Manuel Almunia tells team to focus from start

6 Jul 2009


Manuel Almunia believes Arsenal lacked focus at the start of last season and must not repeat that mistake.

Five defeats from the first 14 matches all but ended Arsenal's Premier League ambitions last term.

The goalkeeper said: "If we had all been more involved with the mission at the start of the season, it could have been a better year for us."
