Arsenal F.C. Thread [2010-11]

[poet11]

Forget that blond lesbian Song should have cleared the ball as soon as it came to him and that incindent wouldnt have happened.

After I cool down and think of all the events throughout the season the only thing comes to my mind is we made a ******* JOKE OUT OF OURSELVES. worst part of it this was the best ever chance to be get back to winning stuff.
1. the way we inspired the superb comebacks
2. the way we let Birmingham City win the FA Cup
3. the way we went to the Nou Camp to DEFEND while they had no CB'S. we beat them when they were stronger when we attacked. and worst of all if that was gonna be the approach then why Rosicky instead of Eboue and two half injured players???
4. exact carbon copies of the same mistakes over and over and over again its just unbelievable. one can have a weakness but its not like we were forced to commit the same ****.
5.possession possession and possession but no shooting or any kind of penetration whatsoever. what is so very beautiful about keeping possession i don't understand it. passion should be the more likely P word for a team. I just don't get it. Its not like we don't have talent.

 

[Help?]

You don't have experience. The only thing you can do is hope that this group of players remains intact for a few more years and then they will be a true force to be reckoned with. Right now you are an equivalent to United 95-96, you NEED to hold on to your players to gain consistent success.

Hoping so.......thats the only motivation honestly. We haven't even spent as much as Tottenham and still play at the highest level. And i pray this Kroenke brings back David Dein.

And high five Ilaje we should raid Ajax. the best player factory in the history of football. their players can't stop winning........looking at Seedorf.

Is anybody surprised that Arsenal didn't win? Anytime they are back in the title race, like clockwork, they tie or lose.

 

[poet11]

no

 

[poet11]

I would be satisfied if we hold on to second place at least.

In the summer we must spend otherwise it would be difficult to compete in anything. Even the top 4 will be a big challenge. Lets see the events throughout the summer. We must win something and anything.

 

[Help?]

I'm only not surprised because its Tottenham at White Hart Lane. Arsenal managed to get 3 goals and that's already very good. But that defense of theirs was never gonna keep a clean sheet against Spurs.

 

[poet11]

yes but the Huddlestone goal i think was the poorest to concede you need pressurize that or try to block it atleast. goals in dying seconds.......story of the season......on the verge of half time goals cost us many games for nothing. the main problem isnt the defence its those errors made by them due to lack of maturity

 

[Help?]

Its like saying the problem is not with Bendtner being an average striker its just that he simply can't get 30 goals a season. Your current defense is young and inexperienced and those things go hand in hand with mistakes like that. Don't be expecting them to put in Vidic-like performances.

 

[poet11]

Thats what i said. They are'nt just MATURED enough..... thats the point everyone is making of not having experienced players and we NEED them BAD. thats it

 

[Help?]

You said "the main problem isnt the defense". And I said the main problem IS the defense. Your first team defense isn't experienced enough yet, nevermind your current backup defense, so you can't be expecting them to perform flawlessly.

 

[mvanegmond04]

Wenger needs to stop putting youth in important games (eg. FA Cup Final). He needs to BUY experienced players that can do the job. Sure it worked out with Walcott, Wilshere and Sczcesny. But some of these guys arent ready for such a big step. Only one youth player we should be concentrating on - Ryo Miyaichi. He has been a revelation since hes been at Feyenoord and cant wait to see him get the chance. He is it. We really need to starting buying players.

Wenger needs to stop putting youth in important games (eg. FA Cup Final).

The thing is that your most senior players are kids themselves lol. IMO nothing wrong with Arsene. Its just that once your players grow up, they decide to leave for some reason. e.g. Adebayor, Toure, Pires, Henry etc.

Imagine if Toure stayed for e.g. He would've been an ideal role model for the kids in defense and Arsenal wouldn't have so much defensive troubles.

I'm not sure if buying experienced players would help. I think what you need is established experienced players rather than foreigners who themselves have to settle in and get familiar with the team. For e.g. Arshavin or Chamakh were relatively experienced players when they came (26-27ish) but they have hardly been influential on the youngsters.

 

[poet11]

What Arsene has been doing is a great achievement in my point of view. He thought further ahead due to the new stadium and brought in youngsters and the greats we had were on the verge of retirement. He did fantastic business in selling a few them. Now the the structure of the club in every aspect is very efficient and progressive and the future of the club is bright without a doubt.

Now what he and the club must do is keep the players together and sell the unwanted ones at a reasonably good price. Then must bring in players with attributes that are needed to fulfill the gaps remaining in the squad who have quality of course but most importantly mental qualities also. They must be dedicated and loyal to whatever is going on in Arsenal. We don't need too many as we do have Vermaelen who is the captain of his national team and Nasri who wore the armband for France in his last game. Then we have Wilshere one of the very best young players in the world who represents England and he is no Walcott.

I as a fan will be very satisfied if we start winning one or two trophies from next season. And I won't even take Messi or CR7 or Iniesta in exchange of the philosophy of our whole system not just the playing style. Because if we can reach the heights in this way it would be something special in the modern english game. bdw a little bit alteration in the playing style would be great...........THE DEFENSIVE TACTICS AND SOMETIMES CHANGE OF FORMATION AND TACTICS CONSIDERING OPPONENTS AND NOT USING THE SAME TEAM OVER AND OVER AGAIN ITS NOT SPAIN!!!!!

BUT MY REQUEST TO WENGER WOULD BE IF YOU GO FOR PLAYERS IN THE SUMMER............LOOK AT SCOTT PARKER AND LEIGHTON BAINES AND THEY SHOULD BE MAIN TARGETS.

 

[Help?]

Arsenal have a salary cap to keep themselves financially stable, that's why top experienced players like Adebayor, Toure, Pires, Hleb, Cole, Gallas all left because they would make at times 1.5 times as much as they would at Arsenal. The young players don't mind because they just want to develop and Arsenal is the top place for it, but once they developed and what to get as much money as possible, they have to leave. Arsenal's total salary is something like half as much as what United and Chelsea pay.


So unless Kroenke is prepared to shell out of his own pocket a big sum of money, then forget about Parker or Baines at Arsenal. Considering that Kroenke is a businessman not a rich oil magnate, then you can forget about Parker or Baines already.

This is your club, you should know these kind of things

 

[poet11]

i know all that and i don't think they are gonna do anything about it. Just hoping they would because otherwise it would be difficult to hold on to Nasri specially if Fab stays next season and he is stuck on the wings all the time. RVP is settled well in London and is 28 now he may not leave untill his contract is off and looks very loyal. I don't really care a hell lot about Fabregas staying or not but more about RVP and Nasri.

Baines is a dream for me but I also know in my brain he would most probably end up at Liverpool or United but still I can hope. Parker is more than possible if West Ham get relegated or if someone could convince him with some decent money and to strike a partnership with Wilshere in midfield which could make him a fixture in the England team and even the starting 11.

Anyways transfer talk is second priority at the moment as the whole situation at Arsenal is confusing.And its highly unlikely we will make more than one or two signings but we do need atleast 3 or 4 to win next season.

 

[Mandieta6]

1st goal: Daniel Sturridge, a Chelsea player.
2nd goal: Tamir Cohen, an Israeli player.

Gotta say I'm pleased.

And if you want ANY chance of winning the title (forget about it, I mean, we have), then do us a favor and beat ManU.
