Well it's curtains for the Goons on the 2009/2010 season. Out of the FA Cup, out of the league title race, still in the Champion's League (with a favorable draw :thefinger) but very unlikely to get further than Porto.
We were completely outclassed by the mancs today. Cesc had his worst game ever as a Goon. Denilson was awful (nice marking today Denilson
:mad) Arshavin couldn't do much. Nasri was invisible. Song was bad in the first half, decent in the second. Even Clichy made mistakes today that we don't normally see. Alumunia never seems to play big in the big games, only big in the small games.
I think Arsene Wenger and the Goon Management deserve to take ~heat~ over the team meltdown that took place today and will take place next weekend when we go into chelski and get worked over by them again. We have no A level strikers on the team. Everyone who's a striker is a second option striker, at best. There were plenty of names out there and transfers could've been made. But they all sat on their asses again and we're going to get worked. We probably can hold off Aston Villa, spurs are in a tailspin now too, which is nice, and Liverpool is in dire straits as well. We might be #3 in the league but we are a mile away from the Top 2.
In the summer--I would sell
1. Denilson (disappointingly useless player)
2. Nasri (too slow and too few goals)
3. Sagna (too many crosses to nowhere); Eboue is the better player on that side
4. Eduardo (he and Vela are the same player, Vela is faster and more promising)
5. Walcott (always injured and deserves a fresh start somewhere)
6. Almunia (might as well go with Fabianski and Manone--they really aren't any worse than Almunia)
Ramsay, Wilshere, Merida give us what we already get with Nasri and Denilson. Wilshere has been loaned out, which is good, and he might develop quicker and be a legit bench player next season. :dunno:
Abu Diaby needs to become an actual aerial threat. He can't get away with not being a target on set pieces. He's too tall not to be a threat on set pieces.
:weeping:
