That's it for him. I feelthat his problem is his decision making. The defference between a good player and a great one is down to decision making. When to pass, move the ball, dribble track back etc etc. That's the hall mark of great players. sadly, Diaby lacks that vital edge. Nasri like Fab gives us the Ommp in the centre,hopefully the Boss continue to play him there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-26572922552121848892009-01-12T02:03:00.000+00:002009-01-12T02:03:00.000+00:00The person speaking of barca is correct.

I think that Wenger has given up on the CL thats why he wants a cup tied Arshavin. As to the CM drop Denilson and play Ramsey he is more creative anyway. Denilson is so very frustrating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-91508142312637821992009-01-11T22:14:00.000+00:002009-01-11T22:14:00.000+00:00Wenger should really talk less.

As a life long Arsenal fan, I must say that his team is a very very poor mans imitation of a Barcelona wannabe team.<BR/><BR/>Just watched Osasuna try to defend and put 10 men behind the ball against Barca. They just ripped Osasuna apart. Pace, power, skill, resilience and mental strength. At one point, Barca went a goal down with 10 mins to go, after leading 1 -0 most of the game - I thought they would crack (as Arsenal would 1000% have done) yet they won by two clear goals, and made the opposition wish for the final whistle!! <BR/>That people, is football - and I dont see Pep Gaurdiola complaining about the tactics of other teams - he just gets on with the business of his own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-80985527618089387432009-01-11T22:04:00.000+00:002009-01-11T22:04:00.000+00:00agree with the article completely.

Vela is showing he is by far the best candidate for that job. <BR/>Eboue looks shot of confidence to me and is happy just to keep possession. he gives the ball away so often - basically Vela is much much better than anyone else we have. personally I would like to see more of wilshere but I accept that a 17 year old can be a risk in the long run. can Ramsey do a job on the wing?

The reasons are the following. <BR/>1) He dribbles better<BR/>2) He is faster<BR/>3) He can play on the flanks while Fab cant<BR/>4) He shoots more<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately we can not play them both at the same time in the middle due to the defensive inability of both. We will always loose 30 percent of Nasri's potential on the right side. If Fabregas ever leaves, Nasri will be his direct replacement. Did u see the difference and the spark when he took Diaby's place in the center. Man i am reallly disappointed with Diaby. i hate to say it but he has to go along with song and Eboue. I am pretty sure that all three will leave in the summer. By then we will have a new defensive midfielder along with a new winger and defender. I already know the names that are coming in(official) but i promised that i will not open my mouth.

Does Vela fit the bill as the new Pires? Who knows. There is still a DRASTIC NEED for a central mid that will control the air(who, who, who is out there available?) and a winger on the right to fill in for Theo.<BR/>Once Fab and Theo are back, you have much skill in the middle but still no solid air man.<BR/><BR/>It looks like City have had their Arsh offer just waiting for the Arse to lo ball and then swoop in to send a message that they have money to burn.

The three subs did not always get it right but they played positively and committed defenders. It was a shame that Van Persie was not feeding off of Bendtner's headers late on but in defence of RVP he had just played over 80 minutes with a centre-forward who didn't jump for the ball! Talking of Bendtner you are entitled to your hatred of the young Dane but do you have to have a sideswipe at him when he scores the only goal?

He's traditionally more used to playing in the middle and is starting anyway. Better to use him where we need him. I think that part of the article got it straight on. <BR/><BR/>As for Vela, certainly he could look different starting than substituting. We've all seen that with many players as Arsene slowly brings them along. However, he IS pretty electric and was starting all last year in La Liga. It's a fairly crucial juncture to the season, and Vela does give us width in the last twenty that we sorely lack. <BR/><BR/>Ole Gunner: you can have sideways passing that stays in front of the defense, which is different than players penetrating down the sides in the last 20 ala Vela. I was watching older video yesterday - remember how Pires used to go down the left sideline and then punch it into the middle that was inevitably tapped in by Henry or Ljundberg et al? That kind of move will help breakdown a Bolton style defense. We currently don't have enough of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-8785729710888164042009-01-11T14:32:00.000+00:002009-01-11T14:32:00.000+00:00culminating in Van Persie’s delightful cross for t...culminating in Van Persie’s delightful cross for the otherwise ineffective Bendtner. quote.<BR/><BR/>Was this the Bendtner that came on and beat Shittu in the air for the first time in the game, the one who got our first headed chance on his arrival, the one that scored or the one that was asked to play wide right: out of position.Take your preconceptions out of your reports.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-62937387615600623742009-01-11T14:02:00.000+00:002009-01-11T14:02:00.000+00:00Listen to you people Nasri in the middle is far be...Listen to you people Nasri in the middle is far better than Diaby. There is nothing Diaby can offer us at the moment so why not try something that works. As for Vela being mentally ready to start - why should he not be ready? Nasri came in and walked into the team so why should it be different for Vela. Lets be honest Diaby is crap on the side and in the middle so why persist with him.

The sideways passes were designed to stretch the game, especially by switching play from flank to flank. How can you have one without the other?<BR/><BR/>One thing I think might help is if Clichy and Sagna start crossing from like 45-50 yards out, with their weaker feet. Clichy with his right and Sagna with the left. <BR/><BR/>Just also wanted to point out that if Nasri were starting through the middle we'd be hearing you complain about a lack of width. You're ignoring the big problem.
