Arsenal Are Not Good Enough - Stop Dreaming Arsene Wenger

Arsenal lost to Liverpool 4-1 today after the lost to Everton two week ago.

This Arsenal team is not good enough!!!

Arsenal used to have very clever and penetrative wingers like Pires who can be in the right place at the right time to score goals.

Rosicky and Hleb cannot score goals. This give the team a lot of stress if the forwards are not performing.

There is no real quality in the team. The defense suck and Lehman is too slow in responding.

Henry is also not performing. The whole team are not playing to win. They just pass the balls around. Their passing is not sleek and penetratrative. The Strikers misfire and cannot convert any half chance.

Just tell me..... how can this team not be the laughing stock of the premiership?

With Arsene Wenger keep insisting that there are potential in the team and in reality, the team cannot match that of Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool or even Spurs, Bolton, Everton.. team that are in the mid table can also beat Arsenal.

Just tell me, how good is this Arsenal team if even a mid table team in the Premiership can beat them?

Yet, Arsene Wenger, in ALL HIS WISDOM, choose to believe that this team is trophies challenger. Alas....stop dreaming Arsene Wenger.

If you do not get more experience players next year and get rid of poor performing players like Senderos and some of the players, Arsenal will be in the same position next season.

No money to buy players? Blame it on yourself for throwing all the money to build teh Emirates Stadium when the finance is not ready.

Even if you have the finance, top players may think twice before joing Arsenal. I think Gallas is already regreting it, even he is silent about it.


Do something, Arsene Wenger for next season. This season is considered "GONE" for Arsenal. Not sure if they can secure Champion league next season also.

Sell Patrick Viera, Sell Pires, Sell Lauren, Sell Chambell and believe in your young players.... stop dreaming Arsene Wenger, this time i come down on my knee to beg you to STOP DREAMING and get REAL.

When your team is not good enough, admit it. Stop giving excuses like "no luck", "miss chances", "referee Decision", "FA working against Arsenal" , "Opponent, hit and run tactic or long ball tactic", or any other excuses you can think off..

Just Reorg the team and make a better future for us Arsenal Fans.

We are DISAPPOINTED.

Wake UP Arsene Wenger And Arsenal

Yes Wake up from your dream and face reality.

The current Arsenal team are not good enough to compete for any trophies.

Stop Dreaming!!!!

Arsene Wenger is talking of achieving second position in the premiership when they bow out of the Carlington cup, FA cup and Champion League.

Let me tell you that Arsenal is in danger of losing their third placing to Liverpool.

I watch how Arsenal lost to Everton yesterday from a last minute goal from Johnson.

Arsenal has no team work. Everyone is playing for their own interest. No slick passing, no through pass and running into position, nothing.

My friend told me that Diaby is one of the better one. I disagree. He has no ball sense. Many a time, it is required of him to pass the ball to create clear opening for his teammates, but he choose to bulldozed his way through to a "berlin wall" of defenders.

Everyone is playing for themself. Rosicky and Hleb are not performing. So is the guy on loan from Real madrid, Baptista.

I am utterly disappointed!!!

They will lose to Liverpool next weekend if they will play like that.

Arsene Wenger is a Purist, not a Realist

I totally agree with this guy. Arsenal is not playing to win. Who care about beautiful football if you cannot win? Look at Arsenal, they keep attacking and attacking but cannot score. The opponent counter-attack once and they score. How often have this happen to Arsenal?

I am speechless.....

From a Forum after the fall of Arsenal at the hand of PSV:


Well i'm totally gutted after that but had a retrospective think on the way back thinking how United and Chelsea keep achieving what we cannot and at the heart of it is Wengers ideology about football.

Wenger is an idealist he wants to see beautiful football and perfect play and at the heart of his teams is that philosophy. He is also a purist in it and thats why when other teams come to play and defend or be negative he says people come to football to be entertained etc. Unfortunately his idealism is not very practical and when he builds these teams with that idea in mind and assumes or hopes it will lead to trophies. However, as much as i hate them Fergue and Mourinho are realists and their main goal when they build their teams is winning as Mourinho said on the weekend. If they can get some good football as well so be it. But they focus on building a team capable of winning and challenging for trophies. Unlike Wenger who builds a team capable of great football and believes the results will come. In reality this doesn't occur everything needs to be perfect to work and it seldom is.

I think as a team we have lost our focus somewhat in whats important. Yes we love good football but not without end product and challenging for things otherwise its hollow. We have put too much emphasis on playing great football rather then winning and getting results and we are now suffering for it.

I'm not advocating Wenger being sacked or anything but he must compromise in his idealism and focus the team on winning not on the brand of football we play. If he cannot, and this is the problem as he is a purist , add a compromise i can't see us winning or challenging for much with Wenger at the healm. We may win the odd trophy but not because of the way we play inspit of it. When we moan about entertaining the crowd and teams playing negative they do it to get a result and win a match which is at the heart of their focus. It now needs to be at the heart of ours and a reassement in the team we have buillt is needed if we want to move forwards.

Reasons Why Arsenal Flock This Season...

If you notice why Arsenal flock this season, this are the reasons:

1) Lack of consistency.
2) Cannot cope with the rough play of the opponent.
3) Miss chances ( some very direct and clear cut chance )
4) Referee mistake. ( penalty should be given but ignored )
5) FA England seen to biased against Arsenal
6) Lack of Luck

This is a reply from one of my friend who is also an Arsenal fan:

I used to agree on point no. 2. Now I don't. It's not true that they cannot cope with the rough play. They tried to play football, but the rough opponents do not, so they will bulldoze at tyou instead of the ball, and point no. 5 and 4 promotes that. So when Arsenal changed tactics and play rough too then they gets yellow card and red carded. Now you tell me how to cope with these opponents when there are double standard on the pitch.

My reply:

Arsene Wenger should instill in the team a spirit not just to play beautiful passing football but to win the game at any cost. They need to flexible enough to change the tactic and style of play according to what the opponent dishes out. But i just feel very strongly that the present lot in Arsenal are good players but the younger one need to get mature fast (for any trophies hope next season). All except Sendoros.
He the weaklink in Arsenal backline. We lost in the Carlington and FA tournament this season because of him. He got the Liverpool look, sell him to Liverpool.


Today, Arsenal will host PSV at home. My prediction: Arsenal 3 PSV 1. I want Arsenal to go trough.. with a bit of luck, i hope.
