whatever you say about the players, whatever you say about the club, the one outstanding thing about the club is our fans. 3000 strong army went there and sang our hearts out. Even when we were 6-1 down, we sang 'we love you arsenal, we do' for 20 minutes straight. that is one thing you can never take away from the club. hopefully you could hear that on sky sports during the game.
now for on the pitch.
we have serious issues that cannot be addressed by simply buying players. we have underlying flaws and mentalities that cannot be changed through slight tweaks, instead we need an overhaul and a revolution, something like the type we saw when wenger took over. we wont get this, but its what we need.
jenkinson, for all his hard work, is not good enough. but who can blame him? hes trying his hardest but when you're physically not good enough and your body cant push as hard as needs be to perform, it isnt your fault. you dont see j.p morgan picking up a business analyst from marks and spencers and throwing them into the deep end without any formal training. im not knocking the lad cause he knows himself hes not good enough. he gasses out after 60 minutes and has no clue about positioning. anyone who saw dixons summary on motd2 saw that he needs a sol campbell, a tony adams or a keown by his side guiding him and nurturing him. we dont have any experienced players to do that.
ramseys playing like denilson when he can play like nasri.
coquellin's good technically but way too lightweight.
RVP's gone cold and seems to be low on confidence.
theo walcott looks like he's had enough of arsenal, his mannerism is turning somewhat into nasri's/fabregas'. hes getting frustrated with absolutely everything and you can see that on the pitch. he's frustrated and heart seems elsewhere. id put money on him leaving on a free next summer when his contract ends.
there's no point having the best young keeper in the world in wojciech when he has a pile of crap in front.
no width, no passion, no heart. man utd blend experience with youth and thats something we used to do under the invincibles, but now we hang our players out to dry. while united send out their youth to teams like sunderland and wigan so they can get experience and slot into their first team ready for the first team, we dont. instead we try to give them experience in our first team and this costs us games as they make mistakes. this was a big problem covered by dixon once again on motd2.
there are massive problems at the club, and if we dont sign anyone or sort them out, we will finish outside the top 6 this season. we were due an absolute battering and it happened. if wenger doesnt sort this out, the fans will have him out next summer. some of the away fans have already turned on him and it'll only get worse as the season progresses.
p.s. traore was the worst player on the pitch. lost the ball and jogged back casually ala denilson. get him OUT.
