Everybody was talking about Jack Wilshere's goal after Saturday's game against Norwich City and it was certainly one of the best goals I've ever seen. I especially enjoyed it because it was a team goal. It had combinations and the speed which you always like your team to play with. There was a mixture of technical quality, quick thinking, quick reactions and calmness in front of goal. It was a great, improvised goal. We won the game 4-1 but you can't say that it was completely comfortable, even though Norwich's keeper was busy. They played well and at 1-0 and then 2-1 they gave us some difficult moments. I was asked in my post-match press conference whether this Arsenal team reminds me of the team that went unbeaten in 2003/04 and of course it's much too early to make comparisons like that. But I must say we have a good attitude, we are hungry, and we have a good solidarity level. We certainly get that as well from the fans, who have been right behind us. We clearly have quality, but how far we will go is down to how consistent we can be, how much effort we put into every single game and how careful we are not to get into a comfort zone. You have to avoid that at the top level. Self-belief is important and of course it is strengthened by every win. In recent years we have been playing catch-up so it's good to lead from the front this season. But there is a long way to go so let's just focus on developing as a team and keeping our solidarity. A quick word on Mathieu Flamini, who went off on Saturday. He had concussion, so on the advice of the doctor I took him off because I did not want to take any gamble. As a result of the concussion, he cannot play against Dortmund, but he should be OK for Saturday. Even without Mathieu we have plenty of midfielders and, with seven games in 23 days, we will need everybody. I will juggle my options and everybody will play. Thanks for your support on Saturday. Get behind the team again for what should be a great game against Dortmund tomorrow. Arsène Wenger
