my concern is the mentality of the team when the chips are down, a goal behind with the clock ticking or frustration at a team playing with 10 men behind the ball.Quote:

Wenger goes on about his team being young and the counter is that it is the same group that have been playing together for a while now. . . .IMO they are still young, well mentally at least, this is because Wenger refuses to ween them off the diet of false praise and equally empty forecasts that it is going to come good in the end.
What these kids need is a good dose of reality! God you would have thought that after each reoccurring collapse that they would have had enough doses already and be street wise to what to do, when the likes of Blackburn and Sunderland come to town, but no that does not seem to be the case because Mother Wenger finds another to blame, refs and the like. . . .he lets the same players start and fuck again, and adds its OK
we are good enough!
What he needs to do is come down with fire and brimstone, I mean 6 years and no success, surely even Charlie the Gooners boss would have not let that long go!
The playets get infected with Wengers words and dotting and become weak!
What we need, may be a bit of height but we also need a bit of courage, a bit if it aint over till its over. . . .
this why I think Samba would be good for us/Cahill too. . .OK, Samba may not be world class but I think we are a few trophyless seasons short of being able to attract world class these days
Samba has been in situation were he has had to fight for his wage, fight week in week out to keep his team up, knows what the smell of blood both his own and that of others. . . And most of all was a success doing so!
He has the qualities that will show our bunch what is needed and will improve playing with more gifted players because even though Blackburn had our number we are still far better than them
this is what I hope Wenger addresses
Sorry I have written so much on my phone, not sure what the topic is anymire, hope I havent gone too off subject
