This is just too em-brassing, loosing a game which was supposed to be a walk in the par. Fans are used to this, coming to a game where in paper should be a win with a whooping. This is occurring to many times, loosing against non-threatening club and being whipped apart from good teams. What ever happened to this is finally a better team than last year. The team is good enough to go against the like of the Red Devil, Blues, Noisy Neighbours and Toons. So why is a World Class Team like Arsenal loosing all the time, one may ask. The answers can be answered by all the Arsenal Fans.
1. The tactics used are so easily recognised by the opposing team. Arsene uses the same tactics in every game. Even if he plays 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 or 5-3-2or what are style, the tactics are still the same.
2. There are no LEADERSHIP in Arsenal, someone who can actually lead the team like Viera, Seaman, Adams and other legends. A few days ago it was mentioned that there are many Captains of various nations in the team but still no one can actually lead the team in attack, defence, moral support and motivation.
3. There is no creativity in the game. It is all ways pass pass pass and pass even in the D or run to the corner and cross the ball and hope somehow there'll be a goal. Even if there's a wave of creativity in attack, it slowly dies off and the useless tactics are back.
4. There is no sense of emergency to score more goals. How many times have the fans all witness, every time there's a comfortable lead, the team looses their sense of trying to score more goals. The games where Arsenal are leading even after 4 goals ahead or even 3 -1 ahead are proofs of this statement.
5. There is no trying for goal from distance. Each time players crowd the D the opposing team covers the goal net and there goes the chance of scoring any goals. There is nothing wrong with trying from far. Once a while, the playes do try from distance but after a while the teams goes back to pass pass pass pass and then shoot.
6. There is no game play of galloping the pitch with the ball in one's possession. Even when there's a fast break, the players don't run towards goal instead they wait for the team mates to come along. The Red Devils, Blues, Noisy Neighbours and other World Class Team and not forgetting other teams like Tooons, Rovers and other top 10 teams in the EPL run with the ball. The player must be able to be confident to go for goal and whack the ball from a distance
7. There are a lot of defensive problem. With the new defensive players, there should be some stable-ability at the back. But no such thing happen, every single teams that plays against Arsenal know that after a corner the players are just to slow to come back to defend the goal. There is no communication between the players and the keeper. Balls that the players should cover are not covered and this leads to the keeper going out from the goal post. This means the net is not covered. Then there's case where the defenders let slip of the opponent and therefore he is free to run with the ball towards goal.
8. There is no way that a goal can come from the corner kick. Every time there's a corner, some one will flick the ball either to high or too far. Arsenal Players are not tall and therefore can't come near to head the ball towards goal. There are a few tall players to head the ball but one out of 99 percent there' a goal from a header. Why not cross the ball to the player a few yards or meters from the spot and he try for goal.
9.The clearance is shameful. Each time the opponent attacks and the defender or the keeper blocks the ball, he never clears it far. When there is an Arial Attack, the players head the ball to the opponents. It is em-brassing and every time there's a chance of counter attack, the chance of attacking goes astray. All 11 players are defending the goal but not in a good manner.
10. The game is all ways closed play. There is no sense of opening up the chances, using different strategies to go for goal. THERE'S NO CREATIVITY. Every time is pass the ball to the wing and there the winger will trouble himself with opponents around and gunning him down. It's the same, the central midfield passes the ball to the winger, the winger will have trouble to give a cross near the corner flag.
Many fans are frustrated with what is happening in Arsenal. Seasonal ticketters are not going for games and they give their tickets away to their mates. The fans are pissed with the team not winning a game, winning in a big margin. IT IS EM-BRASSING
