Arsene Wenger: Looking for his side to show consistency and earn a top four place
Arsene Wenger has called for consistency after watching Arsenal thrash ten-men Blackburn 7-1 at Emirates Stadium.
A Robin van Persie hat-trick inspired Wenger's side to a first Premier League win of 2012 and close back to within two points of fourth-placed Chelsea ahead of the Blues' clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
Wenger, however, insisted he never reads much into big results, demanding instead his team just produce another winning display when they tackle in-form Sunderland next weekend.
"We need consistency," the Arsenal manager said.
Strangely
"This will help us slowly to believe again that we could win - to win 1-0 at Sunderland would be fantastic and that is what we have to prepare for, to produce a good performance."
