Koscielny: Make the Emirates a fortress

Defender Laurent Koscielny has called on his Arsenal team mates to make the Emirates Stadium a fortress and be 'unbreakable'.

That call may already be too late, as we've already suffered one league defeat at home, a 3-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

And that's a game which the £10 million signing admits was the most difficult he's played in.

Koscielny said: "The toughest match for me so far was definitely West Brom.

"I had been playing lots of games prior to that one and was at the limit of my physical possibilities.

"When you are not at your physical best, it is hard to mentally give the effort such a game requires.

"To lose at against them at the Emirates Stadium left a bitter taste and we have to be unbreakable at home.

"Everyone can play his part, go out onto the pitch and do something that benefits the team. That's so important.

"The confidence is good, the atmosphere among everyone is too, everyone is pulling in the same way. Positive feeling like this helps us face matches and win them."
