12 hours on from my blog last night and im still angry, there is an undercurrent in this Arsenal team that just gives opposition confidence. We are far too soft. Its not the result that makes me angry, its the manner of the result.
To have realistic title chances we have to go to January without dropping any points and stay undefeated, we play Chelsea and Manchester United. Do i see us winning both those games?
No.
I think we need a change of formation, we cant have a midfield of Walcott, Denilson, Cesc and Nasri because there is no defensive player protecting the defence, we cant have Diaby in there because he is an attacking player, Bischoff is a playmaker, Wilshere and Ramsey are far too young. Rosicky is not a defensive midfielder and Eboue isnt even a midfielder. Song looks ok but nothing special. Il spell out the point im making.
We. need. a. defensive. midfielder.
We. lack. balance.
We have to face facts, the team needs changing and Wenger didnt do his job over the summer.
One more trophyless season and an ever growing anti-Wenger contingent will get louder and louder.
We have to shut them up Arsene.

We do not defend well as a team, period. All this talk about a defensive midfielder? All you need is for the closest person to the ball to slow down the offence while the rest of the team advance beyond their attack (thereby forming a wall to protect the goal). We talk so much about defensive midfielders and end up hawking off the resposibilty to an indivdual. It's a 'TEAM' sport (and dispells the 'total football' ethic surrounding a Wenger side). We also need a leader on the pitch; that's what I miss the most about Flamini (a midfielder). He instilled that much needed urgency into the side when we're laxed and often barked orders to calm proceedings when the need arises. I thought Fabregas, as our most experienced midfielder (coupled with the fact that he wants to be the captain), would've naturally assumed this role. Why do you need an armband to show some passion? As much as I root for the guy, he's been way below par this season. Denilson for large periods of the game played very well defensively, but the rest of his midfield colleagues were not at their paces (otherwise, Spurs woldn't have had a sniff at our goal). Van Persie played better defence than most in our midfield; UNACCEPTABLE!
N.B,
We are not winning anything with average or non-existing central defenders. We need to purchase 'very capable defenders' and Djourou does not fall into that category.
I partly blame Song for Spurs' 3rd goal. He (unaware of his surroundings) was too close to Clichy for a pass (leading to indecision) and rather than sprinting to get goal side of a jogging Jeanas, dallied. I've got bum knees and I could've done better. Yes Clichy tripped, but Jeanas had so much to do. That showed a lack of respect for the opposition. Our central defence probably could've closed him down better; not turning your back to a tame shot, SILVESTRE.
Very very good points there mate and thanks for taking the time to write them..
