Arsene Wenger responded to Arsenal's dismal 2-0 home defeat against Liverpool by insisting he does not feel under pressure and will never walk away from the club.

Wenger has come in for criticism for his failure to act decisively in the transfer market and David Dein, the former Arsenal vice-chairman, warned last week his close friend could reach a point where he would turn his back on the Emirates Stadium.

But Wenger, who was left frustrated as his side was beaten by two late goals after the dismissal of Emmanuel Frimpong, denied there was any possibility of him leaving.

"There is no chance I will walk away," he said. "I will continue to give my best for the club.

"We are at the start of the season and it is very disappointing that we lost. But there has not been an earthquake.

"We are living under circumstances where every defeat is perceived as a disgrace. I always feel under pressure, but no more than usual. I feel the result was harsh," Wenger said.
