Wenger wants cutting edge

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted his side must start to take more of the many chances they create if they are to challenge for the Premiership title in the future.
After scoring an early goal against Fulham, the Gunners missed a string of opportunities to add to their lead as they completely dominated the relegation-threatened visitors.
But the Cottagers grabbed a 78th-minute equaliser and sensed the possibility of an unlikely victory, until two late goals sealed a 3-1 victory for Wenger's side.
"We create more chances than anyone in the league but we don't score as many and that tells you we waste chances," Wenger told the club's official website.
"We were great in the first half but sat back in the second and were a little bit poor. But we came back and showed our quality late on.
"Our season is not over. We want to finish third, show respect to the fans that come every week and we have a responsibility to the other teams too to put on performances."
