The boss on Bournemouth, depth and fight

Read quotes from Arsène Wenger's press conference ahead of the Bournemouth game.

on wanting to see more fight…
I believe what I say to my players is between my players and myself. They have fantastic spirit and they will show that in 48 hours.

on not dwelling on defeat…
Come to our club and I will show you.

on if it is a mental problem…
We are in a job where you have to respond. Unfortunately there is no possible career without disappointment. Not even the best players in the world can have that so it is down to how you respond and I trust my players to respond in a very strong way on Monday.

on Bournemouth…
They have been very good. At the start of the season when they didn’t win the games they played very well.

on having a big enough squad…
That is always a question we will get. I think we have many players who are injured and come back soon. Buy, buy, buy is always the solution people see but tonight we couldn’t score and we conceded goals but we have enough defenders.

on rotating his squad…
I’m not sure. It is too early to say that.

on having options…
I think the players who came on did well.
