Wenger – 'Winning ugly' is not the way forward for Arsenal

Arsene Wenger remains steadfast in his belief that "winning ugly" is not the way forward as he attempts to revive Arsenal's faltering start to the season.

Following a thrilling opening-day win over Leicester City, the Gunners have suffered back-to-back defeats at Stoke City and Liverpool - the latter a humiliating 4-0 drubbing that could have been heavier.

But Wenger, whose side host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday, intends to remain true to his philosophy and claims the notion that teams need to grind out results is a myth.

"Of course you question your decisions, your preparation and everything. We have played three games, there are 35 to go. We have the quality to respond, it's a good opportunity to show that [Liverpool] was an accident," the Frenchman told a media conference.

"If you take the history of the game, the biggest winners in the game... if you have to play ugly to convince people to win then it's the wrong debate.

"The biggest teams in the world have played football. Brazil have won how many World Cups?... Germany, Real Madrid, Barcelona all play football.
