come on!! Bamby on Ice, aka Sonogoals will save the day.

No outfield players signed during the summer, the ONLY team in the top 5 European leagues to do so.

World-renowned fitness coach Raymond Verheijen says Arsene Wenger must be held responsible for Arsenal’s poor injury record.

The Gunners have been blighted by injuries in recent seasons and are currently without EIGHT senior stars after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott joined the ever-growing casualty list at the north London club.

Verheijen, who has worked with a host of leading clubs across Europe on the conditioning of players, has criticised Wenger’s training methods in the past - and he said that the Frenchman’s ‘outdated’ approach is costing the club dear.

The outspoken Dutchman said:  “If you look at the facts, what you see is that Arsenal are the number one by far in terms of injuries in the last decade in the Premier League.

“In particular, you have this group of young players who are consistently injured for months, season after season. We are talking about Ramsey, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wilshere and also in the past Sagna, Van Persie and Fabregas.

“Young players are getting injured every season for weeks or months and that is a very worrying pattern.

“In the '90s, Arsene Wenger came from France to England and he introduced revolutionary methods - methods that people were not familiar with yet in the UK. At that stage he was a revolutionary coach.

“He has been applying those methods for ten, twenty years and when you apply the same methods for twenty years, at some stage people will catch you up and they will develop further and then they will be ahead of you. From a revolutionary coach, you have all of a sudden become an old-school coach because you stuck to methods from twenty years ago.

“The main reason for injures in football is accumulation of fatigue because when you accumulate fatigue over time your brain has less control over your body and your coordination goes down and then you are vulnerable to injuries.

“The question is: who is the main reason for fatigue? The main reason for the fatigue is the fitness football coach because he is responsible for the planning of training. Arsene Wenger is responsible for fatigue and injuries and the medical staff can only cure the problem.”

  
@Talksport.


Got to laugh at the suggestion that our medical team can cure them. That's a novel idea.

forget sanogoals - if Giroud gets injured tomorrow then we will have to play away in Munich and the NLD with JOEL CAMPBELL as our one remaining striker. :shock:

that for me is a sackable offence

In this mornings press conference he played down how serious the injuries are, yet on Tuesday he said he kept the first teamers on the bench to protect them.
Every word he utters is just contradictory bullshit.

Does anyone else think that playing the Ox and Theo in Tuesday, Wenger wanted them to get injured so he can 1. Dig out the international managers and 2. Get Giroud back in the starting eleven and give Campbell a run in the team?
It seems a strange decision to keep those two playing when he has rested 6 other players.

No, I don't think there was an ulterior motive or wish on Wenger's part. I think he is just THAT inept. :|
