Maybe we're not good enough?

Premiership Arsenal
by arioni (U1648377) 29 November 2006
comment on the article

I am getting really frustrated with Arsenal. Week in week out we go through the same route. So maybe we have to ask, are we good enough? Have we been had? Sure Henry, Cesc Van Persie etal all seem good, but are they really? I mean what the hell is going on? It is so disheartening. And why oh why is Song playing tonight? What on Earth was the point of exchanging Reyes for Baptista if we're not going to use him? Song? He hasnt featured this season. It is puzzling. We're always slating other teams but hey, Chelsea Man Utd are winning. We're not. Its pathetic.

Maybe they need a few more home grown players that will grind out a victory now and then, bring back, Tony Adams, Martin Kneown, and they're likes.

Guys,
Just because Arsenal have had a poor start to the season does not mean that are a boring side or not worthy of competing for major honours. Wenger is going through a transition of building a new side. Ferguson has to build a new side three times, but still his record is poor for twenty year at the biggest club in England. Arsenal may not win the Premiership, but there still in the top three to beat in the Premoership!

I have said this before Wenger always finds something else to blame when Arsenal lose its never the fact that the other team out played them or the style his side played on the day just didnt work. Before he starts trashing other teams he should take a look around.

I personally like the fact that Arsene is protective of his team. I don't see any purpose or merit in publicly slating your own players after a match where they didn't perform. I certainly stand up for my family if they are right or wrong.

I think there is a place for keeping things behind closed doors. The press hate it, naturally - they're after conflict and gossip, and slate him for it. I just dispair at how sheep-like some people are taking whatever line from whatever rag as total fact and can't see how stories are contrived.

I'm very pleased that we beat Spurs three nil yesterday.
If I could offer some constructive comments they would be:
Firstly, Freddy Ljungberg seems to go to ground too many times now. I'm not sure whether he can't ride a tackle any more or whether something else is going on?
Please stay on your feet a bit more Freddy!
Secondly, what an earth was Eboue up to? He was slightly clipped by Keane and threw himself down on the ground. When the ref rightly ignored his dive Eboue then seemed to suffer a nervous breakdown for the remaining minutes trying to attract attention. In the end Silva rightly told him off.
Cut it out Emmanuel it's not what I expect from an Arsenal player!
Up the Arsenal!!!!!!!!

the injury to thierry henry is such a lie. he has obviously had a row with arsen wenger. while watching match of the day last night he seemed to be moving his neck ok. if you are going to try and fake or lie about an injury why not say a hamstring strain?? soorry arsenal fans looks like thieey henry is out of arsenal in january.

Argument Yes. Out of Arsenal No.
Sometimes it's not a bad thing to have an argument to clear the air. Thierry has not been playing well this season and Arsene has added many young players in the last two seasons, which has resulted in the team being inexperienced and unbalanced.
Thierry wiil no doubt recover his form. Arsene will buy and sell players in the summer transfer window.
Problem solved!

Have you ever had a neck injury? Sometimes you can move your neck just fine, but during a game your having to whip your neck around and constantly move it. It certainly has an effect on how fast you can react and move.

BTW when you get thigh strains etc there is many times you can walk fine, that doesnt make it any less of an injury. But going by your book that means hes obviously faking it.
