Former Players Views

[Özim]

Thats nonsense. Easy to say that in Hindsight and if we were never going to win the CC then why was every Arsenal fan upset. nonsense to say that.

Everyone thought we would, we did not loose it because of poor mentality we lost it cause the keeper and defender had a mix up.

Why? Because fans wants to believe and because we were the bigger club with better players we thought we should......without any fight, desire and mental strength we we never going to win it.

The mistakes were due to lack of concentration and professionalism, something that's drummed into you by the club, the mental side of the game....this wasn't a one off either, it's a trend that's repeated itself many times.

No the mistakes were because the keeper and his defender never communicated at that point. You don't need a manager or a coach to tell you how to commuincate on the pitch.

Cheshey "leave it, its my ball"

Kos "ok"

Yeah your right, we don't have a right to think we could win it (i mean the players) But as fans we know we should be beating brum, we should be.

Not one person said before, we'd loose that game because we don't have the mental strength etc. like i said its easy to say it in hindsight.

Did anyone go to that CC final??

Man that must have been so shit.

Sorry but no, that's part of the mental side of the game.....lack of concentration, you tend to make mistakes when you're not focussed enough.

It was the final of a cup, not a 3rd round fa cup tie. If you don't go out there and be motivated being in a final and with full concentration then you should not even be out there.

Totally agree and on that basis we had no right to be there, the minute we walked off the coach with out t-shirts and carefree attitude it was clear we weren't focussed on the match....and guess what in the end we lost it. We thought we could just turn up and win it....what a shock it was when we got beaten.

Can't disagree with any of that.

2010-2011 We challenged that season, it was only after loosing the CC we crumbled like bitches, had we won that imo We'd have gone on to win the league.

i'm struggling to find reasons to agree that challenging up until february is a challenge for the title.

K, fair point, but i believe up and till the CC we were challenging and would have had we won that cup.

That game certainly was a watershed for the season. But when we have faced watershed games we have almost always been found wanting. It cannot be dismissed as coincidence.
