Seriously, when will Wenger run out of piss poor excuses and actually buy some decent players with backbone? Its getting embarrassing and Id much rather have Arsenal as our main title rivals than the scouse or the chavs...fuck sake someone tell him to get it sorted!

This is probably one of the biggest differences between Sir Alex and Wenger. Sir Alex may be very, very stubborn but he has changed with the times and when something hasnt worked out, he's changed it. Wenger is sticking with what was always a very ambitious and unlikely plan of berthing almost a full team of prospects into genuine title contenders, all at the same time. He's never done it before and its clearly a bridge too far at the moment, but is he likely to conceed defeat this summer and go back on the policies that have brought him to this point over the past 5 years? Nah.

The man doesn't show any adaption to the circumstances that surround him. Look at the Van Persie situation, he's known before hand that he's not coming back for a long long time and instead of getting a decent replacement he would rather play Arshavin upfront. (Please don't get me started on why Almunia is yet to be replaced) What chance does he have? He's going against the tallest center backs, how is he going to win headers or truly challenge for the ball? What ever happened to buying that Chamakh lad? January was a fantastic opportunity. Look at what formation they are playing, Arshavin can not lead the line and neither can Eduardo! His former big tall striker, who could have done it perfectly is now at Shitty but that's another story. Ballack said after the Chelsea game, that they know how Arsenal are going to play, it's pretty much the same story every single time. They continue to play their short passess with no real substance, always trying to score the perfect goal, against Portsmoth and co it's great but against big teams it's not the biggest struggle to defend against. After they drew against Villa, Wenger complimented them on playing a old fashioned, long ball English game. Well It may have been a backhanded compliment, who knows but yes, not every team is going to try play the same way as Arsenal do and it is up to Wenger to try and adapt his play to such tight situations. I mean, even Stoke exploited Arsenal's lack of cutting edge when it gets tough. I mean they are capable of adapting, we saw it last year against Liverpool at Anfield in that entertaining 4-4 draw. The scousers dominated the game but Arsenal looked to attack them quickly on the break and were alot more incisive in their play then again maybe I'm analyzing it wrong. It seemed they can up the tempo when the going gets tough. Their performance against Chelsea was like watching the same move on repeat for 90 minuites, it was almost sad to see. It was like watching Homer get shocked in the simpsons and continue to touch the wire over and over again. Nasri was played in, and guess what he does  yes, he looks for the very difficult pass.Drogba's second goal conveyed just how simple football can be, not a billion passess, just quick and efficient which was also conveyed in our counter attacks at their stadium. Now this may sound silly, but I think it explains Wenger's inability to adapt. Now, we know Bendtner has been out of the team for quite a long time, but isn't it worth taking the risk of playing him to lead the line instead of playing one of the shortest players in the premiership upfront? Arsenal's whole title plans were on the line on Sunday, I think it's times like this where risk should be taken. When he did bring the Dane on, it was too late. Sometimes I get the feeling that it's actually Wenger hindering this team, I can a small feeling that a different manager can get this team to have more cutting edge in their football, especially against the bigger teams. A different manager can be more decisive in the transfer market to replace crucial areas or adapt to situations such as Van Persie's long term injury. Then again I may be wrong. |

His ego is getting in the way of the clubs success. He seems hellbent on copying Sir Alex and winning the league with kids. One glaring error is that we had Cantona to lead the team, instead of Fabregas, a young fella who goes missing when a top team comes to town.
