I’m tired of Gunners inexperience

Arsenal_logoI think it was just “inexperience” again in the 1-1 Champions league draw with AZ Alkmaar and that sucks to be honest because I’m quite tired of that line. It’s the same line being spit out for the past 4 seasons I mean… I didn’t mind too much because 1 point away from home in the Champions league isn’t SO bad even though it was conceded in injury time.

BUT this inexperience can easily happen any time and I’m concerned that we’re still getting beat too many times in set pieces. Someone should have picked up that runner. Was it Song or Diaby?

I still think we need a taller Centre back for these types of matches. Someone we can throw on when teams starting throwing the ball and in games against the rugged teams like Blackburn, Bolton etc… the long ball teams.

I know Vermaelen has a good leap and many more but we still need a good back up. Unfortunately I think Silvestre isn’t good enough and I worry because of the possibility one of the starting 2 getting injured and I don’t want song being pushed back there because he’s pretty much cemented his place in midfield for me.

I still think if anything will be our undoing it will be defensive errors when it comes to crunch time.

Clichy really does not have much going for him right now. Did you see his throw that he literally threw the ball to Gallas and put him under a lot of pressure? Idiotic! I like Gibbs and I feel Traore should get a run.

Although we have been improving recently, we could do better. I think once we get Walcott, Dudu, and Bendtner back and once Rosicky and Nasri are up to speed to rotate – we’ll be OK up front. I am not from the school of thought that “we’ll score more than you”. That’s Real Madrid thinking.

I worry about the defense though all in the name of “inexperience”!

Well, you are not the only one who is tired of the near good performances of the Gunners. Results are what matter.
I think Arsene should try a new approach or quit.
