Laurent Koscielny: 'Arsene Wenger not solely to blame'

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has insisted that underfire manager Arsene Wenger is not solely to blame for the team's current poor form.

"As a player, we have responsibility on the pitch and need to be together. It is difficult to say it's his fault or our fault," Koscielny is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "The boss is here to give his best for the club. He's been here for 20 years so he's always loved this club. "We need to stay united; it's a bad period but we need everyone who likes this club - players, fans and staff - to be together and to fight to be as high as we can."
