Match Reaction vs QPR

[GP]

That is a more valid comparison but Ferguson is just about the best manager of all time.
It's like comparing someone to Usain Bolt, realising they're not as fast and concluding they must be shit.
Ferguson > Wenger, clearly. But Ferguson > everyone, so it's irrelevant.
The more relevant question is who could we realistically replace Wenger with, given that the board wouldn't change and they set the agenda, who would do better? I'm not saying there is no-one out there who could but I'd suggest the list is not as long as you seem to think.

You're wrong!

Now don't challenge my opinion or I'll put you on ignore

We were gonna drop points and have an off day at some point. Happens to every team. As long as we don't go on a massive losing streak. Which I don't think we will.

Meh.

On to City. Time to beat the shit out of that little lesbian.

I forgot, you're not allowed to criticise Wenger on this message-board, otherwise the pro-Wenger brigade will come down on you like a ton of bricks for "wrong" thinking



Anyway, the above frame shows how Arteta's to blame for the second goal. He completely fails to track Diakite's run, despite being the deepest lying midfielder (Song is ahead of him). For those who say he's playing as the DMF so we shouldn't expect creativity from him and he's doing a good job "ticking things over", well shouldn't we also expect from our defensive midfielder that he should track off the ball midfield runners? Arteta obviously doesn't have the experience or ability to play this role, having never done this in his life, so why is he playing there?

It's weird, most shit strikers will still score now and then and at least get into good areas for chances (regardless of game time they recieve), Chakma on the other hand is never involved in anything. I'd rather just let Vermaelen go mental and bomb forward if we need a goal rather than bring him on.

I will be staggered if we don't sell this guy in the summer. Such a fraud.

Square peg round hole.

Sad for the player as much as the fans really he doesnt deserve to have his reputation destroyed like this.

He's doing it to himself. He had plenty of game time and didn't deliver. Now he doens't even look to get involved in the play or get into decent positions.

Pointless player.

he is an aerial player in a team that doesn't have an aerial game, he also plays with his back to the goal while midfielders overlap him, which ours don't. The only surprising thing so far is that Wenger hasnt stuck him on the right wing to "improve his decision making"

Oh and i see Bendtner scored again for Sunderland...a header...

Fucking Wenger

I see no point in over-analysing it.

It's clear we didn't play well. The boss admitted as much, and I'm sure the players know they didn't play well.

Yes, Arteta is to blame in this instance. Shock horror, player makes a mistake. Every football match in history is littered with mistakes made by individuals. Why do we have to have a witch hunt every time?

The guy has been excellent for us this season.

We were off. We didn't play well, and deservedly got beaten. Shit happens. Let's just move on.

I don’t rate Chamakh but I agree that we could make better use of what he has to offer. When he does come on, we have to at least start whipping in crosses and it would also helped if he had a strike partner playing alongside him so they can create space for each other with dummy runs.

If we’re going to keep playing a 4-3-3, then you’re right about overlapping runs. Theo would work well with him, but we’d need a central player that also makes runs into the box from deep like Cesc used to. Ox would probably fit the bill. That kid isn’t afraid to shoot from outside the area. But I don’t see Wenger changing anything to accommodate him. He’s low on confidence and will probably be sold at the end of the season.
