Steven N'Zonzi: 'Arsenal cannot deal with physical approach'

Steven N'Zonzi has insisted that Stoke City will continue to adopt a physical approach when they play against Arsenal in the future.

The midfielder believes that Arsene Wenger's side have a clear weakness when tackles begin to fly in and N'Zonzi admits that he is not surprised some players were complaining during Stoke's 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Saturday.

"We know that Arsenal play good football but, when you start kicking them a little bit, it gets harder for them," N'Zonzi told reporters.

"They don't like it, we know that. We don't care. We'll keep on doing it, being strong and trying to be as good as we can be on the ball.

"It's not a surprise they have been moaning because they have plenty of technical players."

Charlie Adam was charged with violent conduct for an incident involving Olivier Giroud in the game at the Britannia Stadium.
