Although at the time I was screaming at the Tele for him to put them on. We have had another injury plagued year and lack of depth once again caused our downfall. Moving to the Emirates (although it is always denied) has resulted in the Arse sitting with "hands in the pockets and firmly planted under the seat." The spending was coiled back and the result is just hoping that our quality players stay healthy. A stronger bench squad is the recipe for championships.. Man U and Chels cases in point. Nasri was arguably the most consistent quality on the pitch all season long. He rarely plays a poor ball through. The thing is, we have Nas Fab Arsh and Theo (that's much depth when it comes to playmakers). Rosicky (will he ever be fit) is another quality playmaker. We still GREATLY require depth at CENTRAL MID and we will remain out of the trophies until we get two more in that role. Diaby looks to be on his way with some more teaching. DEPTH IN D AND DEPTH IN MID. Then bring on all comers. Eduardo should be back fit, the 1 for 10 Bendtner(at least he can score with his head-maybe he should move to central mid) should eventually pan... out I hope,. I'd love to see Henry return now that he has his Champs League glory, to return the glory to the team he loves so much. He bleeds red and white and it could happen. In that case we could swap Adebayor(who has had consistency issues this year) to Barca for him. <br />Denilson doesn't have it...let him go. Anyone who says he shows promise has not been watching. We have enough playmakers who are of better quality. Transfer him and get some cash for a holding mid.<br />Anyway, I stand behind Le Boss. He has an excellent frame to work with and i expect he will be able to strenghten it this year even though last year the team had the same issues. I trueky believe if he could spend like the other big two, we would be building a larger trophy case. There must be something going on behind the scene. Le Boss is bright and those who want him out will be sorry if their wish comes true. It will haunt the club forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-48512961294832086242009-04-21T07:56:00.000+01:002009-04-21T07:56:00.000+01:00The sense of entitlement of modern fans that leads...The sense of entitlement of modern fans that leads them to demand public apologies from the manager is fascinating and quite staggeringly naive and misguided.AusGunnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-21956582815112798882009-04-21T06:00:00.000+01:002009-04-21T06:00:00.000+01:00The only apology we want is from dumb fucks like y...The only apology we want is from dumb fucks like you who pretend to be the "voice of all gooners"!!!<br /><br />Wenger got the only set-up that makes sense against Chelsea's 4-5-1 with 3 in the middle to counter Ballack, Lampard and Essien.

Chelsea were no match for arsenal but instead of removing Diaby who was too slow and dropping balls at an alarming rate, the fur-goat went ahead and touched the " weaken the team more button instead of strengthening the weak points". This guy sometimes i think is a psycho. if he could master the "Kill off the game then experiment afterwards instead of experiment then try to get the game if experiments have failed!!!" In other wards a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. Why can't Wenger think about Liverpool after we've played chelsea? No wonder the guy is going trophy less! Wenger for your information, the team is going into the Liverpool game demoralized following a defeat. Was it your intention to put the demoralising factor in their heads before the pool game!! These guys need to win a trophy but Wenger is thinking otherwise. A trophy would psyche them up for next season. I can assure you Diaby wasn't good enough to start that game and as it progressed he displayed he was the weak point but Wenger kept him up to the end !! Style up Wenger, we love the team but you are handling it like your personal property by turning it into a " Mere participants team rather than a big team in Europe!!!!"True gunnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-49689576339910186432009-04-20T05:15:00.000+01:002009-04-20T05:15:00.000+01:00pleased visit

They are leading the league and we have to play them in a few days.<br />They have rested their players and have shown in their performance against Everton that they can play the two brazilians at full back, Wellbeck and Macheda and gibson and be a match for top teams.<br />Wes Brown is due back in a week and Fletcher is back.<br />Rested Rooney,Giggs,O'Shea,Ronaldo,Van der Saar(sp)<br />and Carrick.<br />Here's my guess --Fergie doesn't really give a damn about the FA Cup with the League title and CL at stake.<br />They will be back to their full rotation and will have many players to call upon over the next several weeks, of course barring additional injuries.<br />Arsenal have key players out for the rest of the season and a glut of games coming up with a small rotation of players to choose from. Several carrying niggling injuries.<br />That should be arsenals concern now-not going out of the FA Cup.<br />Chelsea are a formidable team with a deep squad--maybe you should give them a little credit and stop whining about what could have been. It's done and dusted --move on.<br />There are many clubs out here that would love to have Wenger--be careful for what you ask for!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-21618400267858307922009-04-20T04:45:00.000+01:002009-04-20T04:45:00.000+01:00I've read some of the comments regarding the chels...I've read some of the comments regarding the chelski defeat and most point finger at wenger and his team selection. This is natural since the buck stops with him, but demanding apology is abit extreme.<br /><br />However, some of the explanations from fans as to why we lost both varied confused. We arsenal fans know very well the frailties in this Arsenal team, but we choose to kid ourselves thinking the team can soldier on despite these problems.<br /><br />I think we lost against chelski beacuse of a numbers of issues with the squad. They are:<br /><br />1. You can't ignore the injuries to key defenders and keeper. The absence of Sagna hurt the team alot becuase hes been our most consistent defender. Personally, i would rather have him at CB than Silves. Silvestre as a cover is simply not good enough, hes just too slow. I would rather have Djorou with one leg and in a wheelchair. Wenger should'nt signed silves becuase of one simple reason: hes not good enough for Man UTD so why sign him.<br /><br />2. Eboue and Denilson are not arsenal quality and we've known for time. At top level you need specialist players. These two have potential to do everything and masters of nothing. Denilson kept giving the ball away and could not tackle to save his life. Fabianski wasn't clever either, but needs more first team action.<br /><br />3. The squad as a whole is unbalanced. Too many small creative players who are similar, and not enough physically strong ones. When you a team like chelsea you know you need to match them physically first, and we were just over-powered all over the pitch, especially in midfield. This is becuase there is one natural holding midfielder (Song) in the whole squad. This totally unacceptable.<br /><br />4. Also, you can ignore the state of the wembley surface and its impact. But then again, this is when your battlers should see you through and some of our players did not fancy the 50/50 challanges. This is where chelseas superior power told.<br /><br />5. We did not lose the game bc Arshavin and Nasri didnt start or come on earlier. There was not much wrong with the team selection. Hes just selected wrong players in midfield. Diaby and denilson were wrong choice in mid bc they are too forward minded and not enough steel. I think Arshavin could've made much impact bc we were losing the battle in midfield. As for Nasri, well, he hasn't been playing well for weeks.<br /><br />6. And finally, lack of Henry type striker. Apart from Walcott, there is not much pace upfront. This very important becuase arsenal style relies on quick, slick counter-attacks. Adebayor and van persie will not provide that and we are relying on 19 year-old boy to stretch teams.<br /><br />I just hope for Almunia, Sagna, Cliche and Djorou to come back fit quick, becuase we need them badly. Also, wenger must learn from the chelsea game and must not repeat tactical errors.Jamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-6147155647483700492009-04-20T04:06:00.000+01:002009-04-20T04:06:00.000+01:00Something really interesting...

We have ...Let's cool down guys and think about it. We have 4 games in 10 days (Wigan 11 Apr till Liverpool 21 Apr). Despite all said about the players being pro, they still tire especially. We cannot help about the defence due to injuries. We were worried about them during the Villareal game, weren't we? It just so happens our fears were realised in this Chelsea game.<br /><br />1. Arshavin on the bench is probably more on adding physical strength in midfield and VP can help out more defensively. AA in if there is a deadlock or if we are winning, it would be bonus to save him fresh for the Liverpool game.<br /><br />2. Song on the bench is most probably with the Liverpool game in mind and also AW's confidence in Denilson to do a job. Unfortunately, Denilson did not perform for this game. (The bright side is that AW can recognise the limitation of poor Denilson and use him as a squad player rather than a first teamer).<br /><br />3. Nasri... well, I think he probably is rested as he had played a number of games and he probably would not be able to help out Gibbs.<br /><br />Personally, Diaby and Denilson did not perform well. I thought they could at least provide help for Silvestre who is playing his 2nd game in 3 days, after a long layoff.<br /><br />Also, we saw numerous long balls to Adebayor. How many did he win against Alex? <br /><br />Personally I felt Walcott played his heart out. Unlike VP or Denilson who fell after pushed off the ball (albeit a little too easily and often), I was surprised Walcott managed to hold his own. When he was felled, he immediately got up and fought to recover the ball. (I do recognise VP was trying his best to help Gibbs and on a few occassions was playing like a mad man to recover the ball)<br /><br />Denilson seems a bit down these days especially after the captain is back and Song in form. He needs a bit of mental strength to challenge for his place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-28372170573288008382009-04-20T01:06:00.000+01:002009-04-20T01:06:00.000+01:00All this talk about " we lost because we didn't ha...All this talk about " we lost because we didn't have our back 4" is ridiculous to be honest, it played a part, but at the end of the day a gae is played orver 90 minutes, we lost the battle to chelsea, we couldn't control the game after we conceded a goal, which lead to constant pressure which eventually lead to mistakes<br /><br />People are looking at things too black and white, thinking that we would have won the game if it wasn't for mistakes, when in all honesty, we were never in control of the game, and didn't create enough chances, the fact we only had one shot on target after theo's goal pretty much sums up how ineffective we were on the day, we were always in danger of losing the game with only a 1-0 lead with no attacking threat...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-1144260099956315882009-04-20T00:40:00.000+01:002009-04-20T00:40:00.000+01:00I agree!

Plus it wasn't to "give Gibbs cover" - Gibbs spent much of the game up near their penalty area as one of our better attacking players, hardly cowering in his boots at the back! Arsene had no answer to the poor showing of RvP and Ade against Terry & co, No answer at all other than to swap them for like players! In my opinion Wenger has lost something. His tactics are poor, he used to change the game at half time and we'd always come out better. Also, I think he's lost his legendary eye for talent. This team is a watered-down version of the invincibles, bought at bargain prices - and it largely shows. This season, Arsenal = 50% poor and 35% ok with 15% lucky/amazing results.

The boys now need to get there heads right for Tuesday, we have a big game against Liverpool and an even bigger game the following Wed against Man. U in the Champions League, who also went out of the cup today on pens, (thats the biggest smile ive had on my face this weekend lol) we need to get back behind the team again, and be the twelve man, which i know we will do. <br />I disagree Wenger needs to apologise to us, hes made us the team we are today!<br /> We have been extremely unlucky with injuries this season, but where still in there, and this could be a very good end of season for us, lets hope we can get some of our boys back as soon as poss. One last point, i was disgusted with the pitch, Wembley is supposed to be our national stadium, that pitch was a digrace......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-35613467354350455632009-04-19T19:50:00.000+01:002009-04-19T19:50:00.000+01:00wenger threw away our FA cup this season. the only...wenger threw away our FA cup this season. the only opportunity for arsenal to get a trophy. for champions league, it is very hard because we can't field arshavin. and we should face man utd in home and away game. for EPL, surely we can't win it. because we have a big gap between a league leader, so no dream at all to win the premiership. the one, and only one opportunity is FA cup, which take place in neutral ground, and we has additional player who is fresh because not play in champions league. but, why wenger mess it up? why not starting arshavin, song, nasri? if he want to rest some players, arshavin must not in the list because he not play against villareal. denilson and diaby play like retarded vs chelsea. the only player who wants arsenal win that semifinal game only theo walcott. the rest just only running on the pitch. wenger, you should admit your fault. you must fielding the strongest squad, not the black monkey diaby, or pig face denilson.<br />we can win the game 3-0 if arshavin play. sure. but wenger don't want a win. he just want to gamble his side, you are asshole wenger. make a world of arsenal fans feel very sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-2894133212172285642009-04-19T19:12:00.000+01:002009-04-19T19:12:00.000+01:00Arshavin nor Nasri, defend...if they are on the fi...Arshavin nor Nasri, defend...if they are on the field, who protects Gibbs...Chelsea would have run riot down the right side...The truth of the matter is that at some point we will accept that none of the current group can provide the required defensive ability that will allow Fabergas to get in more offensive areas of the field. His performances against most of the other teams don't matter. It's what he gives Arsenal against the big boys and they have been wanting.<br />WE haven't replaced Flamini-he was the glue!!!!<br /><br />Song has had good performances agaisnt average teams...he is no match for Ballack-Essien-Gerrard-Alonso-Carrick-Giggs. <br />Flamini on the other hand did reasonably well against those teams. We just don't have the bite in the middle of the park.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
