if you are comparing this team to one 8 years ago then yes of course he hasn't improved it but he was never going to because the team 8 years ago just happened to be the finest team he has ever created, and quite simply the greatest team to have won a premier league title.Originally Posted by Munchies
He has improved the team this year, the fact that this time last year we were about 15 points off top and this year we are only 4 and still, more by maths then reality still in the title race is huge improvement. lots of areas to work on though which is where Arsene has made his mistakes like not buying a striker. however interesting quotes going around this morning from liverpool's owner. there was a 40 million buy out clause in suarez contract but john henry refused to sell on the basis that he felt Arsenal wouldn't take them to court. shows our information was correct and why we wouldn't go over 40 million because there legally was a buy out clause, the question of should we have gone over is of course valid and yes we should have. ozil and suarez in this team and the title would be ours already.
we have improved, and there is no point looking at the team now and 8 years ago and saying we haven't improved because thats stupid. look at the last two years, races for fourth clinched on the last day, this season could end up going the same way, but it also currently is one game away from wembley. if we somehow come third and in touching distance of the winners and by that i mean 5 points or less then huge improvement has been made and if we get to the FA Cup final and somehow win the thing then it will be an outstanding season. There are huge faults with Arsene, his tactics yesterday were wrong, and I'm not liking this slow starting thing, why can't we play like we did against bayern however players have to take the blame too. Take podolski, acts like he is pissed off being subbed or not starting, yet plays like he did yesterday? some players are coasting and its not good enough but i guess ultimately the blame lies with ARsene. still time to make this season a good one, and yes there has been improvement
