OVP the reason we played such free flowing football in the second half, you've probably shut out the poor performance in the first half, was because 'arry made the tactical error of removing the extra man in the middle of the park, foolishly (on his part) giving us space to play in.
Big players coming to Arsenal because of Wenger, not any more. For a case in point look at Matta, long term target for Arsenal ends up at Chelski, we get Artetta. Looks like AW has failed there when you compare their individual performances and contribution to the team!
Truth to tell quality players are going in the opposite direction, that is out of the club .. Fabregas, Nasri, Clichy and most recently Arshavin ... and in case you haven't noticed those we kept such as Billy Bendtner (who wants out anyway), Vela, Shamak, Dennilson, Park to name but a few, are best described as sub prime players and are either out on loan (can't work with Wenger or paid too much to sell on by Wenger) or are permanent bench warmers who are never going to play, AWs choice again.
And if Wenger is so good at attracting people to Arsenal, why did Paddy Vierra choose to coach at Mercenary City rather than rejoin his golden age boss AW as part of his coaching set up?
The problem is with the AKB view on life is that they are measuring AWs performance through the prism of his record from 7 plus years ago, and not on what is happening now.
