Wenger stunned by start
Arsenal boss Arsenal Wenger admits his side were "caught cold" in the opening exchanges of their Champions League clash with Standard Liege.[LNB]The Gunners found themselves 2-0 up inside five minutes when Eliaquim Mangala fired in a low strike and Milan Jovanovic then scored from the penalty spot after he was adjudged to have been brought down by William Gallas.[LNB]But a fine comeback saw Nicklas Bendtner, Thomas Vermaelen and Eduardo all score to earn what seemed at one point an unlikely victory, and Wenger knows his side were not at the races.[LNB]"We were caught cold by a team who were really ready and started out of the blocks at full power," said Wenger. "Standard played like it was a cup final with full commitment. When you go 2-0 down after five minutes, you know you have a big task in front of you.[LNB]"To win away from home in the Champions League and score three goals will be tough. You have to attack with full power, without restriction, and know that the next goal will kill you.[LNB]"We fought back with a goal and then in the second half, the game dropped a bit in physical intensity. When they got tired, we got set-pieces and took advantage of it. It can happen to anybody and you have to be strong."
