Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has rejected criticism of his side’s form in the early games of the new Premier League season.

The Gunners have dropped five points from their first four Premier League games and struggled to see off ten-man Newcastle United 1-0 at the weekend.

And the performance at St James’ Park on Saturday attracted some critical views from a number of pundits, views which Ramsey has refused to take too seriously.

“It’s too early now. You can’t read too much into how the table is looking,” he told reporters.

“You have to wait ten games and see where you are then.

“Teams are going to have upsets and so many things can happen in this league. Hopefully that opening-day upset against West Ham will be our only one for a long time.

“If we go on a run now after the international break and win our next five or six games, then we will be there or thereabouts again.

“It’s important just to concentrate on what we know we can do.”

Wales international Ramsey is yet to find the net this season, having scored ten in all competitions last term.
