"For maybe five or six minutes in the first half we suffered a little bit, but overall we were always on top of the game but we couldn't score.
"We lacked a little bit mental sharpness maybe because of Tuesday night but overall we gave absolutely everything physically until the last second of the game."

incredulous !!!
Idiotic managers who are "honest", and forget the public nature of their jobs or that their players are mostly teenagers go to clubs like Newcastle, Inter, Aston Villa-- perpetually underacheiving clubs-- and fail. I'm highly confident what wenger says to the media is not necessarily what he believes; he deals with his players in private, as he should.
Your best post in a while, Shadow :wink:
On a serious note, you are spot on. Wenger, being in a pool full of media-sharks, is doing the best thing he can. Defend his team, even if they play like sh*te.
The dressing room is a different story for sure....
No one ever said that he should publicly criticize his players.But why can't he be honest and say that over 90 minutes Blackburn were the better team and deserved to win this game ????
If you saw the game you d know after the goal it was all Blackburn in the first half,we did not have a single shot on goal.He says "we lacked a little bit mental sharpness maybe because of Tuesday night",Chelsea played on Wednesday night and in a more intense match,they wer'nt at their best but found a way to beat Portsmouth.
He should defend his players from the media without the shadow of a doubt but how would there be a problem if he was honest and said that we did deserve to loose,will that give his players a complex that Blackburn are a better team with better individual players ???
Probably you would say that we dominated the 2nd half and played in Blackburns half and they had 10 men behind the ball,so what they scored and sat on their lead,tried playing on the counter.It was our job to break them down and yesterday we were'nt good enough.
