E-WOOD PARK POSTMORTUM !

Well 1-1 score line could have been different if a certain goalkeeper didn’t FUMBLE the ball.

But it was a game of halves and it pretty much worked out that way.. Im not consumed by playing the beautiful game , as long as its entertaining, the psychical style of English football

is just as good to watch to me , crunching tackles ,pulling on shirts, it just part of some differing clubs styles .. and maybe we do need a few more TOUGH GUYS in our squad ..

Pederson would fit in , i think arsenal would refine him , and he already has the skill set, that can been seen in past games. I still would prefer wenger to wave the magic wand and get a left winger ‘A-LA -SANGA’ style signing … Im not really Pro active on any players name, or race , creed ,all isnt important , what is important is the positions are filled .. STRIKER OF QUALITY – WINGER- PREFERABLY VERSATILE one with style , and foot speed and good crossing ability(both wings or across the middle would be ideal) And after gallas was injured A DEFENDER IS NEEDED WITH EXPERIENCE (and toure will be gone!! ) yes you forgot didnt you .. well it gives no time for toure /gallas to bond .. Well until the title race might be over … Its a shame because that has been the difference lately. Since sanga joined it has put the back line up ‘a class’ ! id like to think senderos is ready, but just sometimes he makes a lehmann type error and then his class is exposed ! Hes looked REAL solid in some games – he needs to prove consistancy to me .. But im sure he will get his chance soon enough as our defenders start getting LESS SOLID after the starting 4,lets hope its 2 weeks out only for gallas , im sure other players are carrying bumps from blackburn! all in all , like i said we end up second best .We dont play for survival every season like boltons and blackburns , we actually miss our players more ,as it affects our points indirectly .. but enough on their

thugery, and thugery it was .. it made for an interesting game . but jens did let us down and fabrigas today has stood behind the goalie saying

‘He does not have to apologise,’ says cesc. ‘This is a team. We are together now and we are strong’

Positive stuff from the midfeilder.. But really its a ass kissing exercise as , wenger has benched jens before and , i think if he is to play another game for us , he needs that soul searching time on the sidelines to realize this will be the last BIG season of his life ,and not wanting to go out like this ,we MIGHT see his form return .. it happened world cup time and it just might happen again .. But in the mean time give fabinski a go…

or almunia , but really i think he’s best kept as our second, unfairly so , i think he never had the REAL class to be above jens or buffon ,castellas chec etc… But maybe arsene thinks this fabinski has it … so lets see it .. but what ever the goal keeper solution is , it comes at a bad time with gallas out .. and hoyte or senderos as backup.

You also have wenger quoting

“I am very happy with the team and their resilience. I must say we battled very hard. We had good chances to score the second goal many times. Unfortunately we conceded a bad goal ourselves. Overall I felt we dealt with set-pieces and the main threat from Blackburn was long balls. We dealt well with it. The players are of course frustrated because we should have come home with three points but let’s just keep that attitude in the future.”

and a bit on the jens goal

“Of course Jens is really unhappy with it. He is really down in the dressing room. I don’t need to tell him he made a mistake, he is an intelligent boy and he knows that. We do not want to blame him today. We just want to take the positives from our behaviour.”

sometimes when you say the word blame in a sentance that you dont want to’ blame’ anyone for , then why say BLAME in the first place?!
