Match Reaction v Fulham

[Flavs]

I still think we should have rotated as much as possible yesterday.

The defence and keeper the same due to lack of choice but the others? Can anyone seriously think that this

Couldnt have got a result at Fulham? Cos if we don't then we need to do some deck clearing and spending

I think he is doping very well for his first season in the EPL to be honest, his pace and dribbling are a constant worry for the other team and he can beat his man pretty much every time he gets the ball. The two drawbacks are that his decision making is still catching up with him and that we dont give him the ball in the fables "areas of greatest productivity" enough.

Lets face it, he is at least as good as Walcott and he has been in the EPL for many many years.

No point talking about Ox. Has he made any Prem appearances so far?

Wenger hasn't bedded him ( ) into the first team at all so he's not gonna be ready to start away to Fulham.

Wenger obviously has no faith in our squad at all to have rotated so little.

My previous posts in other threads, I give him credit for doing a commendable job.. Also, we had our bad start coz of AW and his 'waiting period'. Its like he pushes you in a well and when he pulls you out, you should be thankful to him!

He dug the hole we are in right now! He is the one not playing OAC, Park or even putting them on the bench. Its not that they looked like deer in headlights when they have started! Why did we buy them?

I have made peace with the fact that Arsene is going to stay till the end of the season but the thought of him being manager next season makes me sick to my stomach!

The part I've highlighted is a Brilliant analogy and exactly how I feel about Arsene.

On here we're forever giving Arsene the benefit of the doubt saying that things will come good eventually. It's not even about trophies for me, it hasn't been for a number of years, for me it's about the manager using his resources to the maximum and pushing the team/squad as far as he can. I absolutely do not believe he's doing this, or at least not in a pragmatic/I'll win at all costs way. Look I'm not saying we should spend like Citeh or Chelsea or radically change the way we do things, I just want us to be more proactive and not reactive when it comes to the playing squad. There are other things I could mention but I don't want this post to go the way of a "Arsene out" Thread as that is a separate discussion IMHO.

I think all that is true, the trouble is Walcott was a kid when we bought him and while horribly over-hyped is now getting to the sort of age where he should be delivering. And he isn't, or not consistently anyway. Gervinho was bought as the finished product and while he clearly has some skill his decision making and shooting are awful. It's a worry if this was our big summer signing.

Just sounds like sour grapes

Nah just think he is pissed we are not get many blatant decisions. Though yesterday we only had ourselves to blame.

Well he must do if he is not going to spend like a few have pointed out. Only wenger knows why Ox and Park and not playing as strange as it is.

Maybe he has been, no one knows really hows much the board relasing to him every season and we never will. Its easy to say he is tight, cheap etc but truth is we will never know.

pushing the sqaud to the limit he has done that for the sqauds he has had, they are only as good as they are.

Yep, I think the refs have been quite harsh on us this season regarding Penalty decisions. IIRC We've been denied 3 stonewall penalties this season where the replays have proved conclusive.
