Arsenal Thread

And City would take another step towards completion of their Arsenal sticker album.

I've always liked Vermaelen, especially in his first season because of all the goals he scored. He's got a great left foot, loves to attack a header and is strong and agile. But his mistakes are costly and he's finding it hard to get into the first XI at Arsenal because Mertesacker and Koscielny have such a telepatic relationship and almost never do those mistakes.

He will probably leave indeed in the summer, continuing the tradition of selling captains. I just hope for once Wenger would sell one of his good players to a team outside England.

I'd say sell Bendtner to a Premier League team! :D

Only Real Madrid for Bendtner :D;)
 
Not a fan of signing Vermaelen. 28/29, been dodgy for a few years now and is injury prone. As a backup maybe but I'd prefer to give Vinnie a CB more on his level
 
Vermaelen is a stereotypical Arsenal player, very good ball playing CB but riddled with silly mistakes.

The current first team pairing is the best since 2006.
 
this is the stereotypical Arsenal defender:

Wow Wenger really? Who would turn down 1m pay rise?

I really like wenger , I felt bad for what that clown mourinho said about him :(

Wenger is only turning down that pay hike to send a message to his players. So, many players are asking for a pay hike and how did this get leaked out :P .

This is not the first time Mou spoke in a derogatory manner to the public about Wenger. Its "Voyeur" and "He's a specialist in failure,". They`ll be more from Mou...You could laugh or cry ,but in the end just Deal wit it! :LOL:
 
and why nobody from arsenal protested it? it was a deal or what? :D

p.s. oh wait. looks like I've missed that part. still, imagine this happening in the clasico :LOL:

I give credit to Chelsea they were beyond unstoppable on the day. The game was over at 2 nil. Wenger has not beat a top 4 away from home. Wenger`s Arsenal was sized and measure. Oh happy 1000 match...shit Arsenal, shit gk and shit day :)
 
Arsene Wenger's naïveté never ceases to surprise me. A thousand matches at the helm and the man CAN'T learn?!
ADAPT your game plan and formation to opposition, FFS!

No wonder we get raped playing stronger opposition. We go out to play Chelsea as if we were facing Crystal Palace!

Everyone knows Mourinho's teams are counter attacking ones and he would be looking to aggressively press high up the pitch. That was a given to anyone... except Wenger apparently! He played his old tired game plan, that everyone knows inside out. So predictable.

Not only that, Wenger's game plan turns our fullbacks into wingers most of the time. What happens next is, Chelsea's overtly physical midfield nicks the ball away from Cazorla or Ox and they have a 4 vs 3 counter attacking situation.

Their first 2 goals happened like this, carbon copy to each other. Gibbs was high up the pitch.
But after he got sent off (appalling mistake by the ref BTW) Vermaelen was the left back being caught off guard exactly the same way. We were 0-3 down reduced to 10 men and I don't know what the fuck Wenger wants by sending his fullbacks on a suicidal mission.
So is it Gibbs' and Vermaelen's fault to be caught off guard like that? No, this goes into Wenger's tally.

Going into the 2nd half at 0-4 down, we had more of the same. Defend to try and save some face and dignity? No, let's throw ourselves forward! Our defensive line was very high for their 6th goal by that Egyptian dude, and I don't know what Wenger was trying to achieve there. A negative record for his 1000th match?

In the same way we were exposed to Liverpool's counter attacks and through balls against a high defensive line, today we were exposed to Chelsea's counter by suicidal fullbacks overlapping and careless attacking.

What pains me the most is that if we had played for a draw today, it wouldn't hurt our title chances - by being only 4 points behind Chelsea with a game in hand.

But if I'm brutally honest - a team that can't cope with away matches against top opposition, doesn't deserve to be in a fight for the title.

1000 games for Wenger and he will have a two year contract, which prompts mixed feelings in me. I wanted him to stay with the club and do well.
But I don't see how he can do well, not well enough to win big things again. He simply shows no signs of improvement when playing the top teams.

I've given up hope he will change his approach and turn his team into a bit more cynical, results driven team. The man is a purist and, at 67 years old, it is unreasonable to expect he will learn a thing or two more.
