Disappointment again for all the Arsenal fans after falling prey to Chelsea and losing the Super Sunday clash 4-1. A lot was not expected today from Arsenal, but still the fans were expecting a better result for Arsenal. Unfortunately, despite Arsenal’s attacking mentality and free flowing football, Arsene Wenger’s tactic’s went wrong yet again today. Although I would agree to the fact that in terms of quick passing and moves, Arsenal was playing very well but the problem was revealed when Chelsea gained the possession and came attacking towards the Arsenal goal.
Arsene Wenger tells everyone that this team has great potential, but I am sorry to say that players like Alex Song and Denilson, might have potential, but that potential is not upto Arsenal’s standards. There were two main areas that I could identify left a loop hole for Chelsea to exploit. The first problem lies at the position of the holding mid-fielder, and by now we all know that Alex Song or Denilson is NOT the solution to that. Why can’t Arsene see it himself? Or is he just too stubborn to understand and accept what everyone is seeing? Flamini gave us that edge, and we never retained him. We need a strong player with the right mentality and with the right confidence who can play for Arsenal, we need a proper solution!
The second position is the Arsenal defense, and we need to fix it. I can’t get one thing… correct me if I am wrong. We sold Sol Campbell when he was about 30 and didn’t give him a contract extension to retain him. Similarly, we let go of Lauren, Vieira and even Pires and never thought of giving them longer contract extensions because of the Arsenal policy of not giving more than a year contracts to players who are aged 30 or more. Do you think we should have got Sylvestre or Gallas who were nearing 30, and that too, both from our RIVAL teams? Why don’t we get this policy shit straight then? Why did we need to lose our loyal players to get players almost the same age from our rival teams…? Well.. Forget it! I just don’t know what else to say…
The point is .. that after the 3-1 defeat against Manchester United all the fans were expecting a better result today from Arsenal and Arsene’s tactics so that the fans and the club could regain atleast some honour back. It is such a pity … that the result was even worse.. 4-1… and that too at the Emirates Stadium!!
One more thing that I cannot understand is that, why does Wenger always use the 4-5-1 formation when that never works for us? It was the same against Manchester United.. and the same against Chelsea today! On top of that, previously when Wenger was asked if he was looking at getting some new signings in the summer after the Champions League knock out… and Mr. Arsene Wenger replied in his own typical way that when Diaby and Bendtner is already in the squad, bringing someone else would be unfair to them…
I am speechless now… I am just speechless because I am pissed to the core!!
