The first thing Wenger needs to do

[KozIsCul]

is forget what he thinks he knows about the team or its players and chill out in his office for a couple of days and watch some game tape. Let Pat Rice supervise practice for a while (if he doesn't already) & see if he can figure out why we've lost ten games in the League or whatever it is.

We've had a decent run of form and some aspects that have looked bad for a long time have actually shown some signs of improvement. But this may just be dumb luck. We'll know for sure in the next month or so. But, some problems have yet to be addressed, in particular:

1. Few real chances generated from lots of possession, even possession in dangerous areas.

2. The entire team except for Thierry Henry looks mentally unprepared in front of goal.

I'd feel better about these, in addition to the ones that look like they're improving, if I thought Le Boss actually saw them and was working on fixing them, instead of just going through the daily routine.

I think you may need to sit in an office by yourself for a few days. Did you ever give a thought to the idea that AW had some clue as to what he was doing and the younger, lesser experienced players are begining to learn the AW way and are starting to play as he thought they would? I think there may have been some underestimations and some mistakes, but considering the injuries and the younger players, the team is starting to gel and are getting confidence.

These "AW has lost it" plots are unfounded IMO.

Yes, all the time until ~6 mos. ago.

Let's hope so. We're on a decent run of form. But what is our "equilibrium state" as it were, the last 4 games, or the team that lost ten League games. We need to make sure it's the former.

I'm amazed that you lost confidence in AW's abilities so quickly. After 1 month of this season (6 months ago) you saw that the team was in an awful slide that called for dramatic changes? The club is in 5th place for the first time in 8-9 seasons. During this slip 9 players have played LB. There have been as many as at least 10 first and backup players on the injured list. Through all of this the team has still been able (though not as regularly until late) been able to put together able wins. I think a few months leeway should be granted to the person who has accomplished so much in the last 9 seasons. That is just my opinion, but I find it amazing when people cut and run at the first sign of any trouble.

The "fire the manager" at scenario at the first sign of any dip in performance has really works wonders. Look at RM.:rolleyes:

During the liverpool game after Kolo's tackle, I turned to the guy beside me and said. "Great we've now lost 2 starting cbs, 1 starting left back, 1 back up left back, 1 right back, a reserve cb. I'd be surpised if any defenders ever sign for Arsenal ever again. The u15 CB must be fearing airplane parts falling from the sky and killing while they're out buying a bag of crisps!"

An injury crisis, is one thing, I feel like Arsenal have gone to war.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to surfcam again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You must like being 7th in the League table.

There is a world of difference between disliking and over-reacting or reacting wrongly though

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but can I ask if you have any experience in managing or coaching football?

I only ask because you is talking bollix!

1. Few real chances generated from lots of possession, even possession in dangerous areas.While the whole post is utter shite, I must take exception to this point in particular. We regularly make way more chances than our opponents and we regularly waste most of them. This is not a new thing, if we'd taken the chances we made when on the unbeaten run we would have betaen most teams 10-0, with the rest only getting away with a 6-0 drubbing. Liverpool should have been two or three down by the time they equalised on Sunday and Real Madrid should have been about seven down over the two legs by the time Raul hit the post. You either don't watch the games or are deliberately on a wind up.

I usually don't respond to your posts because they're mostly drivel, like I don't respond to ZANI posts ever, but this one shows a spectacular lack of knowledge about the subject.
