As long as the bad
luck with injuries does not come back with a bang, there is a good argument that Wenger already has the tools to challenge for the Premier League.
Not exact matches
Giroud misses more than he hits, Walcott has NEVER delivered his expected talent, Welbeck will NEVER be the striker to score 20 goals a season Coqellin will NOT go a whole season
injury or suspension free, Sanchez and Ozil WILL have down period during the season, all teams have these problems to a greater or lesser degree but most of the top teams will address these problems and players either inprove or are sold and replaced
with better or at least more consistant players, NOT Wenger he keeps
doing the same thing over and over
with the same players and he expects a different result but gets the same outvome time and time again, yet its ALWAYS someone else's fault be it the Ref or the linesman or the opposition or bad
luck or whatever and whoever and its NEVER the fact that HE has
done nothing to change the situation and LOOKS LIKELY to not change it next time around.
It's got absolutely nothing to
do with bad
luck, because the
injuries happen
with such consistency.
Inadequate Medical Expertise I don't want to believe that the staggering 900 plus
injuries which has been recorded since 2002 has to
do with a curse or just bad
luck.
However, I
do get the feeling that after all the bad
luck that the Gunners have had this season
with refs,
injuries, hitting the woodwork, dodgy goals against us and all that, the tide might just be turning and things might just be starting to go our way.
we had great players, good ones and not so good but definitely enough material for a real shot to the title, instead every year the same
injuries, referees, bad
luck anything but the truth, AW is
done he just doesn't have it anymore and must retire, still honorably and have a new coach
with fresh ideas revamp this team... other than that
Wenger
does it every year and then cries for
injury issue lack of
Luck, Reffs, and any excuse he can come of
with.
Like Abou Diaby has spent so many years battling
injury at the Emirates, only a club like Arsenal (despite losing some high profile games because players like Diaby were not available) could still stick
with such players and
do more than necessary to see if they could shake off the ill -
luck and achieve their potentials.
I believe tgere are 3 titke contenders this year Leicester, city and arsenal About Leicester they are
doing great but there football depends on counter attacking and few quick passes to reach the ball to mahrez or vardy i don't think they can impress anybody if they faced teams that park the bus like what the teams
do with arsenal and also any
injury for mahrez or vardy will ruin there season so i don't consider them a real challenge and in an open game we got the best out of them and beat them
with 5 goals to 2 so calm down gooners About city they had very impressing start for the season then they were vety baf winning most games by pure
luck or last minute goals and they could be beaten easily Arsenal are the best team form we controled most of the games and the losses and draws were by bad referee decisions or bad
luck and the 4 points margain
with city could have been easily 10 or 12
As mentioned, I would get really upset listening to pundits and commentators writing us off beforehand or during season, where we seemed to be going along nicely, and when it didn't happen for us, I would naturally put it down to bad
luck with injuries, schedule or maybe bad refereeing.
Irsay is crazy, Grigson doesn't get along
with his head coach and put him in lame - duck status this year, and
Luck is really struggling out there,
injuries or not.
Football its a sport
with sports you have
injuries add to that its contact sport so the probability of getting injured is sure Ok I can understand
luck and ball wobble has got something to
do with it but as a soccer player you know you could get injured just like that two or more players are going for the ball you could be sandwiched you could instantly hit the same ball one gets injured both get injured what ever but
injury is part of the game some go away pretty easy some
do nt and can get aggravated because not all can wait in a in a heavy box for too long and if you
do well you become weak so it will take some effort to get back to full strength praying that you
do nt get a strain or muscular problem players mangers coaches and physician know that i know that because not long ago i had bad thigh
injury all was fine
with it then i got a knock just below my knee 3 weeks ago and there is still slight pain in it but will try and play on Thursday thats part of the game The manager has to account for it in his head i got 11 players 6 might go down my contingency if it were to happen is and you still got a fully balanced team well thats the essence and Arsenal all fall because that contingency plan always falls short
I can understand that to some extent as we
do seem to be getting hit
with the same old bad
luck on the
injury front, but I think we have a lot of reasons to look forward to our next match, especially as our opponents Man United are in a much worse situation than we are.
Also, I don't see how the
injuries can be deemed bad
luck, when they occur
with such consistency.
Its not Wenger's fault that he was offered 8 million a year contract, as well as he have
done his best to manage this team who never had the
luck with injuries nor
with the referees.
Although we
do not like to gloat on other teams
injuries we have to admit that it is usually our players that come back from international duty
with long term
injuries, so maybe
luck is actually on our side for a change....
Man United has had bad
luck with injuries this season, but they didn't have last year or if
did, surely didn't have it 2 years ago.
With the
injury never really slowing
Luck or keeping him out of action, the quick surgery to repair the problem shortly after the end of the 2016 season didn't raise many red flags.
You could say that we would have taken advantage of this had it not been for the awful
luck with injuries but the fact is that we didn't.
give me the f * league, next season and stop
with that
injury stuff and
luck factor...
do what it takes to get EPL, and the same for mr wenger, the fans deserve it... this club is one of the richest of the world and the fans pay the most expensive tickets... forget spuds, i want to look foward, first man ud, citeh and win to the f * morro... than, real, barca, munich, etc..
Completely agreed
with you up until the Bender comment, i
do nt think hes inferior well not defensively especially and the lad has had some tough
luck beginning at WC, am not altogether up on his entire
injury history but id find it hard to believe or imagine a German National over in Germany to have Diaby like setbacks.
By New Years, All our defenders will be fit and Wenger will say we don't need any defenders then 1st February our defenders will start getting injured again and Wenger will complain about bad
luck with injuries to our defenders.
I'd like to think that one of them should be good enough to deputize in the few games Cech
does nt play, but we all know our
luck with injuries when there isnt decent backup.
Let's just hope that he gets a chance to
do that for Arsenal this season and that his awful
luck with injuries is finally over.
If you
do not believe me about our
luck, just look back at all the
injury problems that Arsene Wenger has had to cope
with for YEARS.
He might have his
injury issues but so
does every other player at arsenal and we're due some
luck with injuries as well.
injuries number dropping has little to
do with our current form... Wilshere injured = no need to make a room for him even
with him having a poor performance (relatively)... Ozil injured = a better AMF stepped in (Cazorla)... Arteta and Flamini injured = the emergence of coq (that's just
luck and has nothing to
do with Wenger being genius) Actually it is the other way around, our
injuries this time were a bless (except for Ox and Giroud)
This team I believe is able to win the league
with a bit of
luck (no
injuries), but if the
injuries do come again and we
do nt have the proper squad to handle it, because we were gambling on
luck, we look like fools.
anyhw, hiop lady
luck is on our side, we
do nt need any other
injuries with the number of games ahead.
I have had ZERO
luck with Ice over the years, and Dick Hartzell has been warning that icing
injuries doesn't work since at least 2002, so I go a different routine and
do all I can to increase blood flow to the forearms.
