• Arsène Wenger believes Arsenal were punished for every one of their “weak moments” at Blackburn on Saturday.

The visitors were leading 2-1 and seemingly in control at Ewood Park only to ship three goals in just over 20 minutes after half time. Marouane Chamakh’s late header gave Arsenal a glimmer of hope but time ran out on the them.

Afterwards, Wenger was able to draw comfort from certain aspects of his side’s performance. However he felt the midweek trip to Europe had taken the edge off his side and all their errors were seized upon.

“The positives are that we created many chances and, away from home, that is not easy,” he said. “We dominated the game but in the weak moments we had we were not strong enough to resist. We didn’t have many weak moments in the game but, every time we had one, we paid for it.

“We gave a lot at Dortmund [on Tuesday]. It is difficult to go away from home in the Champions League and go away again on Saturday morning. You could see in the second half that it had an influence. But it is the same for everybody and we have to deal with that.

“It is two different results because, on Saturday, I felt it was a lack of sharpness. It was a bit unfortunate as well because we had two deflections in our own goal. But overall we never looked completely secure enough.”

• Arsene Wenger has admitted his Arsenal defenders have lost confidence following the 4-3 defeat by Blackburn making it the club's worst start to a season for 58 years.

The Frenchman said: "At this level, on set-pieces you cannot make the mistakes we made.

"That's where we were guilty. The second, third and fourth goal are all goals where we made basic errors and you just have to focus on the next game.

"You could see that the confidence in our defenders has gone and it's important to find it back.

"We have the potential to do well, you could see that so overall I believe it's important that we get our confidence back quickly.

"It's very difficult to accept that you lose a game when you have that much domination, that many chances. It's unbelievable."

• Johan Djourou insists Arsenal will bounce back from their shock defeat at Blackburn Rovers.

The Switzerland defender looked short of confidence himself during the seven goal thriller.

"We have to bounce back because we have another game and we have to be ready for those," he said. "We are disappointed but there is still a long way to go and things are not over yet.

"The team is building together and we are getting stronger together. We could have won the game but this team has got a lot of potential and we have to work hard to be the best."

• Doubts are growing over Arsene Wenger's future at Arsenal after their defeat at Blackburn Rovers.

His record of success at the club, including three Premier League titles and four FA Cups since he joined in October 1996, is in his favour.

But against that is the growing discontent among the fans - and the nagging feeling that the season is already a lost cause.

Former shareholder Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith greeted Saturday's defeat by tweeting: "I've always been a great admirer of AW. He has been immense for Arsenal. However there is something amiss."

• PSG are ready to offer an Arsenal escape route to Arsene Wenger.

Wenger will be handed the chance to walk away from Arsenal straight into the top job at Paris St-Germain if he fails to win silverware again this season.

Moneybags PSG have got Gunners boss Wenger as their top target.

They want him back home to turn the French club into a European super force with the help of their billionaire backers.

And to sweeten the deal PSG’s owners, the Qatar Investment Authority, will give him a £150m transfer war chest next summer.

The super-rich Arab owners spent £75m on players ahead of the new campaign and will happily double that amount if they can secure Champions League football.

• Fresh interest from Arsenal in Paco Alcacer has kicked Valencia into action.

Arsenal and Barcelona are tracking the exciting teenage striker leading up to the January market.

Aware of the interest, Los Che president Manuel Llorente met with Alcacer's agents yesterday to discuss a new deal.

The striker's current contract runs to 2013 and carries a €9 million buyout clause.
