Lukas was only 21 when he transferred to Bayern. He was very young, and his attitude did not seem right to me. Also, he was often injured and had to face a strong competition with Miroslav Klose. Bayern Munich is a top club in Europe and the world. There is hardly a unique position for a single player. You have to prove yourself in every practice. In my opinion, the change to Munich was too early
My message to the haters is this: I cannot urge you enough to continue to follow the mantra 'In Arsene we trust', to follow the man with the sleeping bag looking coat, the man with that symbolic red tie, and to ignore the likes of Piers Morgan championing the term 'In Arsene we rust'. You must must must must MUST have faith, he is the man and we will return soon enough. With the announcement today that Pep Guardiola will be stepping down from Barcelona at the end of the season to take a few years out, much talk has emerged
Robin van Persie is more than due a goal from open play as he hits his first rut of the season and it will be interesting to see how he combines with Gervinho. When Gervinho replaced the hamstrung Walcott last weekend, he looked sharp and immediately gave us a link from the right of the pitch, something that Theo was struggling to do in that game.
At the weekend, we travel to the Neanderthal Stadium to face Stoke and Tony Pulis. By no means an easy task. Without Arteta and Walcott for the remainder of the season, with with Newcastle breathing down our necks like an angry donkey, now is not the time for one of ‘those’ Arsenal performances rife with calamitous defending. We need to unite to progress. We need to really go all guns blazing to obtain 9 points from our remaining game - a points tally that absolutely guarantees the
Another person who has not yet been linked to Arsenal but whom I feel we should seriously look at is Mathieu Flamini . The combative central midfielder is a free agent come this summer and we will definitely need another midfielder because there is the African Cup of Nations. There is a chance we may lose both Alex Song and Emmanuel Frimpong during this period and even though we have Fracis Coquelin whom almost every Gooner rates highly he is still relatively young and therefore prone to occasional lapse in concentration . That role is too important in our team to rely on only the youngster to do the
What’s been frustrating of late, has been watching us look out of ideas with no real ‘Plan B’, looking predictable and so unable to penetrate the oppositions defence with our passing, for all Van persie’s great attributes, being an aerial threat isn’t one of them and if we are to really challenge for silverware next season we are going to have to have answers for these types of situations, (I’m thinking Wolves at home, Sunderland away, QPR away, Wigan home) and by answers yes I mean a target man. What we need isn’t only a target man but in a sense a complete striker, like a Dider Drogba if you like, a striker who with his physical presence can cause the opposition
In the first half Aaron Ramsey thought he had more time than he actually had and was dispossessed on a few occasions. It was telling that he improved dramatically when Diaby came on in the second half and allowed Ramsey to play further forward. Although we were not at our best, we still fashioned enough good chances to have won the game. van Persie met a Walcott free kick at the far post but could not steer it in, Koscielny headed onto the crossbar after yet another free kick, this time from Robin van Persie. Cech blocked van
monsieur Wenger never plans for them. There is always an excuse of some sort every season injuries blah blah blah no wonder those comedians at Talksport mock arsenal. Wenger has forgot how to be a winner he thinks he can keep hiding behind these excuses and figures forever every season for over 6 years. I tell you next season will be his last if he tries it again most Arsenal fans are fed up. Its like Arsenal is on replay every season like a Poirot episode in which he never solved the murder, in this case the Professor Wenger still
