Gunners to up aggression - Djourou

24 July 2010 13:31
Johan Djourou has warned the rest of the Barclays Premier League to expect a more aggressive Arsenal next season. The Gunners, currently away on a training camp in Austria, failed to stay the distance in the last title race as lapses in concentration at the back proved costly. Arsenal leaked 41 goals - nine more than champions Chelsea and some 13 extra than Manchester United, who had the meanest rearguard in the top flight. Djourou, however, insists that is all about to change as the Swiss international prepares to return from a long-term knee injury. "It is true that 41 goals is too much when you are playing for the top places," the defender told www.arsenal.com. "I think sometimes we are missing a bit of aggression. "It is not that we are not good enough because the team is good enough. We have top players at the back, top players all over the pitch. It is just that we have to be stronger as a unit."
