Wenger: We will play our normal game

Manager Arsène Wenger has admitted that he has no special plans in-store for the match against Tottenham Hotspur later today.

Press pundits are speculating that the Frenchman will instruct his wide players to cross the ball more into the opposition penalty area, as goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has been known to falter at crosses.

But Wenger says that crossing is not one of the Gunners' greater strengths, and will instead focus on their own game.

He said: "It is not our basic strength.

"Cudicini is a good goalkeeper and I believe that, before he got injured, Heurelho Gomes did well.

"He had a difficult start but he has a positive attitude and he wants to come out for everything.

"He realised after a while that in England it is not possible [to do that] and he adjusted well.

"They now have two good goalkeepers but we won't base our tactics especially on that."

Well why not AW?? why not?

Got to start looking at other teams weak areas and exploit them. Just like every other prem team is doing to us (with some success I may add)

ok our normal game just won't do...
Eboue has to go. He has now single handily cut down any hope of the title and now the last place of the champions league is in jeopardy....his attitude is starting to be contagous to other members of the team who are now whinning for calls...and the youngsters like denilson can't afford to follow down that path...ashy will give us some depth at midfield and up top, but the defense is a big, big question mark....and geting thinner each day we are put in desperate straits.

clare & daddy.
