Wenger convinced that Wilshere will return even BETTER than before!

Posted on September 22, 2012 by admin

Two years ago Jack Wilshere took the Premiership by storm and Arsenal fans are obviously worried that the England youngster won’t return from his 14 month absence as strong and as hungry as he was in his debut season, but Arsene Wenger is convinced that he will improve even further as time goes on.

“It is not possible, it is certain,” Wenger told Arsenal.com. “He will be a better player because if you have this kind of injury at the age of 20 you will take off again and move forward normally. If you have the injury after the age of 25 it is different. At his age it is no problem.

“For example Eduardo had limitation of his ankle. Jack has no limitation of his ankle it was just a fracture. Eduardo had a rupture of his ligaments and in construction they had to tie his ankle up so once you lose your flexibility of your ankle you are, of course, not the same player. That is not the case for Jack.

“It’s difficult to predict how long he needs to find his best form. You want people to be patient. After three months of competition for sure he would be back. It takes some while to find the little burst again.”

“He will be an international player and he will have to cope. He is a very strong guy, he had a stress fracture and that happens many times to young players. Between the ages of 18 to 20, around 60 per cent of them have stress fractures.”

The good thing about this season is that Arsenal now have a fantastic selection of midfielders available so it is not quite so urgent to get Jack back on the pitch as quick as possible, so as long as Wenger and the Arsenal fans!) are patient with our young superstar, we can look forward to many years of leading us to trophies in the future…….

Mancini – Arsenal are a better team without Van Persie

Posted on September 22, 2012 by Bob

Arsenal Are Title Contenders According To Mancini by AH

Arsenal face Manchester City this Sunday at the Etihad stadium.

According to Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini, Arsenal are title contenders despite the loss of last season’s key men – Robin Van Persie to City rivals Manchester United and Alex Song to Barcelona.

Mancini told SkySports: “Arsenal can compete for the title this season, they are better than last season, even if they lost some good players. Maybe, because of that, there is less pressure on them this season. They lost Van Persie and Song, but the players they have brought in have experience and quality.”

Arsenal’s summer signing Lukas Podolski has already become a fan favourite at the Emirates and with 3 goals in the last 5 games and the expeienced German international is helping the fans forget about the Dutchman.

Arsenal will be hoping to keep up their impressive run of form, with no losses in the last 9 games for the Gunners. Arsenal will face a Manchester City side that will be low on spirits, fitness and confidence after their 3-2 loss to Spanish Champions Real Madrid. The Manchester side were unlucky not to win in Spain and this will definitely be the toughest test for Arsenal so far this season.

Arsenal will have to play to their full strength to gain all 3 points but for the first time in a few years I am quietly confident of getting something at the Etihad. I think the final outcome will be a well fought draw for the new look Arsenal team.

Arteta – There is something missing but Arsenal WILL get better

Mikel Arteta was named as Arsenal’s Man Of The Match in yesterdays boring 0-0 draw against Stoke City, but he believes that there is a little something missing from the team, especially in attack.

But he suggests it is simply a matter of the new players settling in and getting to know each other, and the goals will come. ‘It is not good enough.” he said. “We wanted the three points, but it is a hard place to come and try to get the points,’

‘We had some really good chances but at the moment we are not taking them, the same thing happened last week.

‘We are making them and conceding few chances to the opposition but we lost two points again today.’

‘You know if you concede fouls and throw-ins they can put you in trouble because they get the ball in the box and are really organised at set pieces,’

‘We didn’t concede many chances and were well organised. We need three, four, five games together and then we will see how good they are. They have the quality.’

‘Offensively we still have some work to do because we missed a bit of accuracy in the final third in our movement and in our passing,’ Wenger said.

‘We are used to finding each other in the final third and there’s something missing but I still think we should have won the game 1-0.

‘[It is] an understanding because you have Cazorla and Podolski who one month ago, they didn’t know each other, so that will come.

‘We have some work to do on the training ground but I believe we have the potential but you can see as well that something is missing.

‘They’re not spontaneous enough in some situations. I’m very positive about my team. People will say: ‘You did not score in two games’ and I cannot deny that.

‘We played against two teams who as a unit defend very well, Sunderland and Stoke, and overall I believe we can be a good surprise in this Championship.’

There were also some positives defensively. Two clean sheets plus the fact that Arsenal had 70% possession in both games surely point to the fact that the team’s obvious superiority will be turned into goals at some point. Someone is going to get hammered – and I sincerely hope it will be Liverpool!

Why losing Song and Van Persie will only make Arsenal BETTER!

By ElaMyFriend

As an Arsenal fan who grew up a devoted New York Yankees and New York Giants football fan, a wise man once said that offense wins games but defense wins championships.

The Giants and Yankees have always had players with great individual achievements but they only began to win championships when they played as a team and focus on defense. later in life I became a devoted arsenal fan.

Yes, RVP has a spectacular season and Song did provide him with a number of wonderful eye catching assists to score memorable goals, but it took a unique set of circumstances for RVP to score as many goals as he did and for Song to create as many assists. Circumstances that will not exist this season going forward.

Before last season, thanks to Fabregas and Nasri leaving the club, with Wilshire and Diaby injured, Arteta new to the club and Ramsey playing his first full season after that horrendous leg break, Arsenal were decimated in midfield. Therefore Song, who isn’t a disciplined defender, saw an opportunity to abandon his role as DM and play more forward. Remember this fits Song’s personality, to garner attention. He dyes his hair to stand out on the pitch, he wears lots of bling to draw attention to himself.

Since playing defense is boring to him, he plays more forward which weakens our defense and makes it more porous. Therefore, all of the offensive benefits we gained from Song are clearly offset by his defensive liabilities as DM. If he leaves, he can easily be replaced by someone who understand his position as a DM and understands the concept of playing team defense. Emmanuel Frimpong has great potential to fill that role if he can stay healthy. Until then, I like Yann M’Villa to fill that role. I want a player who relishes playing defense and loves giving a good tackle like a scorer who loves scoring goals.

RVP scored all those goals simply because Arsenal had no other scoring options. Gervinho was a lousy finisher, Theo was maddeningly inconsistent and as mentioned earlier our midfield position was decimated with injuries. Fast forward to this summer, we have loads of more scoring options in Podolski, Giroud, Carzola and this summer a vastly improved Gervinho and Walcott. Furthermore, we have a healthy and revitalized Diaby and, soon to return, that boy sensation Wilshire. We have not even mentioned another boy sensation named Chamberlin and Ramsey is forgotten in all the talk this summer.

Now arsenal is loaded in the forward positions with young, lively players. Wait, I forgot to mention Arteta who now has one year under his belt with Arsenal and will only improve and assert himself more this season.

So, Arsenal as it stands now, once the DM position is clarified, have the potential and capacity to win any and all trophies this year and for some years to come. They just need to learn to play team defense and for players to play their positions well. Also we need players who appreciates playing for a big club like Arsenal and are thankful for being given the opportunity to compete for league and champion’s league trophies. I’m talking about players like Koscielny. His wonderful statement in the press yesterday proved why he is thankful for playing at Arsenal. Thank you Kosceilny

In Wenger we trust.
