synes det sender feilt signal når diaby får spille kant uten og være dugende på den plassen når vi har spillere som ikke spiller utav posisjon på den plassen.. enig med deg med motivasjonsdelen, vi har slitt med dette før, i hele fjor blant annet brukte spillerne til tider med enegi på og snakke om at vi forsatt kunne ta gull enn de brukte på banen.. synes det er høyst på tide at wishere får spilletid og!! blir litt negativt dette men tror det er et poeng i det "Even at this early stage I can’t see us clawing 9 points back on this chelsea side" http://arsenalaction.wordpress.com/2009/09...llenge-is-over/

synes han her har noen meget gode poeng, støttes fult ut Arsenal's dozy recklessness needs to be addressed, and fast! http://www.oleole.com/blogs/arsenal-truth/...ressed-and-fast Only four games into the season and we've already seen the best and worst that Arsenal have to offer. Excellent opening performances against Everton, Portsmouth and Celtic in the Champions League, and throughout the majority of the defeat against Manchester United, have shown many plusses, but the nature of the goals conceded at Old Trafford and yesterday's loss to Manchester City already indicate that any significant improvements made this season could well be nullified by the continued problems of old. Arsenal are by no means out of the title race, but a number of situations need addressing, and the quicker the better. I'll come to individual errors later, but the first obvious problem that needs addressing is Wenger's newly-adopted 4-3-3 system. For the most part the system has worked marvelously well across Arsenal's opening five games - there is certainly no necessity to abandon it. However, the front three is a problem area and having Van Persie up top as a target man and Bendtner coming in from the right is clearly detrimental from an attacking perspective. Why Wenger is adopting these player positions is beyond me and I have wracked my brain trying to figure out a logical conclusion. It would seem far more appropriate to play Bendtner through the middle where he can use his height and strength and play with his back to goal. Technically he's certainly good enough to maintain possession in that role, and could excel. Anything has to be better than than having to watch Van Persie struggling physically game after game - conceding possession to the opposition virtually every time the ball lands at his feet. In fact, Van Persie would surely be far more effective in a slightly deeper position coming off the right wing. With a bit more time and space he can throw quality left-foot crosses into the danger area that Bendtner might be able to get on the end of. Van Persie is also quicker than Bendtner on the ground and would offer Arsenal a little more stability from a defensive aspect too. This certainly has to be addressed, as it's clearly not working. Van Persie scored a marvelous goal yesterday but this type of quality finish is near-impossible to replicate week-in, week-out for any forward of any ability. Yesterday, it was Diaby left, Van Persie in the middle and Bendtner right wing. That's three players playing out of position; each only delivering 50% of their ability. Players hate being played out of position; they want to play where they have been educated to play and prefer to play. Fans also hate seeing players being played out of position, as they know that more often than not they underperform. Footballers deliver on their maximum ability when played in their natural position; so playing three players out of position - all in forward positions - is severely blunting Arsenal's attacking capabilities and just seems completely counter-prodcutive and destructive. It's one of those baffling decisions that makes you question a manager's sanity. At the moment Arsenal are finding goals from all over the pitch, but this cannot be guaranteed to continue, and besides, forwards thrive on goals and can quickly lose confidence and form when they're stuggling every week. Having said that, yesterday the roles that the front three played were largely down to necessity, due to injuries to Arshavin, Nasri and Walcott, whilst Wenger is still evidently cautious about throwing Rosicky and Eduardo into back-to-back games. However, Wenger could have easily switched Van Persie and Bendtner over yesterday, or previous to yesterday in fact. I also get the feeling that Wenger has a pecking order. We have seen it in the past, where players are picked not on ability or performances, but because they have waited patiently and been slowly integrated into the team, having been reckoned to have "earned" their chance. One has to ask, is this the right way to pick a team? Bendtner is pretty out of his depth playing as a right-sided attacking winger, and personally I couldn't give a damn about pecking order. Eduardo is fit enough and able enough, he doesn't need any more protecting. The Croatian can just as easily get badly injured in training (ala Nasri) as in a full-blooded game; so he should start playing every week because he's world class and Bendtner isn't. Wenger needs to pull his finger out; start playing players in their natural positions and start putting the best team out that he has available. Now down to individuals, another area where Wenger appears to have gone soft. First, the goalkeeping situation is slowly becoming critical. Almunia is a fairly decent goalkeeper, nowhere near Jens Lehmann's peak or most other keepers of Arsenal yonder, but still decent. However, he's starting to make regular costly errors and Arsenal have NOONE who can effectively take his place. How on earth did Arsenal find themselves in this predicament? They have an average-to-decent first choice keeper in Almunia, a second choice keeper who has been pretty hopeless to date - and now has a long-term injury - and a third choice keeper who is a total rookie and cannot possibly be seriously considered for a run in the first team. Almunia should be dropped, but Wenger has no choice but to keep playing him as noone worth their salt is good enough to replace him. It's a ludicrous situation that we just have to hope doesn't go from bad to worse. To think that Shay Given was bought for a paltry £5.9m and Arsenal didn't even go in for him seems like a big opportunity lost. Then we come to another player who should be dropped. Gael Clichy. Three years ago he looked a highly promising defender; far from Ashley Cole's standard perhaps, but certainly with the potential and ability to be just as good and make that position his own. Instead, Clichy has regressed. Nearly every game he makes a horrendous mistake; some of which get punished, others don't. Yesterday, he was utterly abysmal and I don't see why he should keep his place in the team. If you allow a player to keep their place in the team after performing so witlessly, what does that say about the players pushing behind him? What does Armand Traore have to do to get a game these days? And Kieran Gibbs may be five years younger and is likely to make some mistakes of his own, but he has already shown more competence defensively than Clichy and has certainly never played as abominably as Clichy did yesterday. Again, it seems to be about pecking order and I can't think of a better time than now for that to stop. One has to wonder how much of Clichy's brainless performance is down to the player himself or coaching. It's likely a bit of both, but where's the maturity? Clichy is 24 not 18. He should be putting these reckless performances behind him. Arsenal were in a comfortable position at 1-1 and looked well-placed to have a crack at winning the game; a draw would not have been a bad result - there was no reason for Clichy to maraud up the pitch and lose possession in such key areas, and not just once - but three times!! Unforgivable in my book. A message needs to be sent out to Clichy - and the whole squad; sometimes you support a player by persisiting with them after they make a mistake, but equally a player sometimes needs to be dropped and realise their place in the team is not automatic. Arsenal would do well to coach Clichy a little better on how to close players down, not get beaten inside quite so often, and teach him when, where and how he should close down play on the pitch, and under what circumstances he should take gambles. While we're at it, Abou Diaby's pathetic attempts to help his team out when under duress also need to be analysed. The way he ambled back as Man City counter-attacked for Bellamy's second goal was extraordinary. He should have been breaking his neck to get back but genuinely didn't seem to give a shit if the team conceded a goal or not; and that sort of losers mentality needs to be excised from the team. If these problems are not addressed - and fast, they will haunt Arsenal this season. After a summer of almost zero activity in the transfer market, there are a lot of decision made by the manager that need to be backed up by performances. Unlike last year, when it took until November for supporters to get truly disgruntled; a feeling that never really went away throughout the remainder of the season - fans will will turn on Wenger very fast if things deterioate as quickly this season too. I have some sympathy for the manager; it's been a tough start and he can't be wholly blamed for calamitous individual errors, but he can be blamed if he does not act on them and one can also point the finger in retrospect if the same players keep underperforming - players that Wenger have asked supporters to trust in when there are clear concerns over their consistency. Arsenal have a nice run of league games coming up; Wigan (H), Fulham (A), Blackburn (H), Birmingham (H), West Ham (A), Tottenham (H), Wolves (A) and Sunderland (A). We need to be looking at at least 20-21pts from those games, from where Arsenal will hopefully be will in the title mix coming into a hugely important home game with Chelsea late November. A win at the Emirates in that match, and hopefully we can be looking at a serious title challenge - if Arsenal blow it before then, Wenger can expect a maelstrom of dissatisfaction. Until then, let's get the season back on track, and in style; Wenger needs to work on the players a lot more to cut out these stupid mistakes and start playing the best available players in their favoured positions. Certain players need to up their game, and the manager too.

Spørsmålet er vel om sjefen ser dette/vil se? Neppe! hvis ikke han ser dette snart, så er det noe i veien med han!!

vår tittenteikeeper er glimrende nok en gang

spilte jack for england u 21 i går?? finner ikke noe om kampen på nettet

alle som har arsenal TV boer gaa inn og se hoydepunktene!! vil se merida paa foerste laget, spesielt hvis cesc er ute, en sinnsyk kamp han spilte mot birmingham

Seriøst??? Ser ikke noen grunn til å reagere med et "seriøst???" til den kommentaren der. Sannheten ER jo at Wenger har løyet til oss (hvis han er gjengitt riktig på Arsenal.com og andre steder). Han sa han skulle forsterke laget med rutine, og at han var VELDIG innstilt på at det skulle skje før sesongoppkjøringen. Så var det snakk om 1 or 2 players before the transfer window shuts. Hvor ble det av de? Synes Wenger ikke skal si noen ting som helst i fremtiden ang. kjøp, for da blir vi bare skuffet uansett. hadde ikke blitt skuffet hvis han hadde hvert eerlig, men det samme skjedde i fjord, han sa vi kom til og bli fornoyd naar vi saa kem han skulle hente etter twente kampen og saa henter han silvestre.. i aar sa han at vi skulle forsterke stallen med 2-3 spillere, det har han ikke gjort, saa da blir spoersmaalet mitt hvorfor i hulleste h........ sier han det da?? er veldig enig med deg at wenger ikke skal si noe om transfers lenger

snakk om og holde folk for narr, for denne og sist sommers utalelser med tanke på spillerkjøp skulle wenger hatt seg en solid karamel midt i kjeften

jaja wenger klarte det igjen, få oss til og tro han skulle styrke stallen, for og så fucke oss over som vanlig igjen alle sammen!! kommer aldri mer til og tro på noe som kommer ut av kjeften til wenger igjen

tror en som kan spille stopper og midtbane hadde hvert idielt og hentet.. marquez paa barca f eks

stooter den.. men jeg mener marquez paa barca er det beste alternativet der, like god som stopper og sentral midt

Fantastisk lesing. Men trur ikke dette blir sesongen som Jack slår skikklig igjennom, trenger nok et år med innhopp for å bli helt klar. Trur heller Ramsey blir den som slår igjennom iår. troen på at begge får en del spilletid i år jeg, håper også at merida får en del, virker sånn i og med at wenger nektet han og gå på lån

ser litt spennende ut han her: http://footballtalentspotter.com/blogs/the...ssasissoko.aspx 19 år gamle sissoko er allerede kalt opp på frankrikes landslag, litt for dumt om tottentott skulle fått han

håper ikke at clear-outen er ferdig enda jeg.. eboue, senderos, diaby er spillere jeg føler vi kunne klart oss uten. men håper at vi får inn noen og seff

Skjønner ikke dette problemet med å selge til City, av to grunner: 1. Ingen andre ville gitt oss £40 mill for Ade/Kolo. Det er for å si det forsiktig hinsides all fornuft. 2. City ville uansett fått forsterkninger, ville Huntelaar/Mexes i City og Arsenal en haug med millioner fattigere vært bedre? Dette er meget fornuftig forutsatt at pengene brukes, og flere spillere kommer til å komme. Spørsmålet er bare hvem. helt enig. god buisnes spør du meg.. men seff trist og miste kolo, for han gidde altid 100 % vermaelen- gallas ser lovende ut forløpig

--> QUOTE(Stefan B @ Jul 29 2009, 04:55 PM) 172588[/snapback] Wolfsburg nekter å selge Dzeko så han tror jeg vi bare kan glemme dessverre visste det egentlig, men bare lekte med tanken på at wenger hadde greid og lurt han derfra likevel:)

leste nett en artikkel om Dzeko, tror han er den spissen jeg helst ville hatt som er i vårt sjikte.. kan det være at wenger har en sjenistrek på gang?? håpte på Cana, men det gikk dårlig, vet for lite om Cattermole til om han hadde hvert et godt kjøp, men han høres bra ut men Cahill fra bolton og Cattermole fra wigan hadde hvert spennende synes jeg, hadde vi fått inn litt engelsk blood og

tror det toget er godt

Vannvittig kjapp i vendingene. Minner litt om det cristiano ronaldo kan få til med kula. Også har han ballen umtrent under kroppen til enhver tid, gjør det vanskelig å stoppe. Håper Wenger henter han, så kan vi bruke han på vingen og flytte walcott opp på topp eller noe sånn. Men der er nok offensive spillere nå ja. Begynne å tynnest kraftig bak over. satan han så bra ut, hadde ikke klaget hvis vi fikk han:) så at amir zaki kansje skulle på lån til portsmouth, kunne kansje hvert en nødløsning hvis vi er så jævlig blakk, bøttet jo inn mål for wigan

et meget tynt rykte , men med en spiller vi har blitt linket med før: http://www.tribalfootball.com/blackburn-ar...iev-exit-259748

Red and White Holdings, the investment vehicle for Usmanov and business partner Farhad Moshiri, says it is "mystified" by the club's rejection of a proposal that could significantly reduce the £318 million debt and provide further transfer funds for manager Arsene Wenger. According to Red and White's financial analysis, Arsenal's earnings are likely to fall next year, largely due to a 12-14 per cent increase in costs as a result of players being compensated for tax changes and some improved contracts for key members of the squad. It estimates Arsenal's gross average annual spend on new players as £18 million, compared with £37 million for the 'Big Four', and the net annual spend, taking into account sales, as zero, against a £20.2 million Big Four average. Since the move to the Emirates in July 2006, Arsenal have spent around £70 million on new players and sold players to the value of just over £80 million. Arsenal, though, do commit much of their resources to an annual wage bill in excess of £100 million which, according to the most recent figures, was behind only Chelsea and Manchester United in the Premier League. Red and White insists the rights issue is simply about releasing funds and it would be happy for it to be structured so that their shareholding remained at 25 per cent. It is considering its options but would be reluctant to call an extraordinary meeting or place an ordinary resolution in front of shareholders at the AGM if there was little chance of winning. However, it would also be mindful that a majority of the shares are no longer held by the board of directors following the ousting last year of Lady Bracewell-Smith. Many fans, though, remain suspicious of Red and White, which has yet to win public backing for its idea from the influential Arsenal Supporters' Trust, which is concerned by the potential impact on the club's ownership structure. Arsenal say they can comfortably service interest from their debt while providing funds for investment and have pointed to a strategy of building rather than buying success. The largest shareholder is Stan Kroenke, who has spent around £90 million on shares this year, including a £42.5 million deal to buy a chunk of fellow director Danny Fiszman's stake. "One hundred million pounds has changed hands among shareholders, not a penny has gone into the club," said Moshiri. "He [usmanov] has offered funds to the club without any conditions, without board appointment. I think the strength of Arsenal is that it benefits from having a number of millionaires, billionaires among its shareholder base. "Arsene Wenger is a complete genius. He must be supported - without further support I think he would lose motivation. It is a tragedy not to support the greatest manager of modern times to achieve the ultimate accolade in football to win the European Cup." synes dette var litt interesang lesning, skjønner ikke at alle er så skaptiskt til han han, men kronke er helt grei liksom.. ka har han gjort?? har ikke sittet meg sjøl skikkelig inn i dette helt enda, men virker ikke som Usmanov krever noe tilbake for dette.. korekt meg hvis jeg tar feil

han og gallas går ikke sammen, så en av de må ut, synes det er greit at vi beholder den beste.. kan ikke ha en stall med spiller som ikke snakker med hverandre, dette gjeldte jo adebayor og eboue og, så mitt håp eboue stikker, erstattet av traore, ade ut og toure ut.. problem vekke

kan se ut som det er på vei til en stor overhaling av stallen i år, noe jeg ser på som posetivt.. som sagt det var en del problemer innad i klubben i fjor, gallas og toure snakket ikke med hverandre og toure sine alierte var adebayor eboue, hvis det er sånn at det er de som lagde kvalme øg wenger selger alle disse kan det se meget lovende ut for vår del.. jeg er enig med de som sier at gallas er bedre en toure, sånn som gallas spilte etter han ble fratatt kapteinsbindet var sinnsykt bra, bare synd han ble skadet på slutten ellers kunne ting fort sett annerledes ut

ser ut som vi får 15 mill for han, dog skulle jeg ønske richards kom vår vei på en eller annen måte. http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2009...-for-kolo-toure

tror jeg bare sier bye bye kolo, takk for alt, men du er på hell og åper hellet ditt fortsetter sånn at du ikke lager for mye trøbbel for oss
