adminLONDON. – Arsène Wenger turned on his players after watching them go out of the FA Cup to Nottingham Forest on Sunday and admitted it “hurts very much” to experience a third-round defeat for the first time since he took over as Arsenal’s manager in 1996. Wenger had made nine changes for the trip to the City Ground, but said he was entitled to field such an experimental side with the tough Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Chelsea coming up tomorrow night and added that Arsenal needed to take responsibility for themselves rather than adding to his criticisms of referees.
The Frenchman also expressed his disappointment with the mistakes made by his team in an early FA Cup exit at Nottingham Forest on Sunday. – AFP.
