Wenger admitted it had been a hard week following Arsenal's 3-0 capitulation at Palace and revealed his team were now under pressure to deliver at Middlesbrough on Monday Night Football. We let them down. There's still lots for us to play for.
Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are the two sides reportedly leading the race to sign the 28-year-old, who has netted 18 times in 30 Premier League appearances this season.
"That's what I said straight after the game". In football, you have to accept that you can win, lose or draw but you have to give everything to win the next game.
The duo have been missed with Arsenal embarrassingly losing 3-0 to Crystal Palace last Monday but Wenger was able to share good news in his press-conference, saying there's an 80% chance that the pair will be in the squad for the coming match with Middlesbrough.
"We've got to focus on helping Bournemouth".
Earlier in the season it was claimed that both Sanchez and Ozil are seeking parity with the Premier League's best-paid players before committing to the Gunners. It's not the fear to fail, it's the desire to make it.
Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez has scored 22 goals this term and set up 17 others earning himself a nomination for the Professional Footballer's Association (PFA) Player of the Year Award.
Conte back at Old Trafford and hoping to celebrate again
I'd prefer to be focused on my team and the game during the match, so I can find the right solution if my team is in difficulty". At the start of the season, I was in the team and I took my foot off the pedal and that is my fault.
Wenger praised the Chilean forward but also refused to reveal whether reports of a contract worth £300,000 a week had been offered to a player whose deal expires in 2018.
"Secondly, we will do as always. What is for sure is that what is paid per week today is what 20 years ago was paid per year".
"What you want - the real response - is to play with total commitment and with total belief in what we do". Will that continue to go up?
"Again all I can say is that he has been great for me".
"I'm very happy (Sanchez has been nominated) because it rewards a very strong season if you look at his numbers".
However, while he makes a valid point and certain Arsenal players have themselves come out and conceded that they need to do more, it's a risk for him to suggest that from the outside looking in and it could lead to some unhappy teammates when reading what he has had to say on the matter.
