Agen TangKasneT  -    Furious Arsene Wenger turned his anger on the "very boring pundits" who send most viewers to sleep.

Wenger insists he will never chnge his attacking philosophy which, by his own admission, either makes him look "absolutely marvellous" or "naive."

Gunners boss Wenger has come under heavy fire after the Champions League defeat to Olympiacos left ex-Manchester United captain Roy Keane calling Arsenal "soft and mentally weak."

That comes on top of repeated criticism from Sky pundit Gary Neville but Wenger made no apology for trying to win with style and claims playing unattractive football just to get results is a turn-off.

"If you play offensive football and you lose everybody kills you," said Wenger.

But if you sit for ten games with a team which refuses to play then you will fall asleep and everybody says: 'why don't you attack?'

"When you don't win the games, you are wrong, not only for the reasons that people analyse. You have to accept that.

"But when Barcelona win the European Cup and attack from everywhere, we say: 'Oh, what a fantastic game, it's absolutely marvellous.'

"If you attack and you lose the game then everybody says: 'you're naive.' And it is true."

I think the way the teams are structured and is the way the Premier League is structured, you want to see people attack. It's part of the success of the Premier League.

"I think you lack a bit of creativity in the press at the moment and you follow a bandwagon. It's very, very, very, very boring. I don't go along with that. Honestly, not one came out and analysed well the game.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  -   "One pundit says something on TV and all behind that repeat the same thing. It is quite boring. 

Nobody came out with numbers where the game was won or lost. It's quite depressing to read that and hear that."

Wenger's whole philosophy has always been about free flowing attractive football while his opposite number on Sunday, Louis Van Gaal, is more about possession, statistics and results.

They have both got title ambitions this season but neither set of fans are happy. Arsenal supporters are lamenting a possible early Champions League exit while many United followers complain about Van Gaal's style of football.

It is a no-win situation for either manager but Wenger has got respect for Van Gaal largely because he has survived for so long in the game.

Wenger also expressed surprise at the "massive money" United paid for £35m striker Anthony Martial.

Wenger added: "We know each other but we have no special relations. But we are for 30 years in football at the top level, so we both know how much you have to suffer to get there, you know. It's like old warriors.

"I was surprised that Monaco sold him (Martial), and the amount of money was massive. But I believe that you could think if you're Monaco, they could have sold him as well next season."
