Wenger: 'Confidence goes quickly and comes back slowly'

"It was vital to win the game. We started quite well, but slowly nerves took over and we played with the handbrake on in the second half.

"We just wanted to get over the line and did not make a mistake, but did not manage to score the second goal.

"Swansea keep the ball well and make it difficult, are quick on the flanks and have the basics of a very good Premier League team, they just do not score."

"Confidence goes quickly and comes back slowly. We are not used to the situation we have been in. We will come back - we did not have a lot of players today and when everybody is back we have a chance, but first, we need to put a few wins together."
