whats happening to arsenal?
-
why are they not performing?
-
They need to drop Thierry henry. That fella needs a well-deserved break. Give Theo Walcott some games and let him prove himself.
-
henry is really off form.
he actually failed to score into an open goal from a free kick. if not for the penalty i think he would not have scored. -
not enough match winners....
the whole team is young and inexperienced...
if henry dosent perform, the whole team is down...
-
I thought it has smth to do wif da pitch and new stadium? they still not used to it. They sure UNLUCKY not to score despite so many goal opportunities...
-
yeah....i think so too. highbury was narrower and suite their passing style whereas emirates is like old trafford and through balls cannot easily be threaded through. wenger should also start wif his czech playmaker and adebayor.Originally posted by Bontakun:I thought it has smth to do wif da pitch and new stadium? they still not used to it.

they lack good wingers.. which is quite useful especially for big pitches, they love the space to run at defenders..
-
i also feel they should drop henry since he's getting off-form recently as he look very tired n not getting too much rest.
i hope wenger can fix the problem asap n no more trial n error.

the feng shui of the new stadium not good.

Cursed.

stadium name not good.Originally posted by monoslayer:the feng shui of the new stadium not good. -
Henry aimimg for UCL, he look like not interested in the EPL.
The rest of the players look abit lost, their passing is not as sharp as last few season. They need to change their tactic as they can't break down a 9 men defence, the team work up front is not there as compare with Pires and Bergkamp were around. The leadership to command and push the team to work harder is badly needed from henry. -
this is what happens when too many 1st teamers leave
i still believe rosicky and adebayor will shine along wif fabregas
-
the bigger pitch and of course Veira, whom they had still yet to get over with, regardless of how good their new players are they just can't provided the same kinda impact Veira has on the entire team, even thou its Henry that gets the most attention from the fans but its Veira that really keeps the team compact and the anchor man that links the attack as well as making the defends looks soild which in actual fact wasn't quite as soild as they are seems to be.
-
They must work harder, there are less creativity now pires is gone.. the newcomers are still finding their feet is EPL.. Somemore facing Man Utd while they are on form, hope they find their feet asap..
-
the pitch definately...
arsenal too used to playing the tight pitch at highbury...forces them to play their passing game more accurately... -
my friend say everyone treat henry like god, so they don't really take the chance to shoot.. later henry the god angry, so everything also pass to him
-
The midfielder are losing form in supply passing to henry's attack
-
i lost $20 on them on the match with middlesbrough
-
i see eboue as the one who always seems to conjure something out of nothing.
-
overplaying and not getting crosses in, simple as that.
hleb the most guilty one, not doing both at all....
i think they miss pires' diving in circumstances such as these. -
confidence.
arsenal Line up should goes like this:
it goes like this.
Baptista (henry)
Lunjberg Van persie Rosicky Helb
(walcott) (fabregas)
Giberto
Flamini Gallas Toure Eboue
Lehmann
Baptista can be use an target man or play behind henry. walcott should be introduce towards end of game for him to run at defenders with his pace. Rosicky and Van persie will add to the shooting power around the penalty box area.
Gallas and toure is my dream central defence. fast and strong.
flamini should be given chance after his good run during champion league after cole was injured.
the weakest link is Helb. it seem arsenal doesnt have a natural rigth side attacking winger. that why eboue overlapping run is needed. -
New Stadium, No good wingers, Young Unstable Defence, Injuries, those are just some of the many reasons given.
I think for AW, his new signings always need time to get used to it.
In my opinion, I will field this team:
Lehmann
Eboue, Toure, Gallas, Flamini
Hleb, Gilberto, Rosicky, Van Persie
Baptista, Walcott.
Henry needs a good rest and so does Ljunburg. Edebayor is not so consistant. He missed so many chances. -
1) most likely is players still tired from WC finals...
2) too many movements so squad unsettled
3) defence is mess, no reliable left def and central... gallas suits central and wenger should jz put flamini back to leftback rather than put unrelaible djourou in heart of def....
4) midfielders need to gel and ljungberg should return to right wing and let rosicky roam at left... fabregas should get some rest with baptista getting some games...
5) henry looks tired and the foot injury he got is a good time to let him rest... put van persie and walcott as forwards.... -
it is a risk but i hope wenger can give walcott more chance n i hope he can shine like fabregas.
jiayou gunners!
