I don't blame Wenger not signing players in January. Well, of course things could be better if he recall Vela from Spain.arsenal_hleb said:people argues wenger can't foresee all the injuries and suspention at the same time. FFS it happened to us so many times over the years.jay-d said:Big Poppa said:I think Ade let the disappointment of missing that early chance get to him, his performance deteriorated badly afterwards. He wasn't the only one though, our general play in the last third was piss poor. Hleb was extremely ineffectual and predictable and Cesc wasn't great.
At some stage of the season, our lack of genuine wide options was always going to come back and bite us hard in the ass. Seeing our best centre-half running around like a headless chicken on the wing in the last 20 mins kinda summed it up.
The highlighted part basically sums it up. We should have bought so we had options when this happens as it ALWAYS does.
wenger is just stubborn in this aspect. otherwise he would have won alot more trophies
But there was a simpler solution to the team's problem today. Playing Sagna on the wing with Kolo behind him. Somehow Wenger suddenly thought Kolo has all the necessairy skills and confidence to play in tight space on the wing. Frankly, I would rather Kolo stay at the back, defende well behind Sagna, and act as an alternative source from Cesc to deliver pinponted long balls for Ade.
