I couldn't believe he'd even look at us. Almost felt embarrassed he was joining us.One of the happiest day of my life as an arsenal fan
Those well 'grilled' sides were far too hot for Wenger. 'Go out lads and just do what you want, we're obviously going to get a roasting, so there's no point in any tactics'.That was Wenger's biggest fault. Giving our players tactical flexibility and putting so much trust on their technical ability. When we came up against a well grilled team, we were always exposed.
There's been maybe two pertinent critiques of the guy posted here in the past three months, but I couldn't tell you what they were because they are completely subsumed beneath continual tsunamis of delusion, revision and bullshit that I definitely did not bother to even consider reading. Can tell they are nonsense because nothing of any value about this sport takes that long to say.
Some people in here are posting to themselves like they are in the DMs of some chick who doesn't even remember meeting them.
Yeah I saw that too, mindboggling stuff. Like an alternate reality.Yeah man. What a mess of a thread.
These guys making up stuff as they go, I mean Özil not participating in the build up might be the dumbest sh!t I ever have read on here.
Even if it wasn't the case, the guy was averaging up to 65 passes per game during some of his seasons here; were all those passes in the final 3rd(the most difficult section of the field to operate in) or what? If so, how is that a problem; that is absolutely phenomenal numbers by any standards of the game.
Jeez.
Best thread on the forum by a mile.Yeah I saw that too, mindboggling stuff. Like an alternate reality.
No teams will ever play like this again in modern football (To give freedom to players, to execute the general tactical philosophy).This is wrong; the top technical players can still play with that freedom. Wenger was unlucky due to the number of injuries and had players with low defensive workrate.
Exactly.You can't express yourself in modern Football. Everything move on the pitch is directed by the coach and pre-planned. That was Wenger's biggest fault. Giving our players tactical flexibility and putting so much trust on their technical ability. When we came up against a well drilled team, we were always exposed.

I think it was Fabregas saying in an interview that he was gobsmacked when he arrived at Barca and saw how specific the training sessions were compared to what he was used to at Arsenal.Those well 'grilled' sides were far too hot for Wenger.

Obviously.I think it was Fabregas saying in an interview that he was gobsmacked when he arrived at Barca and saw how specific the training sessions were compared to what he was used to at Arsenal.
Barca can **** off. Hope they go bankrupt.Obviously.
"The training is so good in Barca"
"But Cesc, you refused to train at Arsenal"
"Shush!!!"
...
"The training is so good in Barca"
AmenBarca can **** off. Hope they go bankrupt.
Can you provide a link to that?I think it was Fabregas saying in an interview that he was gobsmacked when he arrived at Barca and saw how specific the training sessions were compared to what he was used to at Arsenal.
Can you provide a link to that?
Fabregas:
Arsenal 3.2 shots per game, Barcelona 1.6
Arsenal 1.9 dribbles per game, Barcelona 1.6
Arsenal 2.3 tackles per game, Barcelona 1.4
He gave the best account of himself at Arsenal and in some respects, failed to reproduce that level of consistency at Barcelona where he found himself less in demand, less in control, less in the spotlight and, in the end, less required. But yeah, Arsène just told him to go out and do what he wanted.
Sure, but it was worth it trying to build around him.The best in a position that was basically extinct
If you see rosicky/Cazorla/Nasri at 10, our team worked so much better, and we regain full control in midfield.
Özil never helped our team to dominate possession/midfield play.
