Petr Cech: "Arsenal need to be uglier on the pitch"

Petr Cech says that the key to Arsenal turning around their wobbly opening to the season is to start winning games at any cost.

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has urged his teammates to become "uglier" in order to turn around their recent poor form.

The Gunners have lost three of their last five games in all competitions to see the pressure grow on boss Arsene Wenger.

Cech, a summer signing from Chelsea, believes that Arsenal have a squad that is capable of challenging for honours as long as they can find the right balance.

"Sometimes we need to be uglier on the pitch," FourFourTwo quotes the experienced stopper as saying. "Sometimes you need to make sure that, no matter how you do it, you win the games.

"Every team needs people who guide you through the difficult moments and with the experience I have and with the experience other players have.

"Per [Mertesacker] won the World Cup, Mesut [Ozil] the same, the guys from the Spanish team know what it is to win big trophies - we have a good balance, together we just need to find the right time and the right way."

Arsenal take on Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon looking to climb back into the Premier League's top four.
