Ballack feels the team spirit at Chelsea is stronger than ever
Wenger's side lost 2-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but after the match he claimed "we didn't get a demonstration of football" from the home side - a comment that left Ballack unhappy.
"Wenger always says things like this when he loses to find an excuse," Ballack said. "We knew the way Arsenal play. It is always the same style."
"Football is not possession of the ball and playing a nice pass - football is about winning games. That is what Manchester United showed when they played them and what we did. We derived the win because we were very effective, and that was our strategy."
Germany captain Ballack now believes that the title race is a straight shoot-out between current champions Manchester United and his Chelsea side, with Arsenal not good enough to be considered viable contenders.
"If you look now, it seems like a race between Manchester United and us. But four weeks ago, you could see how it was [different] and it can go quick when teams lose points," Ballack said.
Chelsea face Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday looking to extend their two-point lead over United and nine point lead over Arsenal, while the Gunners face Liverpool in a game they must win to reignite their title ambitions.
Wenger needs to stop with all this BS, teams play long balls don't allow arsenal to play blah blah blah. Maybe if arsenal did not play the exact same way every game they may actually do something special, maybe if he never sold all his stars they could do something.
Anyone else tired of hearing about the young gunners? When do they ever mature?
Fabregas is gone because he knows arsenal are just a nice passing team but nothing more than that. Nice passing does not win titles. You need mental strength, physical strength, you need to adapt when the way you are playing is not working.
Complete idiot wenger has become. Watch liverfool beat them this week
