Martin Keown: ‘Wenger has got his trousers back on’

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger used an odd “naked” analogy to explain his struggles following successive defeats. And now when the Gunners are back to their form after 2-0 victory over AC Milan at San Siro, former defender Keown says that Wenger “got his trousers back on” Keown told reporters: “I’m tempted to say he’s got his trousers back on again. “They managed the game well in the second half and AC Milan were poor, they offered nothing and [Gennaro] Gattuso will be disappointed. [Arsenal] played with expression and the confidence was back in the team. “They picked themselves off the canvas there is no doubt about that because they were in somewhat of a hole coming into this. Everyone was talking about not if, but when, Arsene Wenger was going to walk away from this job and this is the first step back. “They were competitive; they were more like street fighters. It’s almost as if people have been able to walk all over them but not tonight." Keown added the Gunners need consistency and it’s unpredictable what will happen next.
