With the blow of a final whistle, the red half of Manchester roared in ecstasy, as Sir Alex Fergusons men march forward as the unstoppable object
Zach Johnson Jersey in the English Premier League. Meanwhile in North London, Arsene Wenger returns to the same old script that has played out continuously like a broken CD record, and signs of change seem forlorn and inconceivable. The early season domination, fraught with winter injuries and setbacks, with title aspirations shattered in a quick proce sion of games is fast becoming an Oscar winning manuscript. What started out as adventure and action is slowly and sadly slipping into the realms of tragedy.Whilst Wenger can argue that injuries seem to be the
Deng Gak Jersey scourge of Arsenals misfortunes; a theory that seems only to apply when it befits the Gunners woes, the harsh reality that the Arsenal football is pleasing on the outside but lacking spine and depth on the inside is all too clear to see. For Arsenal fans at games like this one Domination, not penetration reflects the frustration of the most ardent of Gooners, whose predicament seems to fall on deaf ears at Monsieur Wenger. It is easy to suggest that Arsenal lack a finisher, a proven goalscorer that can clinically convert a half-chance in a game absent of relatively easy chances. For many however,
Kameron McGusty Jersey the importance of a genuine leader (or leaders for that matter) is extremely under-valued in the modern day game. Some captains put their heads where others wont put their foot in to use the proverbial phrase, whilst others marshal by example using vocals. Some may argue that a captain doesnt need to be the John Terry or the Steven Gerrard of the world, but one can see at Arsenal, that they lack a certain edge to their personality when they really need someone to take the game by the scruff of its neck. Wengers adamance that Fabregas is a great and quality player is unquestionable, but to make him captain on the basis of it should not be the case. Let Fabregas do what he is best at; influencing and dictating the game, rather than consoling Laurent Koscielny or Manuel Almunia for a monumental cock-up. The back four at Arsenal hardly look intimidating, with both Szczesny and Koscielny looking more at place on presenting a childrens show with their baby-like faces than scaring the opposition centre forward.Alan Hansen recently picked it up on Match of
Sean Taylor Jersey the Day, when he questioned the desire of some of the Arsenal
Andre Johnson Jersey players, with their lacklustre body language displaying an air of arrogance and lazine s when defending a throw in for example. Arms up in the air, Bacary Sagna looks around like a headle s chicken to find someone he can use as a scapegoat for a poorly defended set-piece when it was his man that got away. There appears to be reluctance at Arsenal to step up to the mantle and take responsibility, preferring to use feeble excuses to justify a poor performance or result. Whilst Robin van Persie, clearly overpowered with heart-breaking emotion, called the referee a joke and that he had cost Arsenal the game, was slightly exaggerated. Apart from a brief 5-10 minute period at the Emirates when they scored two goals, Arsenal rarely threatened Barcelona to even warrant a token of congratulations for coming so close against the
Dejan Vasiljevic Jersey best team in the world.Wenger must react sooner rather than later about his sides frailties, but with the last 5 years in mind, we might be saying the same thing over and over again in 2015, by which time Arsene Wenger would probably still congratulate himself on coming in the top four for the umpteenth time without winning a title.
