Yet another painful embarrassing defeat and yet another show of comedy defending by Arsenal under Arsene Wenger.
You can blame the players if you want! .. You can blame players like Nasri leaving the club. You can even blame the ref or the fact that the ball is round.
But for me the only person to blame is our manager.
We all know that Arsene is untouchable at Arsenal!.. The board will never sack the man who’s makes mega money and refuses to spend and is happy with finish in the CL place.
Wenger had all summer to address our weaknesses. But instead he faffed around in the transfer market and left it all till the very last moment and signed panic players. Now we have played 5 games into the season and have 4 points and the worse defense in the league.
After losing 8-2 to Man Utd I didnt think it could get any worse, but 2 own goals and schoolboy defending showed its going to be a long and painful season. Will Arsenal now refund the poor away fans AGAIN!
Arsenal need a lot of this.
Fresh ideas, fresh tactics and most of all… a new change in management!… Arsene is never going to be sacked so thats why I say that Arsene should do the right thing and just walk.
He should of been remembered as our greatest manager. But now he is going down faster then the titanic and will be remembered as a manager who couldn’t address our problems and went 6 years without winning anything and turned a double winning team into a team fighting for 4 place (At best)
His project and principles are killing this club. His tactics of 4-5-1 is clearly the main problem but he is refusing to change.
We wanted Gary Cahill, Mata and Hazard. Wenger didnt want to pay that little bit extra and I hope now he is proud of himself.
Add to that the way he has handed the transfer dealings sums up that Arsene has lost the plot and we need change at Arsenal NOW! … The Wenger OUT page on Facebook now has over 1100 people LINK
My Ratings
Szczesny 6.5 : Nothing he could do with any of the goals. Made a few good saves. Sagna 5.5 : Roasted by the Blackburn winger Mertesacker 4:5 : Ive seen tanks turn faster. Slow and couldn’t handle the overweight Yakubu. Koscielny 3:0 : Mr Panic had a terrible game and finished it off with an own goal. Santos 7.5 : First start and played well. Put in a few decent balls towards the end that Mertesacker and Chamakh should have scored from. Song 7.0 : Played well and set up the first goal but didnt look alive when defended and scored an own goal. Arshavin 6.5 : Played well and had a decent impact on the left wing. Arteta 8.0 : Scored his first goal and was at the heart of everything good. Ramsey 7.0 : Set up Arteta for his goal and played some nice passes. Gervinho 5.5 : Scored early and then got 2 cocky and didnt want to pass. Greedy and frustration. Van Persie 6.0 : No support at all and only looked dangerous when we went 4-4-2. Set up Chamakh’s goal.
Subs Walcott 7.0 : Looked very dangerous with his pace and put in 2 fantastic crosses. Djourou 2.0 : The Arsenal clown, slipping all over the place, going to ground and crossing into row Z. Chamakh 6.0 : Scored 1 great header and then missed an easy chance at the death to make it 4-4
Santos great going forward but defensively all at sea. First goal and third goal was all down to his lack of time in the defence. We should be focusing on easing Mertesacker in first not two defenders in at once. For summer yes but not during the season. Koscielny got lucky on Tuesday but again did not get the offside trap right again were as Mertesacker did get it right along with Sagna
you give santos a fking 7.5 OMG he was responsible for 2 fking goals. twice he put the blackburn player onside, resulting in 2 goals and you hand him a 7.5??????? yes he can cross really good but defended terribly
It is a shame that the tem has become a training place for some fucked players. The likes of Djrou shall not deserve to be here. The manager has lost it. He contradicts himself now and then. No direction, no plan. Everything in chaos.
It is sad that we have become a laughing stock for others.
I really dont want to hammer the guy when he’s down but i would really like to know what Djourou’s IQ is. Every time is see him play i think of that seen in Forrest Gump when Principle says ‘Mrs Gump, you’re is slow’ and then the mum shaggs the principle just so he doesn’t get put in Special school. I can only think Johan’s mum must handing out blow jobs left, rigjht and centre in order to get him to be a pro football player. I cant believe this is the same player that this time last year we were praizing. My head is firmly in the palm of my hands when i see that fool anyway near the team. How can wenger not see it?
I was thinking if it would be worth wenger leaving now and someone else trying to get up the league get a champs league place? i’m not sure at the moment i would prefer tnot to have european football next season and just go for the league but one thing i know is i dont wan to see wenger fail like this anymore. I dont want my memory of him to be tainted like this. He has been brilliant for us but our the last few years it has been like watching someone flog a dead horse. No wonder players are leaving.
I would give Gervinho a higher mark at least he tried to make things happen, van Persie on the other hand i though was quite poor, even when he had the ball, he kept for too long instead of releasing the pass to supporting players.
at the end of the day the fact is that the club is in trouble and if we don’t sort ourselves out we’re in for long hard slog.
i dont know how can u give ramsey 7 while all wat he was doing is to slow our game down,the only good thing is the assist for artita’s goal rest of the 90 min doing it like denilson.
walcot 7?! wat a joke
Don’t agree with your player ratings at all. Sagna didn’t ge ‘fried’ by the winger, did you realize we conceded 3 goals after he was off? And Gervinho, he was by far my best player on pitch. Greedy at times, but was full of endeavours from the first to the last minute. Then Ramsey got high marks!!! How on earth, he had no contender for the booby’s prize. Slowed down our game, gave possession away 90percent of the time, gave them that last goal, just terrible all round. Today, we have seen the wisdom in selling the clownish Eboue, without Sagna we just can’t cope at rightback. Djorou has failed everywhere he has played. Koscielny is an amazing defender, but the system don’t help him, the playerss around him make him look ordinary, just like Silvestre n Denilson made Vermaelen look terrible 2 years ago against Barca. In a nutshell Arsene must go, in three seasons he has seen these team defend like mediocres and haven’t found an antidote. Don’t forget Schezny still saved some potential goals. Shit managers produce shit teams, and that is the level we presently are: our own arrogantly hewed world of shit. Give Wenger one more season with this team and even Van Persie will retrograde. ‘Get off the bus you arrogant french clown.’ The team wouldn’t have conceded a single goal today if we had Cahill and Eboue instead of Djorou and Metersacker.
It’s a pity to see what Wenger has done of this big club—arsenal. He should leave if he has some dignity.And that guy who has responsibility to recruit new players must have both his eyes elsewhere.Poor fellow.What a shame.Mertesacker should not have been recruited.Oh God what will he do against Man City,Chelsea and Man United.Go back to France,Mr Wenger!
whos asking to spend money from their pocket just sprnd the money you got from cesc,nasri,thomas,clichy combined 70million.what he did bought average players now he is suffering and making us suffer more.i think awenger some how loves djouru always a liablity.force him to buy world class not 5and6million.disgrace
I’ve always said it doesn’t matter what players you bring in, if you don’t know tactics, and can’t motivate and inspire them, then the team will underperform. The problem is with the manager, and has been for a number of years now.The man is a shell of what he was. He’s had more time than he’s entitled to have. Piss off Wenger.
” In Arsene we rust.”
This has been long in coming with a management like we have at Arsenal They have dismantled a wining team and left us with the carcass of a once dynamic team, feared by most and respected by all. Every year for the past few seasons we have sold most of the experienced and promising players.
Before the fans start to put all the blame on commentators and pundits who ‘hate’ Arsenal, they should look closer to home, because the way I see it, the conceited few who manage the club are destroying it. They are fiddling while Arsenal sinks into oblivion.
Seriously, fire Djourou. He stinks so bad, that even blind people say “what a clown!” He showed time and again from prvious games that he can’t tackle. An d he showed that again by costing Arsenal a goal. He can’t cross, stand, slide… or at all play football. Paying him to play is outragious. Miquel is already a better center back. Djourou needs to go. Koscielny didn’t have an all bad day, he intercepted and read the play well, but unfortunately he panics like a little girl alone on the bus and cries after scoring an own goal. Mertesacker also sucked. For such a reputation, he seems not to be able to mark his man or command his fellow defender to put up a decent line. Both centerbacks could do wit a long training in marking and positioning. Santos paniced a little, and didn’t have control, but seing how Gibbs performed lately, Santos is never going to lose his place. Sagna was good. I don’t thinbk he gave a way much space to Hoilett, and acted at times as a wide midfielder, putting in superb crosses. His mark is totally unfair. Walcott as usual, didn’t do any harm to the BR defenders. He runs, get’s fouled, and get’s up and runs again. He is useless. Arshavin should play through the middle. He is less useful on the wing, but given space, he can pass, shoot and dribble. He is always much more dangerous in the middle, why not play him where Fab used to play? And Arteta and Song can stay behind as deep laying playmakers. BTW, Song was immense. What a ballwinner. Tireless, always in control. Dominant. Impressive. Ramsey is to slow and indecisive. Grow up Welshman, and then talk about replacing Cesc. Also, for a man with 10 assists last season, Gervinho didn’t seem to be able to pass very well… or even try.
As usual, all the play, zero points. Laughable defending, even from the big german. Attacking is impotent. The passing is to slow at times, and the worst part is – no movement off the ball whatsoever. Even Cesc woul dstruggle to play a pass in the current Arsenal team. They all stand still! How many times did Arteta and Ramsey raise their arms when they were on the ball to indicate that they need passing options? I counted at least 12. For a passing team playing free flowing football like Arsenal, that is totally unacceptable.
But the good thins is that the ridiculous clown Jenkinson didn’t even make the bench. He is a worse purchase than Sygan and Jefferson.
But I have an idea for Wenger: Next season, if you still keep the job, challange yourself even bigger! Sell RvP, Wilshere, Szczesny, Vermaelen, Sagna and Song, replace them by promoting 12 youth players and buy 3 ligue 2 players, and try to win something!! Go for it! This year you only sold 3 of the key players, bought crap and promoted even bigger crap, so why not escalade next year?
Arsenal do look bad. But what do excpect Wenger to do. Theres only so much you can do with the talent and hand. Its very very rare that a club in trouble switching coaches helps, and in Arsenal’s case this is even more so because of the players that are there specifically to play Wenger’s style. As a fan I say we wait it out fot the holiday break and if things havent begun to straighten out then Wenger is gone, additionally this would give the Arsenal front office time to actually find a suitable replacement and to target players who are able to play this replacements style.
Anyone who thinks a manager should be sacked after his new 5 signings have only played 3 games together is a retard and should resign from writing blogs….
It sucks when someone that is a Librarian thinks he knows more than a Carpenter… or an IT Specialist getting told what to do by a Baker, in essence this is what is happening here.
We are 3 games in with new signings, if a new manager comes in things are not guaranteed to improve.
We looked dangerous going forward in patches, it was Santo’s first game for us… we are not going to win the league but after these players gel we should get 4th.
Liverpool went through this last season and they finished really strong, is not Wenger’s fault that blog writers who poison the minds of gullible readers are so incredibly narrow minded, is unfortunate most people can’t think for themselves in a rational way.
We are not going to be able to compete with the Manchester Clubs or Chelsea for a while, to me a philosophy on how to do things right is more important than cheating your way to the top.
If we ever get a sugar daddy and start signing world class players from money that does not belong to us I will stop watching football altogether, is plastic success, does not mean anything… well, not to me anyway, I don’t know how Chelsea or Man City fans can feel pride in supporting mercenaries.
WTF is an escalade? your contribution just about sums up this blog
Arsenal DON’T need a change of manager , board , stadium , coach or whatever else you , in your infinite wisdom and indisputable tactical knowledge proclaim , all they need is a change of LUCK
Yes luck , you know that liitle bit of unfathomable entity that at the moment seems to have deserted the club. Facts , 1 goal offside 2 own goals and a nailed on penalty against walcott , 69% possession 23 attempts at goal 14 corners with stats like that and lady luck favors us we walk away with 3 points , somebody is going to get stuffed in the near future and it will probably be the club just down the road , you know the one you really support
The ROT began when the french gaffer started dismantling the invinclibles …henry,vieria.gliberto etc and DID NOT REPLACE them and more recently flamini,hleb and gallas ..and lastly cesc and nasri ..
Look at manu …veterans like giggs and scholes are invaluable to them
How much more of this pittiful shit do we have to stomach before the message gets through?
We will NEVER wim another trophy whilst Wenger is at the healm.
There is a cancer at the club and until it is completeley removed we will continue in our downward spiral to mid table mediocrity.
Wenger has has not four months to sort out the defence but four years and he has dragged his feet which has put us in this position. Koncielny and Djourou shouldnt be anywhere near the team and they would struggle to get in a championship team. Walcott, sagna,chambolikh and arshavin should be set a drift with diaby,rosicky and song ( who gives the ball away too much and does not a have a footballing brain. 1 good pass doesnt make him good), they have all been given a fair crack and have failed miserably.
Dont keep telling me to be careful what i wish for because anything has got to be better that the crap that is embarrassing us week by week. We are a laughing stock and its only going to get worse.
It pains me to say it but spurs will murder us in a few weeks time.
We are fucked big time!!
….. We are playing like a mid table outfit. No flare, no direction and no clue
What a fucking joke!
Wenger collect your coat, you are ruining a proud club. Every dog has his day and yours passed five years ago, just go….please just go!
How on eaerth Koscielny can try and clear a cross with his right foot and score an own goal is beyond me. It was an easy left-footed clearance. Koscielny, Djourou and Mertesacker are not good enough. Why didnt we sign Cahill or Samba as well? We had the money
Doesn’t this remind you of when other clubs have rebuilt? Sometimes you have to go through these tough times. The squad has been transformed, and it has only been three games. The first half that I saw was very promising, but you could see that the new players weren’t all gelling, and you expect that. We just have to ride this part out, but getting on the backs of wenger or whoever isn’t going to make it any easier.
The players at arsenal are constantly under this negative pressure. It’s not just from the media, it’s from their own fans. We’ve gone out to destroy players when they haven’t done well, some of whom could have turned it round, senderos for example. Half the fanbase is chasing vela out the door before he’s been given half a chance at the club, and I imagine it’s not nice to be worrying about the prospect of being booed by your own fans every time you go out to play.
bob mcnabs – did you see cahill aganst Utd? He’s utter crap.
Koscielny kicked the ball that way because of how he was running back, and it came at him too fast, so he couldn’t properly adjust. He’s miles better than bloody cahill.
‘We will buy quality wen we see quality’-quotes 4rm wenger,this is his quality.poor team,but we hav 2 give credit2 bburn,they worked hard,le proffeseur pls resign,pls!
Davi,
I respect your opinion but you need to wake up and take those rose tinted glasses off.
Firstly i have never mentioned Cahill and secondly you have obviously forgotten the embarrassing defeats against united twice in the champs league, defeat to spurs in coca cola cup a few years ago as well as the 4-4 and 3-2 defeat, what about the loss to chelsea at wembley fa cup semi or the fa cup defeat at old trafford, how about home defeat to hull city, i could go on. Our demise isnt a consequence of rebuilding its a consequence of wengers inability to spot weaknesses in the team and it is all now coming to a head.
Unfortunately its supporters like you that are keeping Wenger in a job. He is a spent force and needs to go
As for the ratings above…..
Are you on drugs?
Santos 7.5… he put in a few good balls.
He is a defender first and fortwo of the blackburn goals he played their playes onside as he was too slow moving up! Fair enough it was his debut but you should mark his defending before his attacking.
And how can you give Song 7.0 he a fucking brainless idiot who plays like a robot and doesnt know what going on around him. Sagna and Mertasacker both scored 4 more than they should have. The latter already looks like a reincarnation of stepanovs!!!
i intend to put myself in the shop window ,not pass to a player in a better position.
Twice this week i have attemped to score when a player was better placed to score, this is my way of playing and long will it continue!!
First of all kroenke out usmanov in Arsene wenger should find his way and mourinho should be persuaded by arsenal to join with big salary like 10m a year and the biggest transfer kitty but the only thing mourinho would change will be djourou,squillacci,mertesacker and jenkinson will find their way with arshavin,chamakh and rosicky also finding their way upfront and replacements will be m’villa,cahill,samba, cosic,goetze,van der wiel and hazard so these will be just minimal change and maybe a top class striker like damiao so next season i want our side to be like these van persie,gervinho goetze wilshere m’villa,gibbs vermealen cahill sagna,sczesny second team campbell, damiao walcott ramsey arteta a.song and the rest
wenger has a bad team only a few are arsenal stander (vanprsie-grvinho-song-verma-theo-sezsney-frinpong-wilshere) five new signings all subs ok
some others are sub (sanga-arsha-maybe Koscielny) were we are and were we should be i remmber 2004 when we were unbetan if some body told my these is our future i would have do somthing i cant realy say it would involve my showing him a part of my body that not alot have seen .
so we have ten players that are arsenal + five new signing good but not frist team fill the gaps but filling the gaps need a genres owners 2.7 bilion another 0ver 20 bilion hwo by the way is not on the boured explins why he is no spending so sow u all know that the owners are at war insted of working togther sow untlie thats solved
I don’t know why that black animal(Djourou) is still in Arsenal squad. I expect Arsenal fans to do something now by not paying for any Arsenal match again untill the board do something with that stupid and useless coach.
Djourou is rubbish, Song is too slow to be defensive midfielder for me he is nowhere near being an Arsenal player, the team shape and tactics are all wrong, the defense can not hold an offside line to save their lives, too many average last minute transfers, and the list goes on. Time for us to turn on the board because ultimately they make the decisions and they are a bunch of greedy dinosaurs who by their actions show pure contempt for us fans.
A 5.5 for gervinho??? He did 1 very bad desicion when he didnt pass to v.persie, apart from that he was our best player by far! Song,arteta and ramsey were also very good today. Our defense needs to work their ass off to figure out how they can improve! Wenger out comments are just childish and stupid!
I too think djourou is rubbish but resorting to that boolocks is beyond the pale.
GoonerYoda
how about
O’niel
van basten
deschamps
coyle
huddink
how about any other top manager around with bergkamp as assistant
lets face it anyone that can recognise the failings and shut the stable door before the horse bolts!
I think we have many good player, but the problem is Arsne.
Every game referee make a mistake agains arsenal, then Arsene not reacting or doing anything and the same thing is happen when arsenal player make a mistake he just shaking his head without getting up and speak to them and waking them up.
so what i mean is nobody respecting him anymore, no referee no the player.
Wenger could do worse than phone the Stoke manager about how to stiffen the defence.In a way he reminds of the US president Johnson.The US had been trying to bomb N Vietnam into submission.Confronted by the deadliest missile defence he refused to budge in his policy of bombing.US planes were shot down and pilots were being killed at an alarming rate.It was not until he had anotehr defence chief that he finally saw the folly in his policy.Why?He was too arrogant and needless to say he did not stand for reelection.’
The same thing can happen to the FM.For starters,he can engage the best defence coach. The problem is Wengerball ie attack is the name of my game. Yeah it’s good if you win.
Assuming he resigns or is axed,contrary to popular belief,the top clubs may not go for him.These clubes want winners and trophy gatherers.
It’s hard to take you seriously when you give Santos 7.5. He was woeful. He was responsible for not stepping up for Yakubu’s goal and was nowhere to be seen on the others. His passing was shit, just put in a couple of good crosses. I would have rated him same as Koscielny.
I am honest enough to know when my team is beaten by a better team but please don’t tell me Blackburn were better today.
One decent goal, one offside and two own goals…
If Mr 7.5 gervinio had lifted his head and passed the game would have been over!
Again I have to read the shite some of you write. You are like spoilt children who need their legs slapping and sending to. Bed. Arsenal do not have devine right to win.
Get your fingers of your playstations and learn the game.
Things are not perfect and players have and will be moved on but please learn the difference between plain bad luck and playing poorly.
Some of you gutless types make me ashamed to be associated with you.
not at all. David o’leary and George graham and ian wright!!!……job share!!….wenger goes too scouting and youth development….i thought honkey kronkey would’av put arsnal merchandise up in every wallmart by now…..really expose it….what baffles really is that you knew 100% full proff that you wer going to lose your two main play makers…..you got this infamous scouting network!!!!…..what happen????…a ganso…or some guy i havn’t heard of…..even a sandro like spurs….aleast get a couple of grafters and play win ball type football till you can re group???…..im watchin barca this season..still love you but…..i miss cesc…..now you all now what the name means…..he kept us in champions league for past 4-5 seasons!!!!!!…..he helped pay off the morgage……assist’s, goals, decision making, dont loose possesion, tempo!!!!….ramsey not reay yet…..no competitve games,,,,,,only bak from injury….im ready whenever benga calls….i can be his new pat rice!!!!…..rice bowl….or sticky rice…..
Serious guys i’m an arsenal fan, think fans have to come to the realise arsenal are not a big club and can’t compete in the transfer market these days. We might be able to afford 30 million fee but can we match the wages to attract players of world class quality, sadly no. The henry days are over and football is in a new league of it own with alot of wealthy individuals willing to throw money in from their own pocket. We’d be lucky if we finish in top 5 this year, sad but true. I don’t know if sacking AW is the right thing to do as we run a football club the way it should be and i can’t see any other manager do the job.
We do need fresh ideas in the dressing room, just a shame i see my club falling apart in front of my eyes.
I can’t understand you lame on-the-fence “Arsenal fans”.
Can you f-king just get behind your own team and start cheering them on?
We the fans are the main f-king reason, a lot of our players have decided to leave! Cos we support like sh*t! Just shut your moaning asses up and start cheering mofos!
It’s stan u dopey f#<king twats, in all fairness we gets done well will no money yr after yr. Make a stand, avoid a couple of home games, show u support we get not stan!
He should walk, that greedy NBS sold us out
Some of your ratings are over the top.
Santos was pants apart from 3 decent crosses, but at fault for 2 goals.
Walcott. 7 my mum could out in 3 decent crosses. That’s all he done.
Prick has panic buyed and bought in 31 million pounds worth of shit.
The man is making us a laughing stock,
hoh much more do we have to stomach
worst start in 58 years
we are drifting into lower table mediocrity where no stars will want to sign for us and the few remaining gems we have will be off!
Wenger just go….please go..
Why would Wenger walk away, he’s under no pressure from the Board who seem quite happy and content to be in the CL year in year out & don’t really care how the team perform as long as they can line their pockets with their bonuses & Wenger saves them money by buying inferior players who are injury prone prior to their move to Arsenal, because they’re cheap. We need a change of management. A manager who is not afraid to tell the Board he needs x amount of money for this player or that player, perhaps we should bring back Dein, who at least knew who to go for whereas Gizidis is more interested in procuring sponsers rather than looking at new players. Yet we are supposed to have this extensive network of scounts worldwide. Where are they?

Seriously, fire Djourou. He stinks so bad, that even blind people say “what a clown!” He showed time and again from prvious games that he can’t tackle. An d he showed that again by costing Arsenal a goal. He can’t cross, stand, slide… or at all play football. Paying him to play is outragious. Miquel is already a better center back. Djourou needs to go. Koscielny didn’t have an all bad day, he intercepted and read the play well, but unfortunately he panics like a little girl alone on the bus and cries after scoring an own goal. Mertesacker also sucked. For such a reputation, he seems not to be able to mark his man or command his fellow defender to put up a decent line. Both centerbacks could do wit a long training in marking and positioning. Santos paniced a little, and didn’t have control, but seing how Gibbs performed lately, Santos is never going to lose his place. Sagna was good. I don’t thinbk he gave a way much space to Hoilett, and acted at times as a wide midfielder, putting in superb crosses. His mark is totally unfair. Walcott as usual, didn’t do any harm to the BR defenders. He runs, get’s fouled, and get’s up and runs again. He is useless. Arshavin should play through the middle. He is less useful on the wing, but given space, he can pass, shoot and dribble. He is always much more dangerous in the middle, why not play him where Fab used to play? And Arteta and Song can stay behind as deep laying playmakers. BTW, Song was immense. What a ballwinner. Tireless, always in control. Dominant. Impressive. Ramsey is to slow and indecisive. Grow up Welshman, and then talk about replacing Cesc. Also, for a man with 10 assists last season, Gervinho didn’t seem to be able to pass very well… or even try.
As usual, all the play, zero points. Laughable defending, even from the big german. Attacking is impotent. The passing is to slow at times, and the worst part is – no movement off the ball whatsoever. Even Cesc woul dstruggle to play a pass in the current Arsenal team. They all stand still! How many times did Arteta and Ramsey raise their arms when they were on the ball to indicate that they need passing options? I counted at least 12. For a passing team playing free flowing football like Arsenal, that is totally unacceptable.
But the good thins is that the ridiculous clown Jenkinson didn’t even make the bench. He is a worse purchase than Sygan and Jefferson.
But I have an idea for Wenger: Next season, if you still keep the job, challange yourself even bigger! Sell RvP, Wilshere, Szczesny, Vermaelen, Sagna and Song, replace them by promoting 12 youth players and buy 3 ligue 2 players, and try to win something!! Go for it! This year you only sold 3 of the key players, bought crap and promoted even bigger crap, so why not escalade next year?
Arsenal do look bad. But what do excpect Wenger to do. Theres only so much you can do with the talent and hand. Its very very rare that a club in trouble switching coaches helps, and in Arsenal’s case this is even more so because of the players that are there specifically to play Wenger’s style. As a fan I say we wait it out fot the holiday break and if things havent begun to straighten out then Wenger is gone, additionally this would give the Arsenal front office time to actually find a suitable replacement and to target players who are able to play this replacements style.
Anyone who thinks a manager should be sacked after his new 5 signings have only played 3 games together is a retard and should resign from writing blogs….
It sucks when someone that is a Librarian thinks he knows more than a Carpenter… or an IT Specialist getting told what to do by a Baker, in essence this is what is happening here.
We are 3 games in with new signings, if a new manager comes in things are not guaranteed to improve.
We looked dangerous going forward in patches, it was Santo’s first game for us… we are not going to win the league but after these players gel we should get 4th.
Liverpool went through this last season and they finished really strong, is not Wenger’s fault that blog writers who poison the minds of gullible readers are so incredibly narrow minded, is unfortunate most people can’t think for themselves in a rational way.
We are not going to be able to compete with the Manchester Clubs or Chelsea for a while, to me a philosophy on how to do things right is more important than cheating your way to the top.
If we ever get a sugar daddy and start signing world class players from money that does not belong to us I will stop watching football altogether, is plastic success, does not mean anything… well, not to me anyway, I don’t know how Chelsea or Man City fans can feel pride in supporting mercenaries.
WTF is an escalade? your contribution just about sums up this blog
Arsenal DON’T need a change of manager , board , stadium , coach or whatever else you , in your infinite wisdom and indisputable tactical knowledge proclaim , all they need is a change of LUCK
Yes luck , you know that liitle bit of unfathomable entity that at the moment seems to have deserted the club. Facts , 1 goal offside 2 own goals and a nailed on penalty against walcott , 69% possession 23 attempts at goal 14 corners with stats like that and lady luck favors us we walk away with 3 points , somebody is going to get stuffed in the near future and it will probably be the club just down the road , you know the one you really support
Djourou & Ramsey was shit
Arsenal missed Cesc terribly ….
The ROT began when the french gaffer started dismantling the invinclibles …henry,vieria.gliberto etc and DID NOT REPLACE them and more recently flamini,hleb and gallas ..and lastly cesc and nasri ..
Look at manu …veterans like giggs and scholes are invaluable to them
There you have it. If ever proof was needed that the manager has taken Arsenal as far (if you can call going backwards far) as he can.
How much more of this pittiful shit do we have to stomach before the message gets through?
We will NEVER wim another trophy whilst Wenger is at the healm.
There is a cancer at the club and until it is completeley removed we will continue in our downward spiral to mid table mediocrity.
Wenger has has not four months to sort out the defence but four years and he has dragged his feet which has put us in this position. Koncielny and Djourou shouldnt be anywhere near the team and they would struggle to get in a championship team. Walcott, sagna,chambolikh and arshavin should be set a drift with diaby,rosicky and song ( who gives the ball away too much and does not a have a footballing brain. 1 good pass doesnt make him good), they have all been given a fair crack and have failed miserably.
Dont keep telling me to be careful what i wish for because anything has got to be better that the crap that is embarrassing us week by week. We are a laughing stock and its only going to get worse.
It pains me to say it but spurs will murder us in a few weeks time.
We are fucked big time!!
….. We are playing like a mid table outfit. No flare, no direction and no clue
What a fucking joke!
Wenger collect your coat, you are ruining a proud club. Every dog has his day and yours passed five years ago, just go….please just go!
How on eaerth Koscielny can try and clear a cross with his right foot and score an own goal is beyond me. It was an easy left-footed clearance. Koscielny, Djourou and Mertesacker are not good enough. Why didnt we sign Cahill or Samba as well? We had the money
Doesn’t this remind you of when other clubs have rebuilt? Sometimes you have to go through these tough times. The squad has been transformed, and it has only been three games. The first half that I saw was very promising, but you could see that the new players weren’t all gelling, and you expect that. We just have to ride this part out, but getting on the backs of wenger or whoever isn’t going to make it any easier.
The players at arsenal are constantly under this negative pressure. It’s not just from the media, it’s from their own fans. We’ve gone out to destroy players when they haven’t done well, some of whom could have turned it round, senderos for example. Half the fanbase is chasing vela out the door before he’s been given half a chance at the club, and I imagine it’s not nice to be worrying about the prospect of being booed by your own fans every time you go out to play.
now wenger seems lik Gaddafi!…….he will hav miserable ending…better leave now b4 things gets much worse!
bob mcnabs – did you see cahill aganst Utd? He’s utter crap.
Koscielny kicked the ball that way because of how he was running back, and it came at him too fast, so he couldn’t properly adjust. He’s miles better than bloody cahill.
Just one statement: Wenger is not the right manager for Arsenal anymore.
‘We will buy quality wen we see quality’-quotes 4rm wenger,this is his quality.poor team,but we hav 2 give credit2 bburn,they worked hard,le proffeseur pls resign,pls!
Davi,
I respect your opinion but you need to wake up and take those rose tinted glasses off.
Firstly i have never mentioned Cahill and secondly you have obviously forgotten the embarrassing defeats against united twice in the champs league, defeat to spurs in coca cola cup a few years ago as well as the 4-4 and 3-2 defeat, what about the loss to chelsea at wembley fa cup semi or the fa cup defeat at old trafford, how about home defeat to hull city, i could go on. Our demise isnt a consequence of rebuilding its a consequence of wengers inability to spot weaknesses in the team and it is all now coming to a head.
Unfortunately its supporters like you that are keeping Wenger in a job. He is a spent force and needs to go
As for the ratings above…..
Are you on drugs?
Santos 7.5… he put in a few good balls.
He is a defender first and fortwo of the blackburn goals he played their playes onside as he was too slow moving up! Fair enough it was his debut but you should mark his defending before his attacking.
And how can you give Song 7.0 he a fucking brainless idiot who plays like a robot and doesnt know what going on around him. Sagna and Mertasacker both scored 4 more than they should have. The latter already looks like a reincarnation of stepanovs!!!
i intend to put myself in the shop window ,not pass to a player in a better position.
Twice this week i have attemped to score when a player was better placed to score, this is my way of playing and long will it continue!!
First of all kroenke out usmanov in Arsene wenger should find his way and mourinho should be persuaded by arsenal to join with big salary like 10m a year and the biggest transfer kitty but the only thing mourinho would change will be djourou,squillacci,mertesacker and jenkinson will find their way with arshavin,chamakh and rosicky also finding their way upfront and replacements will be m’villa,cahill,samba, cosic,goetze,van der wiel and hazard so these will be just minimal change and maybe a top class striker like damiao so next season i want our side to be like these van persie,gervinho goetze wilshere m’villa,gibbs vermealen cahill sagna,sczesny second team campbell, damiao walcott ramsey arteta a.song and the rest
wenger has a bad team only a few are arsenal stander (vanprsie-grvinho-song-verma-theo-sezsney-frinpong-wilshere) five new signings all subs ok
some others are sub (sanga-arsha-maybe Koscielny) were we are and were we should be i remmber 2004 when we were unbetan if some body told my these is our future i would have do somthing i cant realy say it would involve my showing him a part of my body that not alot have seen .
so we have ten players that are arsenal + five new signing good but not frist team fill the gaps but filling the gaps need a genres owners 2.7 bilion another 0ver 20 bilion hwo by the way is not on the boured explins why he is no spending so sow u all know that the owners are at war insted of working togther sow untlie thats solved
I don’t know why that black animal(Djourou) is still in Arsenal squad. I expect Arsenal fans to do something now by not paying for any Arsenal match again untill the board do something with that stupid and useless coach.
Those who want Wenger out…please tell me who is a viable replacement that’s available right now?
Thanks!
Djourou is rubbish, Song is too slow to be defensive midfielder for me he is nowhere near being an Arsenal player, the team shape and tactics are all wrong, the defense can not hold an offside line to save their lives, too many average last minute transfers, and the list goes on. Time for us to turn on the board because ultimately they make the decisions and they are a bunch of greedy dinosaurs who by their actions show pure contempt for us fans.
A 5.5 for gervinho??? He did 1 very bad desicion when he didnt pass to v.persie, apart from that he was our best player by far! Song,arteta and ramsey were also very good today. Our defense needs to work their ass off to figure out how they can improve! Wenger out comments are just childish and stupid!
Joseph,
Cut out the racist shit man,
I too think djourou is rubbish but resorting to that boolocks is beyond the pale.
GoonerYoda
how about
O’niel
van basten
deschamps
coyle
huddink
how about any other top manager around with bergkamp as assistant
lets face it anyone that can recognise the failings and shut the stable door before the horse bolts!
I think we have many good player, but the problem is Arsne.
Every game referee make a mistake agains arsenal, then Arsene not reacting or doing anything and the same thing is happen when arsenal player make a mistake he just shaking his head without getting up and speak to them and waking them up.
so what i mean is nobody respecting him anymore, no referee no the player.
The only think Wenger have not tried is bringing in a quality defensive coach. Until he takes that action, Arsenal will be punished again and again.
Wenger could do worse than phone the Stoke manager about how to stiffen the defence.In a way he reminds of the US president Johnson.The US had been trying to bomb N Vietnam into submission.Confronted by the deadliest missile defence he refused to budge in his policy of bombing.US planes were shot down and pilots were being killed at an alarming rate.It was not until he had anotehr defence chief that he finally saw the folly in his policy.Why?He was too arrogant and needless to say he did not stand for reelection.’
The same thing can happen to the FM.For starters,he can engage the best defence coach. The problem is Wengerball ie attack is the name of my game. Yeah it’s good if you win.
Assuming he resigns or is axed,contrary to popular belief,the top clubs may not go for him.These clubes want winners and trophy gatherers.
It’s hard to take you seriously when you give Santos 7.5. He was woeful. He was responsible for not stepping up for Yakubu’s goal and was nowhere to be seen on the others. His passing was shit, just put in a couple of good crosses. I would have rated him same as Koscielny.
I am honest enough to know when my team is beaten by a better team but please don’t tell me Blackburn were better today.
One decent goal, one offside and two own goals…
If Mr 7.5 gervinio had lifted his head and passed the game would have been over!
Again I have to read the shite some of you write. You are like spoilt children who need their legs slapping and sending to. Bed. Arsenal do not have devine right to win.
Get your fingers of your playstations and learn the game.
Things are not perfect and players have and will be moved on but please learn the difference between plain bad luck and playing poorly.
Some of you gutless types make me ashamed to be associated with you.
not at all. David o’leary and George graham and ian wright!!!……job share!!….wenger goes too scouting and youth development….i thought honkey kronkey would’av put arsnal merchandise up in every wallmart by now…..really expose it….what baffles really is that you knew 100% full proff that you wer going to lose your two main play makers…..you got this infamous scouting network!!!!…..what happen????…a ganso…or some guy i havn’t heard of…..even a sandro like spurs….aleast get a couple of grafters and play win ball type football till you can re group???…..im watchin barca this season..still love you but…..i miss cesc…..now you all now what the name means…..he kept us in champions league for past 4-5 seasons!!!!!!…..he helped pay off the morgage……assist’s, goals, decision making, dont loose possesion, tempo!!!!….ramsey not reay yet…..no competitve games,,,,,,only bak from injury….im ready whenever benga calls….i can be his new pat rice!!!!…..rice bowl….or sticky rice…..
Serious guys i’m an arsenal fan, think fans have to come to the realise arsenal are not a big club and can’t compete in the transfer market these days. We might be able to afford 30 million fee but can we match the wages to attract players of world class quality, sadly no. The henry days are over and football is in a new league of it own with alot of wealthy individuals willing to throw money in from their own pocket. We’d be lucky if we finish in top 5 this year, sad but true. I don’t know if sacking AW is the right thing to do as we run a football club the way it should be and i can’t see any other manager do the job.
We do need fresh ideas in the dressing room, just a shame i see my club falling apart in front of my eyes.
Santos, 7.5? He was the only defender who was not defensive. Did nothing when the goals went in. Check carefully.
I can’t understand you lame on-the-fence “Arsenal fans”.
Can you f-king just get behind your own team and start cheering them on?
We the fans are the main f-king reason, a lot of our players have decided to leave! Cos we support like sh*t! Just shut your moaning asses up and start cheering mofos!
It’s stan u dopey f#<king twats, in all fairness we gets done well will no money yr after yr. Make a stand, avoid a couple of home games, show u support we get not stan!
He should walk, that greedy NBS sold us out
Some of your ratings are over the top.
Santos was pants apart from 3 decent crosses, but at fault for 2 goals.
Walcott. 7 my mum could out in 3 decent crosses. That’s all he done.
WENGER OUT!!
Prick has panic buyed and bought in 31 million pounds worth of shit.
The man is making us a laughing stock,
hoh much more do we have to stomach
worst start in 58 years
we are drifting into lower table mediocrity where no stars will want to sign for us and the few remaining gems we have will be off!
Wenger just go….please go..
Why would Wenger walk away, he’s under no pressure from the Board who seem quite happy and content to be in the CL year in year out & don’t really care how the team perform as long as they can line their pockets with their bonuses & Wenger saves them money by buying inferior players who are injury prone prior to their move to Arsenal, because they’re cheap. We need a change of management. A manager who is not afraid to tell the Board he needs x amount of money for this player or that player, perhaps we should bring back Dein, who at least knew who to go for whereas Gizidis is more interested in procuring sponsers rather than looking at new players. Yet we are supposed to have this extensive network of scounts worldwide. Where are they?
