Arsene Wenger 'criticises Arsenal players in angry training-ground inquest'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reportedly let out his frustrations in a fiery rant at his players during an inquest into his side's defeat to Olympiacos in the Champions League.

Yesterday, the Frenchman gathered his team at the club's London Colney training base to discuss Tuesday's 3-2 loss to their Greek opponents.

Usually, this is the time for players to openly talk with their manager about what went wrong, but the team were stunned into silence when Wenger criticised his team's passion, intensity and work rate in a heated rant, according to the Daily Mail.

The 65-year-old did not single any player out for criticism, but reportedly told them that he expects a much higher standard when they return to the pitch against Manchester United on Sunday.

The Gunners are in danger of not making it out of Group F in the Champions League as they have lost their first two matches and face back-to-back games against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
