Will Arsenal qualify for the 4th CL spot?
-
What do you think guys? This has been a real dissapointing season for me and from the looks of things, securing 4th spot is going to be be real fight.
i really hope Arsenal stays strong. And hopefully once the season ends, Arsene Wenger will dip into his transfer kitty to get a world class winger.Sigh. One can only hope -
I think the gooners will make it to the fourth spot and the last spot for the Champions League.. With the resource available to the Gooners, i'm sure they will end up being fourth placed team..
How bout the rest?? Comments pls.. -
I doubt Gunners can make it with mediocre match performances in the previous 2 matches.
Unless they buck up or they'll be playing in the UEFA Cup next season.
Cheers.

What do you think went wrong this season? Inexperience?

After watching so many arsenal matches over the years, i think Pires's loss was the greatest. I dunno if u all agree, but to me that's where we are really lacking. Esp. his goal.
Before Pires, there was overmars. But now, Rosciky and Hleb are different sort of wingers... and with the 2 of them combined, they still score lesser goals than what Pires contributed single handedly.
Our midfield looks strong and Diaby, Cesc and Denilson looks more than able to step up. Defensive wise, maybe we need 1 strong defender? to deal with tall and muscular players Drogba or lanky ones like crouch.
Striker wise Henry and Van persie looks a good combi, though i am unsure and bayo. How i wish we actually bought owen when he ws available. -

If there inexperience, i would doubt they would be in the top 5 positions..
With Henry injured, they seriously needs a proven goalscorer.. As Henry will still be injured for the next few matches or so, we needs a proven goalscorer urgently.. -
Last 2 years at this stage Wenger will complaint on the pack schedule.
This year out of FA and UCL and lose to a bottom 3 team, he should think hard where go wrong. -
u think for next season van persie and henry will be good enough?Originally posted by turbo_drift:For me is, they lack of goalscorers..

both are excellent strikers -

pires is the ownage. It was a mistake to sell him off so early when you actually keep old and slow players like bergkamp for so long.
-
They should sign another good striker like Eto'o.. Eto'o can provide the goals for the gooners and most probably they will end up scoring much better than the Red Devils..Originally posted by ben1xy:u think for next season van persie and henry will be good enough?

the ashley cole, pires, henry combination on the left flank was unstoppable. ... the good old days... sigh -
and play RVP and Henry with eto?Originally posted by turbo_drift:They should sign another good striker like Eto'o.. Eto'o can provide the goals for the gooners and most probably they will end up scoring much better than the Red Devils..

What do you all think abt Baptista. Should we sign him? or send him back? he's only shown occasional sparks of brilliance imo -
i think they need SAF's hair dryer treatmentOriginally posted by felirox:Arsenal can and will qualify for CL SPOT! Pls wenger,motivate ur boys and train their finishing

He shud be given a ticket to madrid by now. He cant cope with the pace of the English football.Originally posted by ben1xy:and play RVP and Henry with eto?

Arsenal is too complacent atm. (even if they have won nothing). Their team is full of youngsters who only perform from time to time and likes to talk BIG eg Fabregas.
Last season, they manage to scrape through and beat spurs to fourth place. This season, it looks like they are going to have to fight for 4th place as well. They are going to face bolton soon. -
i think still can....cos bolton inconsistent recently also...
-
they r too complacent. there is absolutely no excuse to lose or draw to small clubs!
wenger need to buy star players next season! while he can boosts bout his young players, he must consider the fact his young players will walk off to other clubs should arsenal fail to can a ucl spot next season!
somehow i feel tis team has lost their magic once vieira were gone. -
i wonder if Arsenal keeps him, where will they play him?Originally posted by felirox:He shud be given a ticket to madrid by now. He cant cope with the pace of the English football. -
I think we need a Marquee plyer in defence and midfieldOriginally posted by HyuugaNeji:Arsenal is too complacent atm. (even if they have won nothing). Their team is full of youngsters who only perform from time to time and likes to talk BIG eg Fabregas.

i wonder who are the available wingers

tht being said, diaby and denilson look really good wouldn't u say? -
Arse shld get the fourth spot - no doubts. They have enough talent & experience to see themselves there.
the problem i think its because the youngster still have not the time playing together and gelling. Many of them are thrown into the cauldron with the injuries to RVP and Thierry Henry and what nots.
Reyes is coming back but he is not happy at Arsenal and Batispta is not faring well in Emirates. Its suay for Arsenal in a way because almost all their strike force is decimated - the likes of Theo.
But their midfielder is still quite formidable and like the matches before, they created tons of chances but fail to put away any. They are relying on Adebayor now but he is not the kind to deliver day in day out, he needs a foil and there is currently none. -
arsenal's stink starts when they keep holding draw wif minor clubs wif minor competition cup matches, it costs them to play more matches n increase injuries among their players.
rite now they have no more cup worries, but still kena by biasness of englisg pig referees' judgment.
another factor is the lack of confidence among the young players. they perform well but luck are not on their side. tis cost the morale of the players to be low...
