If they were finding a time to hit the panic button, this is the right time. 2-0 at Emirates, against our bitter rivals, UNACCEPTABLE! I would love to be neutral but It's time for me to bombard my beloved squad.
For 6 seasons, we were craving for a trophy and the start that we are having now, It's just not the way we wanted. Drawing against Newcastle and losing against Liverpool, Wenger has to do something before the consequences become dire!
The game against Liverpool was unbearable as our discipline will be in question, in as many as 2 games, two players have been sent off. Emmanuel Frimpong and Gervinho might have been sent off due to their bad luck, but something needs to be done to teach these lads on how to control themselves.
The midfield were in need of ideas and Cash-ri, whom many claimed tried his best to stamp his authority looks shadow of himself. To me, his heart was not set on Arsenal and he is just waiting for his 180,ooo pounds payday at Manchester City. He tried to weave past defenders but when I looked at his body language and reaction, his time at Emirates has come to an end.
Without Fabregas, the midfield lacked creativity and didn't have the edge against Liverpool. Ramsey, who has been tasked to replace the diminutive Spaniard, looks better as a holding midfielder rather than a creative midfielder. Frimpong looks bullish and solid, but he still needs games to play against teams like Liverpool.
Andrei Arshavin, a veteran now, looks to have lost yards of pace and he is just not meant to play in the first eleven. A super sub appearance will be the right move for the nippy Russian.
Arsenal's bench looks un-enticing as injuries and suspensions have crippled the squad. Arsene Wenger who has been helping the economy a lot by not spending much will need to buy now, as the squad looks devoid of ideas, strength, inspiration and determination.
Putting in Niklas Bendtner, showed the lack of quality players we have in the bench and first eleven. Having 2 enfant terribles in the form Nasri and Bendtner will not help the team at all. Henri Lansbury who was promising last season with Norwich City needs to get more games to assert himself.
Robin Van Persie, Arsenal's newly appointed skipper needs a another attacker to compliment him. His movements and passes will be vital for the squad. We are need in need for a 'Fox in the box' as this kind of players can finish off any movement with their finishes.
We had Eduardo and Francis Jeffers but they careers were shortlived as Eduardo is thriving at Shakhtar Donetsk whereas Jeffers, I don't know where he is now!
As for the defence, Ignasi Miquel reminded of Fadhli Shas, as he the kind of defender who clears the ball wherever he wants! He looked weary and letahrgic when facing with Luis Suares, who was the game changer for Liverpool. The injuries to two of Arsenal left backs, prompted Wenger to put in Bakary Sagna as his emergency left back. The frenchmen looked uncomfortable in his position and Wenger needs to do something to rectify that position.
The only plus points for Arsenal is Thomas Vermaelen and Carl Jenkinson. Vermaelen, deserves his vice captain post as he stamped his authority in that game and he is back to his best. The injury that beset-ted him last season is all over as he is showing confidence and tenacity in his game. The Belgian will be important for Arsenal this season and we need him injury free.
Carl Jenkinson, may come from a smaller league but his presence in that game was impressive. He reminds me of Lee Dixon, as he is confident with the ball and he carry his duties well. At 19, the time is right for him to shine and he has the potential to topple Bakary Sagna from the right back position.
To stop this rot, Wenger needs to buy players, as in not one or two, but MANY! This will re-energize the already depleted squad. Players like Scott Parker, Per Mertesacker, Scott Dann, Eden Hazard and Mathieu Valbuena are players that have been earmarked to step foot at the Emirates.
Buying any of these players would ensure the team's progress and at the same time, abolish the growing worries of Arsenal fans. Joel Campbell, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Carl Jenkinson are meant for the future, now we need someone for the PRESENT!
Something has to be done because the way things are going now, Arsenal will have to be contend with a Europa League spot or worst, even face the prospect of losing on the Europa League spot!
I know as a fan, I should be optimistic, but the game against Liverpool was just unbearable! The last 45 minutes of the game was just a pain to watch and even my mum was like, What happened to your team, Daa?
Wenger, if my mum realises things, then you should do something!! I want trophies not worries, Monsieur!!!
Avinesh's pledge: Doesn't want to go Tri Silver office... I'm gonna be ridiculed by Abang Mann...Huhuhuhu
Avinesh's verdict: The trust is there Wenger, you can stop this rot..Though It's just the start of the season but no fan wouldn't want to see their team crumble at their fortress!! Do something!!!
