Wenger: 'Nothing good enough anymore'

Arsene Wenger says that it his not down to him to judge what success is for Arsenal this season, but admits that "nothing is good enough anymore".

Arsene Wenger has refused to name what would constitute success for Arsenal this season, stating that "nothing is good enough anymore".

The Frenchman remains the subject of criticism by a number of Gunners fans for failing to mount a successful Premier League title challenge and exiting the Champions League at the last-16 stage.

Although claiming that it is not for him to judge what success would mean, he has earmarked Champions League qualification and an FA Cup win as his objectives in the next few months.

Wenger told a press conference: "Nothing is good enough anymore. You try to do as well as you can. Success is not down to me to judge. Our job is to do as well as we can until the end of the season.

"We want to play in the Champions League next season but we have a tough job because we have six or seven teams fighting for places, and how well we do until the end of the season will depend on that.

"For us it's vital of course [to win at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday]. It's a strange championship because we don't have continuity at the moment. You play in the cup then you play away again, and the teams have played a different number of games.

"You can never afford to lose. It's true it's a tough game, West Brom traditionally is, but we have a chance to come back closer to the position that is closer to Chelsea."

Arsenal are currently fifth in the Premier League table, five points behind Liverpool, albeit with two games in hand on Jurgen Klopp's side.
