Wenger is embracing a winning philosophy;not abandoning it.

Arsenal play arguably the best football in the Premier League, almost comparable to the unparalleled  'tiki-taka' style employed by the Barcelona.

However, Arsenal have failed to grind out results in big games and that's why they have come short of a title challenge for the last decade but this seems to be changing.



The Gunners faired relatively poorly against the top four sides last season failing to beat a struggling and ailing United side at home, a contest in which they were the better team in large chunks of the game.

All title favourites drilled at least three points from United, with Chelsea the eventual league champions managing four.

However, Arsenal were impressive against Manchester City, a game which marked a new era for the London club. It is that game that they played as a team, going forward and also tracking back whenever they lost possession.
