   Spot on Recardo…we need to have ‘some’ faith in our team..but with performance like yesterday..i wonder whether our faith are getting reward…three trophyless season..&*(*&*&*..BTW..Wenger knew that our defensive unit is not that good..why in the first place he didn’t play Arshavin/Vela/Bendnter?…anyway..hope the players morale will not be badly affected…maybe miracle can happen…UCL/EPL anyone?

   A win at anfield would be a big confidence boost going into the man.u game and knowing what liverpool did 2 man .u at old trafford

   Forget the liverpool result against United…what should concern us is that united have all of their players returning and we are loosing them after every match.
   Back for united:
   Ferdinand-who has already shown how important he is to that team
   Brown–who up until he was injured was the best right back in the EPL and gives them that added toughness and experience
   Fletcher is back
   Anderson has returned
   Berbatov is back
   The brazilian rt back is back

   In short, they can now go back to the rotation that was so effective for them earlier in the season and allow players to rest

   We have lost Gallas and Dijourou(sp) for the season
   Clichy is out for 4 weeks–Gibbs is an ok replacement
   Van Persie looks like he hasn’t fully recovered from the groin injury
   Eduardo–can somebody tell me when he will be back

   Pray fellas

   Wenger has lost tactical battles several times this season
   Fulham Away
   Stoke away
   Hull Home
   Spurs Home etc etc
   We have the players but do we have the tactician?
   No disrespect to Pat Rice but if Wenger stays he needs to bring in a strong number 2 with experience

   I am personally impressed that AW has got us to two semi finals this year with the amount of injuries etc to key players, but I truely gutted that we lost this game.

   I was surprised that Song and AA were not playing, but I don’t think it would have mattered what team we put out, we were never going to win with that pitch. The ‘going’ suited Chelski, because they don’t play so much on the ground and they rely on power. This game was always going to be played in the air and I think that’s why he chose to play Diaby (who shouldn’t even be in the squad IMO)I was dissapoointed when I saw the team sheet, but realised we would probably lose when I saw the pitch cut up after 10 minutes. The ball kept catching under the players’ feet and passes were being misplaced and mis-controlled by both sides. I knew then that this would suit the hoof-it merchants of Chelski. FFS – Vinnie Jones and the old Wimbledon team would have been at home on that pitch.

   AW has been magnificent for us and everyone can make mistakes. He should have our full support. Lets face facts, we lost by one late goal to a defensive howler, with five first choice defenders out. Grieve and then move on, but don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

   “AW has been magnificent for us and everyone can make mistakes.”

   Trouble is, after 5 years of mistakes patience is beggining to get a bit thin. First of all, Arsenal are not challenging for the title, and second, every time there is a big big cup game, Wenger nauses it up with his tactics.
