I am just waiting for those who have been insanely critical of our team, players and manager to slowly start taking notice about what Wenger is creating. It will not be long before the media, pundits and a section of fans to start jumping on the bandwagon
I would go as far as to say that he was our best attacking player on the day. He played a part in our first goal by beating his man and finding Cesc, he effectively tracked back to help Sagna and contributed to some great pass and move football
I had a couple of issues with our new formation though, as much as i liked it because it seems more offensive and it involves more attacking participation from many players and less reliance on one man. my main concern is having van persie as a main striker
I guess that we will adopt the 4-2-3-1 with Arshavin and Bendtner supporting Van Persie whenever we are in possession of the ball in the final third
Thomas Vermaelen has come in, and looks like he’ll be replacement for Kolo Toure. All early indications of his performance in Arsenal colours look good. He’s very strong, and very determined. He is good in the air-at least as good as Kolo is
Think of the encounter against Wigan in December, where we got a champion result despite a very un-champion performance by sneaking two goals in the dying embers of the match. The first-half showing at Villa Park was a work of art
Many subjects are being extracted from his comments over the last few days. Especially the fact that he says that he doesn't see incidents to protect his players
I firmly believe that we have all the pieces of the puzzle, perhaps Wenger can bring in some shiny reinforced pieces but the overall picture can be put together by Arsene
Should we be satisfied saying, oh we got to the semis in the cl? That frankly is Arsene's crap, Arsenal is a big club, and we might have got there because of him but that doesnt mean we owe him the right to forgive him
I find it weird how some fans have seen the success we have had by bringing in an almost unknown 16 year old to one of the best midfield players in the world.
