Arsene Wenger says blaming individuals for Arsenal's recent results will do nothing to turn around their season. Arsenal go into Saturday's Sky Live game against Hull on the slide having fallen 12 points off the Premier League pace with back-to-back defeats against Watford and Chelsea. After losing just one league game in the opening 15 fixtures of the campaign, Arsenal have now been beaten in four of their previous nine Wenger insists the club win together and lose together and does not believe a perceived drop in form from Sanchez and Ozil can be credited as the reason behind Arsenal's stuttering results.

"The team wins and the team loses. When you win sometimes some players are singled out as they are treated like exceptional players, but when you don't do well sometimes just focus a little bit more on the team aspect and not try to blame each other," Wenger said when asked about Sanchez and Ozil. "The blame culture is part of the perception of people, but what is important is that we have a good opportunity to show that we are a united strong unit and that we bounce back. "When you don't win you cannot as well say that all is well. You have to analyse that something is not right. It is our job to find where and to have a strong united response."

Wenger's position continues to be questioned by a section of Arsenal supporters, while Saturday's opponents are enjoying an upturn in results since replacing Mike Phelan with Marco Silva. "He is doing well," Wenger said. "There are many top managers in Europe. They all come to England. I believe as well that Hull played well with Mike Phelan but so many times they were not rewarded by results and they had injuries as well. "I felt they played well since the start of the season but they had not always the results. The Premier League is difficult for everybody - they were a bit unlucky sometimes so they are a tough opposition for us."
