Ahead of the match against Everton today, manager Arsène Wenger has stated that he has confidence his young squad can win the Premiership title.

His young squad have been branded inexperience, fragile and weak in recent weeks by some quarters in the media, but the Frenchman says that whilst they lack the experience, they certainly don't lack the desire and ability.

Wenger said: "We have talent, we have youth, therefore I believe we have enough quality to do it.

"We lack experience in some areas, I would not deny that.

"But you can't have everything. I believe we can compensate for that with desire to win.

"It is right we are young but I don't believe we lost hard games because we were young, it was because of defensive mistakes.

"We brought in Samir Nasri. He fits our team and I am convinced Denilson is getting there and Alex Song will get there too. Nasri will have a huge impact.

"I think if you ask me how many games you think we can lose, I would say zero.

"I always start a season thinking you cannot lose a game but we have lost two already and we are in a position where we have given ourselves a handicap.

"But it is still manageable to get back to the top. There is not a lot of margin for error left — but I still think we can do that."

I bliv wenger but its not always bout ur philosophies. Dis is a game u gamble, hope n wait 4 outcome but dis game requires 1 or 2 high quality tools. Dis youths need a few xperiences they ll understudy; what happened 2 learning from d masters. If england n portugal hired foreign coaches 2 help there football arsenal sure needs big 'bad' boys 4 the challenge 2 b balanced. I bliv things ll change after january.
