Wenger 'It is so frustrating to flirt with success'

[Tony Tuesdays]

As I don't have ATV if anyone else has please could you post Wenger's comments as i'd love to know his viewpoints on the topics discussed below.

Our Season Review continues today with the reflections of Arsène Wenger.

Speaking ahead of the Club’s Annual Charity Ball, the Arsenal manager looked back at the ups and downs of the 2010/11 campaign.

He discussed:

the attitude of the squad
Arsenal’s away form
failing to hold their nerve
the games that lost Arsenal the title
the manner of the goals conceded
correcting the problems from set-pieces
the height of his players
the criticism of his team

Why?

He will only talk the same old shit he usually does. Cant see anything wrong with our style of play, can see that we have trouble defending set piece's, doesnt agree with the critiscm of the team, will look to strengthen which will be difficult, blah, blah, blah.

Why do you want to torture yourself.

[LDG]

I'm not listening to the cunt all summer.

Will just rely on you lot for info.

The only time i want to hear him is if its stood at the side of a new signing and that signig is someone i have heard of

[Cripps_orig]

Just heard it

the attitude of the squad - the attitude of this team is very good
Arsenal’s away form - it was the best away form in the league. This show great mental strength and spirit
failing to hold their nerve - We finished top 4 so i would say we held our nerve
the games that lost Arsenal the title - it was the games Man Utd won rather than the ones we lost that lost us the title
the manner of the goals conceded - every team concedes goals. It is not a problem
correcting the problems from set-pieces - There is no problem. We are 2% away from correcting the problem
the height of his players - Look at Barca players. Messi, Xavi and Iniesta are not tall and they are successful. We can be the same
the criticism of his team - the only opinions that matter are the board and they are happy with how the club is going. We make a lot of money and that says it all im afraid

True story

You have got to be lying. Can anyone else vouch for that?

Unbelievable!

This is what a friend told me:

Haven't got time to go into detail now but in a nutshell he said we need more height in the squad for set pieces because we've conceded far too many goals from set pieces.

Liverpool, Spuds, Bolton were examples of the kinds of games we should've won. Those are the ones that lost us the title.
We didn't hold our nerve when we needed a big title push.

[Özim]

We should sell some of that great mental strength, spirit and togetherness Wenger always talks about, apparently we have loads of it, could make some new signings from the return from this.

[LDG]

He covered all his bases over the last few years.

He said the defence wasn't up to scratch during last summer, and that we were short in that department in the January transfer window. He failed to correct it on both occasions.

No nobody believes him.

But I do agree with Flavs. The basic groundwork of coaching the defence is of paramount importance before you even look to strengthen that department.
