Match reaction vs the Mancs

[Marc Overmars]

I'm not sure that logic works. It was 10 different games although we did have a similarly tough start.
This year we've already played the 3 top sides - 2 away - and only got one point from those 3 games.
Last year we lost away at Blackburn, ManYoo and Spurs and at home to Liverpool in the first 10 games.
This year we've drawn too many but a point away at Stoke and City isn't a disaster losing away at Utd and home to Chelsea (who are clearly a very different side to last year - our 10th game then was the 5-3 at Stamford Bridge but they were all over the shop for the first half of last season)

Last year we had 5 home and 5 away games in the first 10, this year it's been 4 at home and 6 away and overall, having played the top 3 sides (who will certainly all be top 3 come May) this year has been a tougher start than last year.

Early season we were looking pretty good. Now we're not. If we can recapture our early season form then overall I think we'll do better this year, points wise. If not then probably not. But 10 games is too early to be that sure IMO.

Tough fixtures or not, it's the level of performance that's most concerning and our results so far reflect that. Too many sloppy mistakes and games where we just haven't looked threatening at all.

I think we've only played well in 3 maybe 4 games this season at best.

Exactly. Hard fixtures or not, the team look flat the motivation just isn't there whether it's against small teams, big teams or Champions League. They're not responding. The work rate and urgency isn't there and that's a huge concern because even in the hard fixtures the team look unmotivated when they should be pumped and ready to go.

Saw the interview with Wenger on the BBC, as usual bemoaning bad decisions etc etc

Some f*cker needs to ask him why 10 games into the season his team are already way off the pace and is defensively awful and offensively toothless. They could also ask him what money in the game has to do with losing to teams like Norwich and Schalke and barely having a shot on goal in several games. Some could also ask him why year on year he continues to rely on players who are always injured as well as why he plays players who were embarrasingly awful in the previous match.

Put the f*cker on the spot for f*cksake and make him answer some hard questions about his performance!!!

Wenger is clever, you can ask him what you like, but he'll twist it into Something good. End of the day its only important what he gets Asked at the AGM, not what some prat in the medial wants to know, that he don't even care about.

Those in the AGM grilled him and Ivan.

He didn't get grilled at all in the AGM, they pretty much control everything...we didn't get any answers and didn't have any questions asked about his management.

People just listened to his cr*p and felt sorry for him......poor Wenger he's got it so tough, it's not his fault he's being screwed over, poor guy life is hard for him on his 7 million a year salary.

Thats because the team is only good enough for a top 4 finish, if you expected to team to be better then they are then more fool you. Half the team is no good, then you have players who are not even settled into this league. We were never going to get of the ground straight away.

Not if you listen to the manager, he talks about only signing super super class players and talks about our entertaining football and our spirit and togetherness.

Does he believe this sh*t, if he does people should question him about it rather than accepting it by pointing out that his team underperform every season compared to the way he describes them.

Of course he does not. he is not stupid to think this lot, will win the league, he knows they won't what he does know they will finish 4th and get that CL spot.

What he does do is meet his employers targets, rather then meet his own targets, in away he has sold out to these lot of worthless ****s upstairs.

Wenger of the Old would never behave like this. He may not have always won the league, but you knew that was his aim.

Then someone should ask him why he's settling for 4th and selling out rather than doing his best to compete.

I agree someone should ask him.
