Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hits back at Gary Neville's "arrogance" remarks

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hits back at Gary Neville's comments that the Frenchman's "arrogance" has stopped him from building a title-winning team.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has responded to claims made by Gary Neville that the Frenchman's "arrogance" has hampered the club from building a side capable of winning the Premier League title.

The former Manchester United captain criticised Wenger for not 'adapting' and buying powerful players to help the club challenge their rivals for title glory.

The Gunners, who have been tipped as title contenders this season, have earned just one victory out of three league games so far, and they failed to strike in Monday night's goalless draw against Liverpool at the Emirates.

When asked about Neville's comments by reporters after the game, Wenger said: "I don't know what that has to do with arrogance. You find all kind of attributes for me since I've been here. I have tried just to do my job well for 20 years. I leave the judgement, the assessment of the quality of my work, to everybody else.

"Everybody has his opinion and is entitled to that opinion. I could prove to you that it's not necessarily right, but let's not go into that debate tonight.

"When you don't win, you're wrong and people find reasons. Are they good reasons? I have enough experience to know when it's right and when it's wrong."

Arsenal, who last won the league in 2004, have not scored in five of their last six home games.
