With a five point gap to Manchester City after only from three games, Wenger has described Arsenal’s start to the season as “very average” but Ramsey believes that there has been some improvement since defeat on the opening day of the season against West Ham United. “I think we’ve responded well,” he said. “Hopefully now we can beat Newcastle, go away with our national teams and come back and go on a bit of a run. Many things can happen in this league. So many times you have seen even the bigger teams struggle in a couple of games and everyone is back into it.”
