howdy, watching drogba scoring the goal to make it 2-1 to chelsea was heartwrenching. It was a match that, i assume, most arsenal fans would want us to win as the FA cup really feel like the most realistic chance for any silverware this season.
But what wenger did was baffling. with that, i mean mind-blowing.
he claimed to have 'rested' song. c'mon, song is having the best form of his short career now and i bet he must have been dying to play that game but to leave him on the bench and change to denilson and diaby, with the latter not played for a month now, was just plain puzzling. To assume that he rested song for the liverpool game would only mean that wenger is still delusional that arsenal can still win the lge.
Or maybe he wanted to protect the 4th place and push for 3rd. No one knows whats going on in the mysterios mind of monsieur wenger.
BUT, to place arshavin on the bench was a complete rubbish decision. I bet the man himself must have thought what the hell did i do wrong to be on a bench in the semi finals.
He was on the bench with nasri, that was crazy. 2 of our most influential midfielders, on the bench, vs chelsea, fa cup semi finals.
How many times would arshavin play in a fa cup semi final? probably 0 if wenger does what he did ytd. Arshavin is the player to change the game. He was fresh, no ucl duty, hungry to impress his own national coach and wenger places diaby.
It was stupid. Plain utter dumbness.
The goals were conceded due to shocking goalkeeping mistakes. I blame fabianski for the goals but i would blame wenger for the defeat. Wenger seldom make the wrong decisions but he definitely lost it last night.
However, with that, i do not mean that i want wenger out of the team. I am still 100% behind that man and i still believe he will bring us to glory. Perhaps a better explanation can be given for his actions by him himself.
Hope is not all lost. There is champions league to play for. This season can still prove to be a successful one. The young ones will learn, hopefully, and come back stronger. I still believe with an added defender and midfielder, we can win the double or even treble nxt season.
Youngsters like gibbs, ramsey and fabianski have to be given more time. The worrying players are denilson and diaby because they simply are not arsenal material. If they can really grow and become arsenal greats in the future, then i will gladly eat my words.
This has been a fairly analytical post, and a calm and clear headed one at that. Yes i am disappointed but i believe something great is happening. C'mon you gunners!
