caught alittle bit of it n yes they really lack a good captain to carry the team... maybe wenger should use the mad german as captain... central midfield lack stability with jz gilberto n diaby... its been a poor season of rebuilding but they can still recover by winning the UCL...Originally posted by troyer:saw the game against west brom... wat we were badly missing was leadership...
think we started off strongly and kinda got stale when the initial breakthru was not made... it seems to me like they can do realli well and score goals if they believed in themselves like the last 15 mins...but slacken or give up easily if can't penetrate after like 15-20mins and concede on counter attack.. this is not just based on yesterday game... and the biggest culprit is our moody captain who starts looking fed up and impatient when some players make mistake
sadly,in our crop of "experienced" players, i dun see anyone who can be better captain as well...sian... hope ppl like toure or even eboue get a chance sometime as these guys seem to have a cool head and keep trying the entire 90 mins and something the attackers can follow
lehmann not cool headed... and wenger will continue to use captaincy as a carrot to get henry to stay even though sometimes i think wenger himself knws henry suck at itOriginally posted by BrUtUs:caught alittle bit of it n yes they really lack a good captain to carry the team... maybe wenger should use the mad german as captain... central midfield lack stability with jz gilberto n diaby... its been a poor season of rebuilding but they can still recover by winning the UCL...
definately. He would have been our talisman for away games. Sadly this is his last season. Kudos to him for scoring that wonder goal on Bergkamp day. XDOriginally posted by iceFatboy:even as Henry said the bergkamp is the best partner.
I would said that if bergkamp dares to fly, then gunners will have more success..do you agree??
FREE FLOWING. Thats the kind of soccer i dig. Not pumping up long balls.Originally posted by T.Ryousuke:What I see now is a new set of players prepare for the new stadium.
A team of young unknown and yet telanted players, like the 90's Man utd/Ajax team. Result speak for themself, the performance say it all. Attractive and entertaining to watch, a kind of total football plus imagination, a free flowing soccer.
ya they abit losing steam... but hope they go final n win...Originally posted by dragg:arsenal were not very convincing against villareal.

To all Arsenal fans, let's discuss on what might happen to the Gunners as this season ends.
1) In the Premiership, do you think we can beat Tottenham to the fourth spot by the end of the season?
[b]Possible but must work for it and no injuries especially the defence.
2) Is there the slightest possibility that Arsenal might win the Champions League this season?
From the way, they played, Narcelona looked more coordinated. Slim but still got chance.
3) In the off-season, what players should Arsene Wenger buy? What void needs to be filled? Will Thierry Henry leave Arsenal for Barcelona?[/b]
i doubt they can beat barca or milan.Originally posted by BrUtUs:ya they abit losing steam... but hope they go final n win...
milan is possible to beat... but barca is not easy as no team has any solution yet...Originally posted by dragg:i doubt they can beat barca or milan.

Yes.Provided Wenger plays Gilberto, Henry and Toure tmrw.Rotation can be carried out to rest them for Villareal around the 60 min mark.
I'd got for a midfield of
Hleb-Gilberto-Fabregas-Van Persie-Reyes
Henry
Van Persie can interchange with Fabregas in the "hole" and Reyes will provide the pace required for stretching Spurs. After the 60 min mark, take off Hleb and bring on Adebayor, push Van Persie to the RM role, making it 4-4-2.Then replace Fabregas with Diaby and Pires for Gilberto.
2) Is there the slightest possibility that Arsenal might win the Champions League this season?
Yes.
3) In the off-season, what players should Arsene Wenger buy? What void needs to be filled? Will Thierry Henry leave Arsenal for Barcelona?
Henry will stay.Wenger will probably buy Torres, a midfielder(van der vaart is a good, cheap choice) and a goalkeeper.I hope he goes for either Landreau or Hildebrand.
