Diaby has been out injured and he plays from the start.<br />Gibbs for me was great and Theo scored again for the third time.<br />Adebayor and RvP should have done better with their great chance on the edge of the box.<br />Wenger with this selection has made it obvious the CL is his prize, but as a fan I feel cheated with his team selection and I feel he will rest key players again on Tuesday against Liverpool.<br />Wenger stated in a n earlier interview that he wouldn't talk about fatigue, but yesterday he talks about the team being Jaded.<br />Chelsea were there for the taking, they are a team that likes to dive and Terry's dive was a criminal as his mum shopping in Tesco.<br />I am angry, but the rant is over and we move forward and it would be a turnaround if we did win the CLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-11904818917038734802009-04-19T10:48:00.000+01:002009-04-19T10:48:00.000+01:00Adebayor should never play ahead of a fit Eduardo ...Adebayor should never play ahead of a fit Eduardo in this team, he was simply rubbish.

And still falling backwards.

Defensive injuries cost us the game. Almunia, G...1. Defensive injuries cost us the game. Almunia, Gallas, Djourou, Sagna and less so Clichy (as Gibbs did well) would have provented at least one of the goals, espcially Malouda's.<br />2. The wrong players started. I agree, no Song = no Fabregas. Liverpool have no Gerrard on Tuesday and so Song could have played today and have been rested then giving Denilson the chance to pass throught the midfield at Anfield, NOT today.<br />3. Although he had no supply, Adebayor was shite, i cant tolerate his hit and miss pereformances. Wright, Anelka, Henry; we need some one at least near their abilties to the lead the line and as much as i like him, Ade will never be one of these.<br />4. Despite this, Wenger made an error in playing 1 up top, the only player in the World that could do that job against the immense Alex, Terry and less so Ivanovich is Drogba! Especially with Fabregas being shadowed and the fresh Arshavin not being on the pitch.<br />5. Im baffled why we didnt play 442 as we did at Stamford Bridge (it looked like 442 to me then) and look what happened there.<br />6. Theo Wlacott is becoming a real player, he made Ashley Cole look shit all game, he gave Terry problems, showed strength and tracked back very intelligently. Without doubt our best player.<br />7. Didier Drogba on form is the most devastating centre forward in the World and there is no team more powerful than Chelsea... but it wont last.<br />8. Liverpool is a pivotal game of our season on Tuesday.<br /><br />9. Win that game and we have a chance to get to Rome with our momentum maintained.<br /><br />10.

To lose with the Ash and Naz on the bench is hard to take. I do not blame the goalkeeper. The blame lies with the all knowing Mr Wenger who gave the chavs too much respect. He failed the team today with his selection. He undid all the good work of the past months with his cowardly team selection. The chavs were there for the taking and we bottled it because of Mr Wenger and his cowardly team selection. I hope he rediscovers his balls in the coming weeks or we shall have to chop them off because he is not using them when picking his team. He has ruined everyone's weekend and we demand a public apology from Mr Wenger for leaving two of our best players sitting on the bench and for filling our hearts with hope only to break them with his cowardly team choice for such an important game. I don't want Mr Wenger out. I want him to stay true to his beliefs and send out Arsenal teams to play our atacking football and to not worry about the opposition.

Blaming the pitch is hollow, Chelsea adapted we couldn't. <br />Only Arsene knows why he dropped Arshavin, who would have mauled Ivanovic allday long. In case Wenger forgot, Arshavin is the reason why we have turned things around in the league and he's been great in the fa cup. The problem with the tactics is we played scared of Chelsea's midfield, inviting pressure on our hapless backline. Also, in the process the tactics wasted our four key attackong players Fab getting lost in the sea of shit midfield partners, moving rvp out left made little sense, why waste him when he's been our best striker? Ade getting totally isolated and removing Arshavin from the team altogether. Perplexing. Walcott was a menace until Hiddink adapted and snuffed him out with extra cover, Wenger never adapted to our obvious deficiancies...thats also why we lost. Having said that- with DIaby and Denilson taking turns in giving posession away permanently. And Eboue being caught out of position also permanently we were constantly on the back foot. <br />We are cover at the back and a DM partner for Fabregas away from being a genuine threat next year. If Wenger fails in those departments, like he did this past summer we won't reach the heights this young and exciting team can hit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-86583954985612259702009-04-18T22:13:00.000+01:002009-04-18T22:13:00.000+01:00Msg For Krack head John;

I think we are all convinced that today's failures are linked to poor decision making in team selection, <br /><br />Can you imagine playing A useless Lazy DIABEY instead of SONG?? wHY DID HE LEAVE OUT Arshavin and Nasri?? he knew he had a weak defence and the way to countaract that was to use his sharpest creative players. <br /><br />Did Wenger have Liverpool game in mind?? why ?? He already knew Aston Villa had lost 2 points today, He knows that he wont win the premier, and neither Champions league, why was he resting SONG, NASRI, ARSHAVIN???????<br /><br />I think, AFC is lacking a stronge Manager in MIND, it also lacks a sharpe ASSISTANT to A. Wenger, because THE ASSISTANT TO WENGER is virtually useless. <br /><br />It is time for AFC administration to find a suitable Assistant to Wenger too. But all I can say is that todays failures are 99% Wenger's. He should accept he has been making poor decisions and there is no hope of him changing. <br /><br />As an AFC fan, I know I will only get joy when he is out. There are no signs of him doing any thing. WENGER AND THE BOARD ARE MONEY ORIENTED, JUST FINANCES.
