THE WENGER THREAD

[officepest]

So

Wenger

What do we do now?

Sunderland game showed me one thing. He has a plan B but plan B didn't work for now

Well folks, he has one more opening day fixture till his contract is negotiated.

For me, he had the player for plan B but didn't implement it coz he didn't change system or instruct the other players to cross the ball into him. They kept playing it into the big mans feet. Why he insists on playing 5 in midfield to mediocre teams is beyond me at home.

It was flavour of the month some years back so he assumed it would help in Europe with our personnel at the time. Unforunately, he has never grasped the intricacies of 4-4-3/4-5-1/4-2-3-1 or whatever we attempt to play and just expects us to roll over teams.

I cannot understand playing one up front at home, esp. to 'lesser' opposition. It is the single most annoying tactical bollocks-up by Wenger. He does it every single week, and it must never get old as I don't see the old duffer changing anytime soon.

Very informative post

I can't believe that my latest post on here has just been locked because it was considered to be a wind up!
myself and Babatunde appear to be the only people on here recoginsing what is going on at the club.

I think since this forum's relaunch it appears to have been infiltrated by people at the club who are censoring any criticism.
what other explanation for some of flash gunners posts?

Fer Fuck's sake STOP YER BITCHIN AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN.

Does anybody want to offer an answer to the following (theoretical) question which was the subject of heavy debate amongst some friends and fellow Gooners on Saturday:

If all 20 current managers in the Barclays Premier League were given a squad of 22 League One players picked at random on July 1st - where would they lead them to over the course of the following League 1 season.

I think I would place AW in the bottom 5!

Impossible to tell. You would have to bear in mind the difference between a squad with no goalkeepers to one with a good one. There is also a mass difference in squads, so it would depend who picked up a higher proportion of the squads of the top teams.

I assume this is a slight at Wenger's tactical knowledge, but it's actually got more to do with quickly building an unknown side into one capable of winning most games.

If this is the case then Wenger's title inn his first full season in charge stands him in good stead. Even the managers with the best reputation for tactical knowledge e.g. Moyes or Ferguson have been with a stable squad for a number of years

My guess is the likes of Di Matteo, Allerdyce and the guy at Aston Villa would be at the top. Pardew has managed there recently as well as Adkins. But think Wenger would safely be in top 10.

What you've got to remember though is this is largely irrelevant. The reason being that the management of Elite players is a different animal and I don't believe any of the above names would say lead Barcelona to Champions League glory.

[OneBardGooner]

I think he would be in the Top 3.

Has Babatunde accepted your friend request on Facebook yet, Red? It'll be a shame if he hasn't because you've been making such an effort to make him like you.

If he can't love you for you then you're better off without, mate.

Spot on, Sammy. Apologies.

Wenger is a genius and should be given a job for life. Can't wait for him to bring Denilson back
