Hmmmmmmmmmmmmn? What if you never gave the young ones a chance? What if Le Coq and Bellerin were never given a chance? Being a manager is not only about buying stars simply to win a trophy, it is also about letting the young ones have an opportunity to attempt greatness. The latter I see as a more worthy achievement.
Knowing that Chelsea's under 18s and 21s won their respective FA youth cups, I wonder why none of them have the hope of ever lining up for Mourinho? That's is why I respect Wenger and judge him to be the best Manager in Europe. His footprints are written all over the world.

pamcode:
Quite, but there were a undoing which was financial had it been there was money to sign some players and pay their wages, Arsenal might have been better than they are now.

Spy360:

Yes you are right.

Arsene wanted to leave for Madrid when Kroenke and Gazidis came on board and informed him of their plans to build a new stadium. He wanted to leave because he was told he would not be getting any money for new players and in fact he was to provide at least £50m from selling old players.

But he chose to stay because he loves the club and wanted to be part of its rebuilding process.

That led to him gathering young talents a sort of brood and sell. Note that he had absolutely no obligations to finish in top four to play in the UCL but he was able to achieve that yearly because he knew that the UCL will provide more funds and thereby reduce the rate at which key players are sold. He earned my respect for achieving this consistently. That's where enemies came up with that fourth place trophy jibe. Nevertheless when you look at Liverpool and their struggles, you can only be grateful.

Now that the rebuilding is completed and top signings are trickling in gradually, giving us a very strong financial base- I tell you right now we are richer than both Chelsea and Man City and with time we would beat Man Utd- we are on course to becoming the best club in England.

My thoughts on tomorrow's game
I think the team needs especially the two center backs, need to be wary of hazard's tricks inside the box in order to avoid giving out cheap penalty tomorrow. Monreal should also make the left back slot ahead of Gibbs who to me hasn't Beebe at his best lately.
On the attacking side, I think Alexis should be given much of the balls upfront to draw 2 to 3 players to himself while quickly giving the pass to other midfielders who can then locate giroud. Arsene wenger should also give Alexis the mandate of piling pressure on cahill whom to me is a suspect in that Chelsea defence.

With this properly done, the only safe route for Chelsea is a draw at best.

Mourinho confessed that it was Fergie who taught him how to beat Wenger.

Obviously Wenger loves to keep the ball and push forward, so by allowing him do that and then setting an ambush against him by using brute strength you expose him at the back and slay him on the counter. That is because Wenger does not employ physical techniques but rather tactical. That is why the likes of Drogba and Rooney shine against Arsenal. Last season's Torres goal at the Emirates was just annoying the way he bundled off Koschieny.

Nevertheless, Arsene has adopted a more cautious approach that worked against both Manchester clubs, and Liverpool thanks to the rise of Coquelin, which has seen us rise to second place and an FA cup final berth. Before Dec, who would have thought those were possible?

[/b]For me the key to beating Mourinho is to sit back and wait for him.[b] And that's exactly what he doesn't want. Mou sets up his team to prowl on the counter. He is not an attack minded coach- which was obvious last season after he lost to defensive minded teams like Sunderland and Stoke City.
See how he dislodged Man Utd on Sat, despite a 75% ball possesion. See how he dealt with Man City. I remember the game against Liverpool last season when Liverpool lost despite only needing a draw at home. If you come out against Mou, you are only heading for a suicide mission. Play to draw and you win, play to win and you lose. Hope Arsene gets it right this time.

Great performance from the lads. They did just what they needed against a very good side. They showed they too can make a case for a title push next season.

We are close.

Arsenal just needs one more star player and Mourinho's Chelsea will come crawling licking our feet.

-Bellerin silenced Hazard and kept Azpilicueta busy.
- Mertesacker made Chelsea look one man short.
- Coquelin made Fabregas remove his mask.
- Ospina gave Oscar the slap of his life and he snapped out.

[/b]Do you think other teams will also stand still while wenger beefs up[b]
Last season,, arsenal led for 16 weeks or so.. yet this season we are where we are.. again

edi287:

I swear I ask myself this same question when people get carried away by our typical end of the season finish. For the fact that some people are still saying "we need a backup for giroud" and "coq is the best dm in the league" makes me feel that some fans have gotten used to 4th place trophy and one FA cup every season.

pickabeau1:


If you go back 365 days you will see the same statements being made ... next season, we need one more, we need DM

If you go back 730 days you will see the same statements being made... next season, we need one more, we need DM

These same statements go way back

Its like some people are stuck in time or repeat mode
