Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has claimed that his current side at the Emirates Stadium can achieve more than his ‘Invicibles’ team, who won the Premier League title in 2003/04 without losing a match and went a record 49 games without defeat.
Wenger’s claims will come as a surprise to many Gunners fans, having seen the North London side lose only their second ever game at the Emirates to Premiership debutantes Hull City last Saturday.
Wenger said: “The invincibles were an extraordinary team and I believe we are very close - I believe we have the quality to achieve that.
“What comes out of the invincibles is that the consistency they showed in their attitude and that is what we have to cope with and I believe we can take that from them.
“They have been consistent with their attitude and over the long-term there is that consistency there.
“I believe this team can achieve great things and we should not set limitations on that because they will go as far as they want to go.
“What energises me is boys who want to do something with their life and have a fantastic attitude and great desire. My job is to guide people who want to be successful and this bunch of players want to be successful.
“I had always a strong belief we can achieve it with the players I have and I am confident I will be proved right so that is why I want to do that.”
