In my opinion – the squad lacks a killer instinct- the last three games we have been contet with stroking the ball around without any real drive an effort until the ast 15 mins of the game. So every team comes with the gameplan-don’t concede early and see if u can nick a goal on the counter-and this strategy has been used well by opponents. The squad does not posses that killer instinct and this was proven more on saturday after Kolo equalized. The team was celebrating that we equalized, Kolo shud’ve taken the ball out of the net and raced back to halfline. It was as if the draw would help-u still don’t have destiny in your own hands. We know have to hope that Man U and Chelsea drop points outside of us beating them to win championship.

People don,t remember AW never use to buy cheap or boys before if he did there would be no transitional period like we are in now he bought the best men he could with available funds this started with Abramovich raising the bar ,once the average age of team is up to 26 then it should be a steady flow in & out on & on

20 goals a year is the measuring stick 4 a good striker but TH was 20 a year in 2nd gear a big year was 30 & this whole situation started with Ade not passing to bentner as 4 the rest unlucky own goal 1 nil down chasing, Wigan impossible pitch MiddlesB instead of 1 nil up then probable 3 nil 1 nil down another bad decision chasing again thats 4 points robbed & i have seen games ManU 2 points gift Chealsea 3 points gift but as 4 not winning in x amount of years if u don,t have the money to buy the best men u have to find another way and AW has he has set up the best scouting system to buy the best boys but if u buy the best boys it takes time 4 them to grow up

We’re 2nd in the league and in the quarters of the Champions League. We have a manager who’s won 3 titles in 12 years (a record only bettered by Sir Alex Ferguson with an extra 10 years of prep and a whole lot of extra money) and who’s sides play the most attractive football the premiership has seen. We’ve not won in 4 games, but neither have we lost. For the love of God, get some perspective!!

the team has fissured into two that is what the problem it. we have the hleb-fabregas-flamini group all passing to themselves, and the the kolo-eboue-sagna group. How many times did you see a pass from one side of the pitch to another?

I agree with every word israelil gooner says.Someone must put pressure on wenger to deliver and stop all this talking of ( he has got a job for life and so on).In 12 years he has won only 3 titles and nothing in europe plus every year he sacrifices the FA cup and the League Cup for something which we cannot achieve.Does not the board know that we want to win something every season plus the fact that winning breeds confidence.look at chelsea they take each competition seriously and that is why they are more successful than us in the recent past .Wenger cannot motivate his players plus his rubbish talking that winning is not everything.Someone has to tell him that it is in fact everything.

Gunnerforever , U must be the same person that writes on a CLF !
he thinks we will win against chevski at home .. or Man U at home ..
last time we went to either venue we got pants -ed !
who are you kidding .. ??

We needed to get these easy points at the business end of the season to ensure we could of lost those games , and still not worry about the title race !
I have faith in the team , but 2 players are total gits !
ade is the main loser ! and eboue needs to go also !
Eboue isn’t so bad least he can pass , but he sure ain’t no winger !
and NEVER scoring in the EPL isn’t the best stat to have when we need to score to get points on the board !

But ade is a total gimp ! cant shoot cant score what the fuck do we need him for ?

lets just hope RVP and walcott get some more time together !

it will be our only saving grace this season ! rosicky coming back wouldn’t be a bad thing either ..

Ok, I could be off the mark here but has our drop in form be down to Flamini.

The slump, if you can call if that started against Birmingham. He made the foul the lead to the free kick and then he made the pass to clichy that lead to the pen.

So now the confidence of the team is down. Article appear all over the shop about if Flamini is staying or going. Wenger admits the Fabregas Flamini partnership is critical.

Flamini’s game has dropped say 10%. Hard to prove but that is my opinion. And that is the difference from him being a good players and a great player.

The pace in the team is lacking. There is a lack of confidence as well.

He needs to sign a contract ASAP, before Chelsea would be great. Let him worry about playing football and returning to being a great player.

Perhaps then, the draws will turn into wins.

Arsene never criticize his players even when they’re rubbish. In fact, he keeps praising them. Not that this is wrong, but just look at Ade’s ego and eboue’s behaviour, for examples. So, for the players, why change when le boss says nothing?

There is one main reason for the lack of titles:
Arsene lets his big ego,lead his way.
the arsenal board of directors’ just care about kipping the money that we pay for the team(tickets,merchandise,ext’).
we cant gain titles without investing in the squad, Arsene thinks that he is more clever then life,,,,well he isn’t!!!!
our team is very healthy,and talented.but with three more big players(not 16 years old kids)we can corner the world,but Wenger just think that his so so brilliant and his got all the answers.
on the other hand the directors,should CORRECT the manager and tell him that he cant gamble on the success of the team,in clubs like Madrid,united and Barcelona,it could not happened.
the upsetting thing is that we have the money to buy these stars,but the board just don’t care about OUR club’ and about the fans(the best loyal fans in the world)!!!
i think that the fans should raise there voice,and tell the board who really OWN the club!!!
