he has been like this all season mate

that why he did not start last 2 games, lost his place to Rosicky

but Miraculously got it back against Milan

The better players were handicapped due to Milan converting their pitch to a corn field

Seriously, justifying the ploughed field? We cheated, but it's your fault because you couldn't adapt to said cheating tactics?

This is where my blood boils. Why should Arsenal have to adapt to a blatant piece of unsportsman-like conduct. Why were they allowed to plough the field in the first place?

Lex these are professional footballers who train virtually every day

the idea that they cant adapt to a poor pitch is laughable

i play on worse pitches every weekend and dont have trouble moving the ball about and controlling it properly

and thats me playing once a week and not training the pitch is no excuse

Milan play on this SAME pitch passed the ball about and plundered 4 goals

Thanks Julias

Wenger apologist are master excuse givers just like Wenger

I feel sorry for Wenger, he's a good manager but things never go his way.

I have to say, I dont think the pitch was much of a factor.

If the ball went out wide and it got stuck up, then I would buy that theory. But Arsenal didnt even get the time to get the ball out wide.

When the got the ball, they were quite direct with the passing and tried to get it to RVP quite early. Thiago Silva was excellent at reading and getting in front of him for that.

Maybe I could be convinced otherwise, but I didnt really see the pitch being a factor.

You don't go to Silverstone with a Formula 1 car, expecting tarmac, then find it's been converted into a dirt track and have race officials tell you to "adapt"

he never tried to make them go his way, trust me i am a Gooner

Wengere never changes, he is damn stubborn and Tactically Inept in all quarters

ibra and robinho did their damage coming from wide... on the very same pitch lmao

if i were a newcatsle or Wolves fan..I would know when my Manager is TACTICALLY INEPT GET THE WORDS MATE..

there is a difference in being good and being tactically inept

The henry substitution was cringeworthy.

Another piece of tactical buffoonery was putting chamberlain on the right where he clearly struggled to make an impact. Much much muuuuch more effective on the left where he can cut inside and influence the game. What was he supposed to do on the right? run to the corner flag and cross it no one?

should have started :

chamberlain - van persie - walcott

i really think the performance could have been so much better with that attack, thats the only line up capable of giving van persie decent service

Players always abandon him when he need them the most, just to mention a few, last year alone, Fabregas, Clinchy and Nasri all left, I mean they weren't even that good until he made them who they are now and they just left like that...

Maybe Wenger should look forward to grooming English, Scottish, Ireland and Welsh players.

I feel Milans midfield was there to be got at. Arsenal however focused soley on wing-play and pace and whenever the ball came into the midfield they were outnumbered. Milans midfiled was never pressured and allowed easy distribution of the ball to Ibra to conduct the whole game.

It so annoying how we fans kno the right Balance for this team but Wenger keeps putting the wrong sides

Ok then good sir, since you obviously seem to know better than Wenger, who holds a master's degree and has guided Arsenal to a plethora of trophies in the past (of which you probably aren't aware of) how, exactly, would you have handled tonight?

And please don't be shy, i want tactics, players and subs and overall gameplay. Take your time.

I have been a Gooner since I was 5 years old mate

and it was right after 2007/08 that you could clearly notice Wenger losing it..

this season is by far his worst in terms of tactics

you can't be tactically brilliant for 20 years and then suddenly lose it for 3 years...

well yeah, we are currently in 4th place..........

people already knew that milan's pitch would be like this lol

there were videos all round the net about the state of milan's pitch and lets face it these are the things which give a team advantage at home, you have to capitalise on the advantages they give you and if youre the away team minimise those perks gained by the home team.
