[Ratings] Same old Arsenal, So what will Wenger’s excuses be this time?

International break ….or the ref….NOOO, We looked jaded IMO

The sad fact is that is “Same old Arsenal” Go up north on a cold wet day and didnt turn up.

Were was that fighting sprit that Wenger keeps banging on about? … I saw loads from the player we should have signed in the summer in Cana. He didnt give Cesc and kick. And when i told you that we made a big mistake in not signing him you all said “Who is he? And who are sunderland” Well eat your words.

Its so sad that one injury to RVP has shown how weak we are.Like i said at the start of the season, Just wait till we start picking up a few knocks to key players and watch us fall apart…”SAME OLD ARSENAL”

Well this is what you get for not signing in the summer Mr Wenger.

My Ratings
Almunia ( 5-5 ) Poor,At fault for the goal. Slow off his line and overal crap)
Sagna (6-5) Not his best game
Gallas (7-0) Pretty solid
Vermaelen (6-0) Outjumped by Bent on the cornor for the goal
Traore (6-5) Same as Sagna
Ramsey (6-0) Looked weak
Cesc (6-0) Very poor, Owned by Cana
Song (8-0) Our best player
Nasri (6-5) Didnt look up for the fight
Rosicky (6-5) See above
Eduardo (5-5) Missed our best chance, Didnt even hit the target. He cant play up top in a 4-5-1

Scoring Scoring Arsenal. Who needs Adebayor?

36 Goals in 11 games so far this season and a average of 3 goals a game. Without doubt we are the best attacking team in the league and maybe this bunch of players are the best we have had for sometime. And all without Adebayor  (Clap)

So whats changed?

Personally I feel Cesc is key to all of this. He seems to get a goal or an assist every game. He is now playing more forward and linking the game.

Song is doing the defensive job well and this is allowing our flair players like Cesc, Arshavin and Co to do what it is they do best.

Van Persie is now leading the line well and scoring goals.

Plus the likes of Eduardo, Bendtner, Walcott, Nasri, Diaby can all score goals. Plus we have Gallas & Vermalen who can score goals.

So this proves that Wenger was RIGHT in not bringing in a replacement for Adebayor.

At this rate we are going to score more then 100 goals this season.. And with £20m in the bank.

Arsenal cant even hold a lead and kill a team off

So many times in recent years.

We take the lead, seem to be on our way to winning the game and then screw up.

We cant seem to kill the game off and we allow the other team a route back into the game by us sitting back rather then trying to score the killer goal.

We just cant defend, so why do we sit back? attack is the best form of defence.

But how many times have we been 1 or even 2 goals up and only to draw the game or lose.? I can name loads, Beating Chavski in the semi finals 1-0, Beating Liverpool 4-2 and drawing 4-4, Dito with Spurs, Being 2-0 up vs Brum.This season beating man utd 1-0 and losing 2-1.

And many many more.

It shows complacency and at times we show a lack of fight in the battle, Teams like West Ham, Hull, Stoke cant play better football then us of course but they all show more fight.

But yet Wenger bangs on about the mental strength,spirit and belief. Cant he see that this team has NO Leader and a lack of heart.

After West ham scored to make it 2-1 there was only one team that looked up for the game, We didnt look up for the battle at all.

We need winners in our team like Keown and Adams, With Players like Song, Diaby, Eboue and Mannone in our side we are never going to win anything.

Wenger cant see that we need winners in our team. Maybe not the most gifted players but the type that would take a boot in the head for the team.

We have a team of primadonna’s who think they just have to turn up, put the kit on, and they think they’ve got a divine right to win the game.

When the going gets tough, The tough aint at Arsenal

[RATINGS] Arsenal throw it away – AGAIN!

West Ham

2-2

Arsenal

Déjà vu?

2-0 at half time and the game is won right? Win this and we are only 1 pts behind Man Utd with a game in hand.
But yet again we throw it away, 2nd time in a week, Late goals and yet again we failed to kill the game off.

I would say we were unlucky today but how many times has this happened? 2 many….

Ratings

Mannone : 6.0 ( Weak push out for the first goal, The rookie keeper look just what he is today)

Sagna : 7.0 ( Crossed for the first goal and was much better going forward this week )

Clichy : 6.5 ( A decent game )

Gallas : 7.5 ( Scored a good header and solid at the back, Back to his best – MOTM )

Vermaelem : 7.0 ( Did well to control the dangerous Carlton Cole )

Song : 6.0 ( Giveaway the pen, Looked clumsy and didn’t need to tackle in the box with the player going away from goal )

Diaby : 5-5 ( Gave away the freekick outside the box from which the first goal came from and overall a poor game, Again )

Arshavin : 6.5 ( Not his best game )

Van Persie : 7.5 ( Scored again but should of won the game in the last min with a free header that was saved by Greeen )

Cesc : 7.0 ( Didn’t have a great game apart from one long range shot didn’t do anything of note )

Eboue : 6.5 ( Showed some good pace but wasteful with the ball )

I really cant wait for Nasri to come back and replace Diaby.

Samir Nasri is only a few days away from a first team return and i cant wait. The French international played 60 minutes for the Reserves on Tuesday night as part of his comeback.

Abou Diaby has been filling in for Nasri in recent weeks and has done “OK” but you never know what Diaby is going to turn up? One week he looks like a world class player, Big strong, hard to knock off the ball. And the next hell looks like Carlton Palmer with the ball glued to his boots.

Diaby can be fantastic one week and a nightmare the next.

Thats why I’m so happy to have Nasri back in the midfield and i feel this new 4-3-3 will work a dream with Song holding and Cesc and Nasri pulling the strings.

When Nasri returns he will be like a new signing for us and give the whole team a boost and i hope to the glory of winning the title.

Bienvenue de retour Samir Nasri

[TEAM NEWS] Mannone STARTS ahead of Almunia again

Vito Mannone has  again been given the number 1 over Manuel Almunia, who remains on the substitutes bench.

SO is Mannone our new number 1? Almunia is clearly not regarded as first-choice, and is being deliberately sidelined by the manager.  In the mean-time, Mannone is probably only keeping the gloves warm until the return of Lukasz Fabianski, who will be fit in the next couple of weeks.

CONFIRMED TEAMS

Arsenal: Mannone, Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Clichy, Song, Diaby, Fabregas, Eboue, Arshavin, van Persie.

Subs: Almunia, Silvestre, Gibbs, Merida, Ramsey, Wilshere, Vela.

Alkmaar: Romero, Jaliens, Moreno, da Silva, Schaars, El Hamdaoui, Martens, Poulsen, Dembele, Moisander, Holman.

Subs: Didulica, Lens, Klavan, Wernbloom, van der Velden, Swerts, Pelle.

Gazidis warns Wenger “Its time to win a trophy”

Well said Ivan Gazidis, You speak on behalf of all the fans

Manager Arsene Wenger has been warned that it is time his Arsenal team started to win a trophy by club chief executive Ivan Gazidis.

Arsenal  have not won any silverware since 2005, and there is a burgeoning feeling amongst the club’s hierarchy that things must change quickly.

“It’s absolutely our ambition to win a trophy this year. I couldn’t be more clear on that,” Gazidis told the Daily Star Sunday.

“Second, third or fourth isn’t good enough. We want to win something this season and we believe we have the squad to do that.”

Gazidis acknowledges that Wenger has built a fine young side that plays beautiful football, but insisted it is time for the youngsters to deliver.

“We have created and developed a team playing fantastic football. It’s wonderful to watch and very exciting at times,” he added.

“We’ve spoken about the group’s potential. Now, and by now I mean this season, it’s very important for us to focus strongly on winning something for the fans. They deserve it.

“We can talk about football as a business but, fundamentally, this club exists for the fans and they don’t care about financial reports, they care about what happens on the pitch.”

[Video] Arda Turan wants a move to Arsenal

Arda Turan is a natural winger we have not had since Pires, Great news coming from his agent that Arda would welcome a move to Arsenal and work under Wenger, The agent also confirmed that we (Arsenal ) have made contact with him. Lets hope something happens. Arda is a real star and under wenger can become one of the best players in world football…

Galatasaray winger Arda Turan is interested in joining Arsenal next summer. The 22-year-old winger, who has 34 caps for his country, was linked with the Gunners and Premier League rivals Liverpool last January, however the Turkish sensation is desperate to work under Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

The player’s agent Ahmet Bulut spoke exclusively to Sport.co.uk Editor Nigel Brown:

“At this moment in time I have no contact with any clubs. I had a lot of interest in the summer for him, but the club did not want to sell him, even for £50 or a £100 million. Arda is the best player in Turkey at the moment.He is now the new captain of Galatasaray and the club has new elections for President in March, so I don’t think he will be sold in January. However, I do think he will be sold in July. I think they will sell him in the summer.

“There are lots of big European clubs interested in him. In the summertime Arsenal made contact regarding him, but the club did not want to sell. We also had offers from Spain, Italy and Germany.”

When asked if he thought Arsene Wenger would rekindle his interest in the player, Bulut replied:

“I hope so. He is interested in working under Arsene Wenger because he is very good at working with young players, and Arda wants to work in England. As I said there was interest from other clubs around Europe but his first choice is England.

“Arsenal are interested, and if they want him, Arda’s first choice is Arsenal.”

Thanks to Sport.co.uk
