It's high time Wenger started a STRIKER in his first XI. We only have 1 pathetic striker who keeps bleating to the media on how he's the one yet the manager doesn't seem to trust him enough to start him. I mean, where is the logic? If he's good to play 60 minutes, then start him, and then take him off. 60 minutes with a STRIKER could make a huge difference. Instead of being 2-0 down when you introduce him, perhaps our toothless attack may have reaped a goal thanks to putting a tall person in the box.
It's obvious that Wenger clearly thinks Bendtner isn't goo enough. Yet he refused to sign a striker. I don't think providing good competition for the big Dane is a bad thing, considering how much he needs to be brought back down to earth constantly because he's an arrogant ass who likes to get ahead of himself. But hey, no other striker except numero uno so the only thing Wenger can do now, is to START HIM.
Maybe he's just afraid numero uno will get injured again and then it'll prove our point. Seems like he's battling more with us fans than the likes of United and Chelsea.
The official site is ran a 'goal of the month' contest in which Rosicky won, for his goal before half time against Bolton. Kinda reminds you that not too long ago, Arshavin scored the 4th goal that sent us to the top of the league for like 3 days. Since then, it sure seems like confidence and desire have plummeted. Why, I really don't know. Did the team use up too much steam to make up ground on Chelsea just to lose everything we worked for?
We all kept talking about this run of 4 difficult games. I don't think we were sufficiently prepared. Then we got screwed. If you discount Vermaelen's goal, our attack has produced nothing since Villa, or Arshavin's goal against Bolton. Nothing. The boys are going to be entertaining Liverpool at the Emirates and from recent results, I'm sure Liverpool will have the belief and will aim to take a 2-goal lead to half time. This season, it's all about giving away 2-goal leads. Last season, it was all about drawing endlessly. Drawing doesn't hurt your pride as much, but it gives the manager his favourite reason of an unbeaten run that means nothing when you see that 5 draws is equivalent to 10 points dropped. 2 games lost however, is 6 points dropped, provided you win the remaining 3. As painful as it is, losing may be a better thing but the boys need to do a lot more to turn things around.
They need to be happy playing their football again. And defend better. And not close your eyes when Drogba shoots at you.
