Arsene Wenger calls on Arsenal players to up performance

Wenger calls on players to up performance

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he wants to see more from his players, saying that they need to make the maximum of their potential.

The Gunners are well off the pace in the Premier League following their 2-2 draw against Hull City on the weekend, trailing leaders Chelsea by 11 points at this early stage.

Arsenal are also in danger of missing out in Europe with three points from their first two Champions League group games, and Wenger has urged his squad to add a "fraction more" to their performance in tonight's match against Anderlecht.

"We have lost only one game in the Premier League, but we have not enough points with what we produced," the Frenchman is quoted as saying by BT Sport.

"Top-level performance is to make the maximum with your potential and sometimes in games you need a fraction more, so that is what we want to do - give a fraction more to be really efficient in what we do."

Inexperienced goalkeeper Damian Martinez is poised to start at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium for Arsenal.
