basing on today's
game performance and result it only showed me one thing; Wenger will never
learn (he is old enough to adjust to the new changes
of the
game), wether we buy new players, he will play them out
of position still, he will still wait untill the 75 minute to make a sub!
Theo should be a great CF but he is too quiet in
games to make any real difference on a consistent
basis, I have noticed how he has picked up when Henry was training with us or even Beckham, he thrived when he had top quality to watch and
learn from, he hasn't had enough competition
of that standard to push on his development.
Which is the lack
of game time that a few Arsenal players are gettning (speaking mostly in reference to Chambers, Gibbs and Campbell) im paraphrasing here but the
basis of his argument is how do you expect a player to be able come
of the bench and be capable
of doing a job for team and perform competently with a very limited or no
game experience... Considering we have Chelsea at the weekend it seems t would be a great time to start giving those players
game experience and resting a few
of the starting 11 perhaps with the exception
of Walcott i'd like for him to get more
game time at Cf... his finishing is diabolical... and
learning how to pay as a striker takes time.
Minus some flashes from both Sead and Iwobi, and a workingman - like effort from Elneny, we
learned very little... so here are a few
of my observations from today's
game, which highlight my concerns about this team moving forward... the fact that Mertz started this
game, regardless
of our injuries or those being «rested», should be a serious red flag for any true Arsenal fan... if Wenger is preparing to use Mertz with any regularity then the whole thing is a moot point because we are in deep shit... the fact is no quality team would ever have this tin soldier anywhere near there starting eleven except to groom their youthful players, who in turn should be playing in this type
of game instead... I can only hope he was simply throwing him a bone for the FA appearance and for agreeing to stay on following the season, but I think the most likely answer is that Wenger's fragile relationship with the fan -
base can't be ignored so he felt his experience was a safer bet... unfortunately not a positive choice for a team trying to move forward (same old, same old)
