I disagree. Its like Almunia has no reflexes. I’m not sayin he has to always stop it, but when a goal is scored most the time he is caught flat footed. If he would at least dive the way the ball is going, maybe he could stop it. I’ve seen a few goals this season i would have liked to seen him not be caught flat footed.

@ ramugunner I don’t think it was solely for the money unlike that cashley c*%t as he was pissed that cesc got given a extension till 2012 when he still had 2 years on his contract and flamster was coming into his last season and we didn’t seem to be hurried into keeping him. silva was a loyal servant to the club and arsne thought to let him leave for playing time and 1 big payday at a lower league. hleb was just a waste of space and went missing in the big games and nasri has proved already he will be more than capable of filling in his shoes.
But only time will tell come the jan window and if chelski are too far ahead he will just say wait until the summer.

on the bench you have RVP, Bedner, Eboue.

with these 3 players you can change the formation to suit the style of the game.

Every team needs to be able to change things during a game…they need to be able to play 3 or 4 different styles and formations.

For example: i play in a football team…we have stuck to only one style and formation alll year…never changed it…come grandfinal when the pressure is on…we change our formation…good move but no one in the team has ever played in that formation for atleast 2 years.

Afer watching a full arsenal game on the weekend…i found alot of weaknesses.

DM, CB positions are very weak.

I think Ade is alright and RVP is a very good player who is off his game at the moment. This arsenal team will compete for the title but i cant see them winning anything. Thats another season of no trophies for a big club.

My arsenal team:

Toure Silvest Gallas Clichy
Song
Theo Fab Denilson Vela
Ade

That crowds the midfield allowing fab to do less defensive work. You get to use the speed and skill of vela and theo….Use ade big body to hold the ball up.

what do u think ?

@ Ramugunner – They’re Cesc’s words. I didn’t say anything about trusting Arsenal news, its just that the comments appear there. I’m trusting Cesc, not Arsenal in this case.

You guys still believe Arsenal website for contract news. I don’t trust at all after Flamini’s case. Flamini was brightest DM in the world and best partner for classy Cesc, still they didn’t think he was worth 10k more than what they offered. Arsene said Flamini was staying for sure but it didn’t happen. I know Cesc is not after money but he is after glories. With plenty of talents and passion for the game he loves winning. For years Arsenal board and Wenger have lost their commitment towards winning titles and its getting worse. Its not good enough for Arsenal and for Cesc cause he is a winner. I will not be surprised to see him make a move to more ambitious team next season. This will be a tough call for him though untill Arsene stays. But we never know. If he move out I will not blame him. I will blame Arsenal Board and Wenger. I think he has already proved he loves Arsenal and wants to stay here but at the same time he cannot play for a team who has no aim. Its been so serious now at Arsenal. Wenger has already failed his experiment to build a youthful title winning team. After losing players like Lehmann, Gilberto, Flamini and Hleb we lost experience and winning mentality. I agree with Spanishfry that Almunia is being alright but he cannot organize the defense line like Seamean and Lehmann used to do. Of course, CB and CDM are bigger worries. Whatever you guys talk about Adebayor, he is not even a decent striker, time will prove. One season with 30 goals including tap-ins and penalties cannot make a average striker a world beater. With Almunia in goal, Toure-Gallas backline and Adebayor upfront we will not win anything, ever.

Arsene was on my side untill the last transfer season. But after he sticked in CDM with Denilson(Decent CAM), Song(Good but too slow for premier league), and Diaby(Crock & shit), I lost my respect towards this genius manager. Wenger’s knowledge, vision, youth policy and style are always appreciated but his transfer policies and team selections are shocking. Coming janaury is the last chance for him to amend his mistakes.

Oh wait, Wenger never realises his mistakes and accept team weaknesses. Still in Wenger We Trust… We Arsenal fans!!!

Thank the lord for that. I know everyone thought cesc was off his game on the weekend. But I love watching him play. Even on the weekend, his passing is just beautiful to watch. Poor bugger does have alot of responsbility though…he needs some quality support

@ Demetrio – I think Almunia is the least of our worries. We have far more important concerns than our goalkeeper. In all reality he is doing a fine job and I’ve said this in the past but since the start of last season, I can’t think of one time when a goal has come directly as a result of his mistakes.

it’s all crap as cesc hasn’t been given a new contract as we have him for another 4 years i think fucking journos get paid a bit for producing shite as usual. did appiah sign for anyone or is he still a free agent?
