Talk about exaggeration

It's not an exaggeration, it's only subtle differences but it's the critical points that make the difference.
They've had these little problems for years, how many now since they won something?
Correct me if I'm wrong;
their goalkeeper is shit - Almunia, seriously. Compared to Cech/VDS/Reina?
they are suspest at left back - Gibbs and Clichy are good, but they are suspect
Vermaelen is more like a holding midfielder than a centre half - Just an opinion of mine
lightweight in midfield - As we've seen in the last two weeks
no width - Play a narrow defence and let them swing in crosses and you'll clean up against them
no plan B - A known fact
no plan C - See above
hate physical games/teams - Hence why they lose to the likes of Bolton/Stoke
injury prone strikers - Van Persie and Eduardo
no depth - Not in comparison to United/Chelsea
no winning mentality - How many players in their side have won trophies?
defeatist attitude running throughout the club - See Arshavin's comments the other day.
