Arshavin

[Niall_Quinn]

Why would Arsene want to change him? Arshavin is half his comedy act. He can't WUM nearly as effectively without having the 'Arshavin sub' card.

That's what I meant. A WUM who was really on the ball would have appointed Arshavin as fitness coach and motivational trainer by now. Wenger isn't getting as much out of Arshavin as he could, Wenger out!

He should play where he is fecking told ffs, if he can't show motivation for that then why should be paly in the centre because he wants too.

He is a footballer not a school boy ffs

He looks a bit like a school boy.

Wengeritis has hit him the hardest.

We all saw how good he was previous to joining us and even when he joined us back in January 09.

He then had a full pre season under Wenger and he was coached out of all his talents and tried to get him to play the pass, pass, pass, lets not go anywhere but lose the ball and probably concede, pass, pass pass Wengerball way that has become so common in the past few years. So Wenger has totally mismanged him. Out of position, expecting him to defend which tbf he does try but hes not very good at it, case in point, the last game v Mancs. He tracked back but he didnt do much. So yes i blame Wenger mostly.

Saying that though, Arshavin is an international and a captain at that as Wenger made sure we knew and he probably could have done better to fight the effects of Wengeritis. He seems disinterested now.

Move him on. Hopefully will still get £10m for him from Anzhi Makelele whatever and that £10m will go down well in the pockets of Wenger and the board

Rubbish, He had been playing well till about Russia not going to the world cup then he sulked for a year because of it. now he can't be bothered and is only worried about his bank balance.

He saw the way we play before he joined, could have gone else where if he hated it, only thing AW is reposnisble foris still playing him.

"Wenger should be playing just behind Arshavin to cover him defensively. But the lazy fucker stays on the sidelines. Therefore Wenger responsible for this as well as the Italian cruise ship thing. Wenger Out and never allowed to drive boats again!" - ACH

i see alot of contradiction on this board...wont call out names, however the same people saying Asharvin is shiit fullstop also in other threads seem to questions why Wenger does not play players in their best position.

when Asharvin arrived, he thrived on the left...this was in a 442, so he midfield could offer better cover to him, and he was a revelation when the two upfront strikers created the space for him to exploit.

in this complete nonsense, psuysdo 433 that we play, the guy is massively exposed, he cannot do what he does best and that is cause devastation in the final third...his confidence is completely shot and he must hate going onto the pitch.

Wenger should have got the guy in tip top condition, played him in the centre or off RVP for at least 5-10 games and then seen what he could do.

I agree his form dipped after Russia did not qualify for the world cup however it was up to his coach to get the best back out of him, not keep on sticking him in a postion where he clearly suffers.

I made this comparison before, how effective would Dennis Bergkamp have been on the left in this useless psuedo 433, thats a valid question.

Wenger is blatantly to blame...who recall's playing Diaby on the wing, Song as CB etc....even Nasri was wasted on the right, when Cesc was injured and Narsi came into the middle last season he was magical, but as soon as Cesc is fit Nasri is pushed out wide and his form dropped in line with ours.

These are not co-incidences but they are down to Wenger forgetting that football comes first not all this science data bullshit, everyone does that crap now, why not go back to judging a footballer on what he does best.
