William Gallas insists Arsenal will adopt a more direct
style this season.
The Gunners finished 21 points behind Premier League champions
Manchester United last term and Thierry Henry has since departed
for Barcelona.
Gallas believes Arsenal can still challenge for silverware,
although he accepts that it will require a change in
approach.
The French defender wants to see his team-mates to still play with
flair, but be more ruthless in front of goal.
"When he (Henry) was at Arsenal we maybe did three or four passes
in front of the goal, but now we have changed our tactics
completely," Gallas told the website.
"Our football is different, but it will be good to watch."
Have to
fight
Arsenal have developed a reputation for being vulnerable against
teams that are more physical, and lost seven times away from home
last season.
However, Gallas has assured supporters that Arsenal will be more
combative this time around.
"We have to improve from last season," he admitted.
"We made a lot of mistakes but I think this season will be
different because we understand that sometimes we have to
fight."
