Gash Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Before the season started i was adamant Wolves wouldn't go down, i thought how they played last year they could only go from strength to strength by bringing stronger players in, but it seems that everything they did last season they aren't doing this.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 with the WBA-Stoke outcome today, I'd love to think we could go to WBA and get a win too with Tiote and Barton back. Bet we don't though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes tits up now they're fucked. The wage bill would be enough to make them go belly up. Would love to see them go down again, but only if we don't go down aswell. Long way to go in the Championship though, and anything can happen in that league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Watching the Arsenal match, it is again another sign that this Arsenal team has not been coached the ugly details (defending set-pieces, pressing, marking). I first thought this last year when they were utterly clueless against Barcelona, evidenced by how indisciplined they were in pressing Barca. I mean, Sagna presses up but the CBs don't, leaving so much room, then the midfield pushes up but the defence stays back, again leaving room. This happened for 180 minutes against Barca and they got fucked. Then yesterday you see how not one of their players jumped to defend VdV's free-kick. If they jumped, the ball would have hit Fab/Chamakh and nothing would have come of it. It's just another example that shows how indisciplined they are defensively. The fact that they're so good on the ball masks most of their defensive frailties because the other team can barely create the chances needed to score, but when they're up against a team that can keep the ball as well they get fucked because they're unorganised at the back. That's the reason they've been fucked by Man Utd's counter-attacks in most of their matches in the past few seasons. Wenger deserves credit for moulding his team into one that plays good football, but he also deserves criticism for the lack of organisation at the back. The fact that they're so fluid and free offensively is the reason they're so good, but that same philosophy is also what costs them so dear at the back. The fact that Wenger uses his player's instincts and reactions as a key component in attacking is what makes them great, but a player's instincts and reactions can only go so far in defending. Maybe when Wenger can get his team to focus as much on defending as they already do on attacking, they'll be true title contenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
