Yes, Wenger made mistakes but you still had plenty of incredibly presentable chances that were either missed or were unluckily deflected. Nevermind a good day, Giroud on an average day would have at least had you going there level.
Fair enough they dont concede many (and i believe they had a few out) but i still see no reason why you cant get through. Scoring 3 is a big ask but, regardless of their previous form, they looked shaky. I know it wont be popular but i'd start Welbeck up front with Wallcott and Sanchez either side, get Wilshere back in the side and get them on the back foot. You need to score 3, theyre bound to sit back especially if you play a pacey side (hence Welbeck ahead of Giroud) and you can even afford to overcommit a little bit because one goal for them wouldnt knock you out. We'll see in a few weeks but i genuinely think this tie is still alive going off what i saw in that first leg
Thats the whole point though........le cock has amassed bang average players in fundamently key positions - in big games you need a clinical striker to make the most of the chances that come along, but sadly we have giroud and wellshit
In big games you need a defence that doesnt allow the clinical strikers on the other teams many chances cos the strikers on these teams are gonna take them - le cock has stockpiled defenders who are great at making surging runs forward (fcuk all end product mind
) but has no positional and tactical awareness of how to shut down an opposition forward line
Then of course we are stuck with the most shittiest collection of short-arsed DM's in the history of football
I coach teams and have allows told my midfields that they are the engine of the team and that they need to dominate if our team is to succeed - we are too light, lacking intelligence and dont seem to be responsible enough to sacrifice themselves for the team.
Of course all of this comes back to le cock who has built that team and "coached" them and set them up "tactically"......whats the point in even discussing the useless c.unt ?
