Arsene Wenger, however, believes this is normal. Because, in these four draws, the opponents are basically very strong, and the only weaker opponent, Stoke City, also happened in the case of playing away. And it happened because most of the team's main players did not play, including Zhang Xu, who did not make his debut.

The other three opponents, one Liverpool, one Manchester United, one Chelsea, two away and one home, Arsenal is indeed strong, but the opponent is not a fish belly, plus the team does have physical problems, the bench strength is really not enough, so there are only four draws.

Therefore, Wenger is not in a hurry at all, he knows that there is no big problem with the team, and in the next games, the team will definitely show everyone his strong strength again!
