After another Super Sunday win for Manchester United over their arch rivals Arsenal effectively ending the gunner’s title bid. The Arsenal have now gone four seasons without a title and you have to wonder why is that?
Once again the Gunners went ahead but could not win in another big game, perhaps lacking a leader. (William Gallas is a man who lacks credibilty and natural leadership qualities) And also lacking experienced high quality players who have contested in these important high pressure games before like Thierry Henry or Robert Pires.
Wenger in a post match interview hinted that there was some kind of refereeing conspiracy against his team which made him look even more pathetic and self pitying than ever before.
Arsene Wenger is no doubt a great coach but he has never been a great man to man manager.
He avoids buying big-name players with egos and reputation to avoid confrontation; he has no discipline over his players, which is why throughout the years Arsenal have had such awful disciplinary records.
Wenger cannot blame anyone but himself for his team’s lossess.
In my opinion, this “young” Arsenal side have over-achieved and if they want to succeed anytime soon, they need to invest in some quality experienced players as opposed to buying players when they are in their teens and then raising them as youth players.
If you look at Arsenals first eleven you’ll see their average age is 25 which isn’t as young as Wenger and Arsenal fans like to think.
Thanks to Arsene Wenger’s “youthful” fetishes, Arsenal have no become a selling club and you have to wonder how long before world class players like Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie are sold to bigger clubs.
Almunia (30)
Cliché (22) Gallas (30) Toure (27) Sagna (25)
Hleb (26) Flamini (24) Fabregas (20) Rosicky (27)
Eduardo (25) Van Persie (24)
Arsenal’s first eleven lacks experience, natural leaders and big strong players. (Both mentally and physically)
Wenger needs to buy and buy big.
