Paul Merson believes Arsene Wenger's reign at Arsenal is coming to an end claiming he does not expect the Frenchman to be in charge next season. Arsenal are 10 points adrift of the top four after the second successive 3-0 defeat over Manchester City this week, with the runaway Premier League leaders now 30 points clear of the north London club. Many supporters opted to stay away from the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night in protest against the recent abject results, with the defeat by Pep Guardiola's side the club's joint-heaviest loss at home in the Premier League era. Brighton vs Arsenal March 4, 2018, 12:30pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass The 68-year-old's current contract expires in May 2019, but when asked if he expects him to be in charge next season, Merson told Sky Sports Daily: "No. As I sit here I say no. "If they go to AC Milan and win next Thursday, and they go on and win the Europa League, for me that's a great season for where Arsenal are at the moment. If they win a European trophy it would be a phenomenal feat. "But I can't see it. I don't even fancy them to go and beat Brighton on Sunday. I feel [Wenger] would've gone if he didn't have AC Milan on Thursday night. I feel he would've then gone if he got beat by Brighton. "You've just got to look at his press conference the other day. It seemed to me that he was asking for the board to be loyal to him now, because he was saying, 'I've been loyal to this club, I could've gone anywhere in the world'. Arsenal head to face Brighton this weekend on the back of three straight defeats "He was trying to tell the board that they should stay loyal to him now. But I feel there's a lot of pressure on him at the moment." Arsenal could be without Jack Wilshere for the trip to the AMEX Stadium after the England midfielder missed the defeat on Thursday night with an ankle injury, while Nacho Monreal (back) and Alexandre Lacazette (knee) are also absent. Wenger is likely to make changes ahead of the first leg of the Europa League last-16 clash with Milan but following a seventh defeat in 13 games during 2018, Merson believes the end is nigh for the beleaguered manager. "The players he's brought in just haven't been good enough. Arsene's in charge, he runs it from top to bottom. That's the problem. I felt sorry for him last Sunday, as he put a team out there who acted as if they wouldn't be getting the blame. "They know that Wenger is the man who will take the blame, and that's a problem. They're hanging their manager out to dry. Who's going to get the blame on Sunday if they lose? It'd be Wenger again, and it's gone beyond that now. "I feel Arsenal have gone. Confidence is shot, and I don't think they'll be up for a fight against Brighton. I can't see Arsenal being able to live with them. For me, they're the worst team in England without the ball." |
Oga raumdeuter, come and see what mister sane is saying about bundesliga. What do you think? Has he gone nuts? |
Neymar1095:my friend. The bayern match was a draw. |
Jamie Redknapp sat down with Manchester City forward Leroy Sane for a wide-ranging chat ahead of the Premier League leaders' clash with Chelsea at the Etihad on Super Sunday. The duo discuss everything from Pep Guardiola's influence, the 22-year-old's seemingly telepathic relationship with Kevin De Bruyne, the differences between the Premier League and the Bundesliga, how he relaxes away from the game, who his heroes are and his best position. Man City vs Chelsea March 4, 2018, 3:30pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Meanwhile, this weekend's must-see encounter with the champions - live on Sky Sports Premier League on Sunday afternoon - is also on the agenda, before the Germany international looks ahead to this summer's World Cup. In-form Sane Redknapp: Twelve goals this season and lots of assists, are you in the form of your life? Sane: Yes of course, this has been the best season of my career. I have improved a lot, even from last season, with this coach. And I am really enjoying it and having so much fun playing and training with my team-mates. I am kind of lucky to be here! Leroy Sane's season statistics Guardiola's influence Redknapp: How has Guardiola taken your game to the next level? Sane: As soon as I arrived here he was criticising me straight away! He showed me where I can improve and every time I made a mistake he would say, 'You have to do it like this!' And when I tried to do it, I could see it helped me. Before you come here you hear that he is a good coach and then you come here and you really see how he works and you feel it. And you realise, 'Wow he can really help me.' He makes the game easier for you to keep the ball, to see where your team-mates are, what you can do with them and how you can help them. And you can see that everybody wants the ball and to help… Pep Guardiola is constantly working on Sane to improve his game Having a Pep talk Redknapp: Guardiola told me to ask you about 'the simple things?!' Sane: I hear this every training session, every game, all the time! For him, he just wants us to do the simple things, like a pass over two metres. So just be focused on not making an easy mistake and losing the ball and then the other team makes a counter-attack and scores. They are like stupid mistakes and this is what he wants me - and the other players - to improve. Even I can improve, which is kind of funny! 'Kevin, here, here!' Redknapp: You seem to have a telepathic relationship with De Bruyne? Sane: Kevin is a fantastic player and everyone knows and can see that. He also really enjoys playing football and the way he plays is fantastic - the assists and some of the passes he plays….. I just run into the space and say, 'Kevin, here, here!' Sometimes he is not even looking at me and he still passes the ball. And that is why I always say that when Kevin has the ball, something is going to happen. So, we as strikers have to be ready and give him a choice of where to play the ball. And even if the space is really tight and you think the ball cannot go through, you still must expect that he will find a way to play the ball through. Leroy Sane has an amazing understanding with Man City team-mate De Bruyne (right) Scoring or assisting…. Redknapp: Do you get more enjoyment from creating than scoring a goal? Sane: Yes, especially when you give a good pass, or after dribbling past someone and then passing for someone to score. And sometimes you have to give an assist for someone to score a goal and that is a really good feeling. Sane says he loves creating goals for his team-mates Great expectations Redknapp: Is the Premier League everything you expected? Sane: Yes, it is a really tough league, but so much fun. The games are so crazy and quick and it is so exciting to watch the big games. And you never know what is going to happen, even if they play against smaller clubs you have to expect everything. So I am really enjoying playing in this league. No place like home? Redknapp: What are the differences between the Premier League and the Bundesliga? Sane: It is 100 per cent more physical here than in the Bundesliga, while it is quicker here. It is also kind of a bit boring in that you know it is Bayern Munich who is always winning the league! In the Premier League, anything can happen, whereas it is only Borussia Dortmund challenging Bayern. And they play carefully, they do not try and play good and aggressively at the front, to score goals and to play dangerously with risks. So this was what was really saying to me the Premier League is so exciting for me and this is what I tried to look for and even how I like to play. Sane (right) says the Premier League is hugely different from the Bundesliga Hero worshipping Redknapp: Who were your heroes growing up? Sane: Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho, especially Ronaldinho - how he was playing, enjoying football, you could never see that he had any pressure. It did not matter who was in front of him, he just tried to pass the player, no matter how, and this is the player I tried to play like! Runs in the family Redknapp: Your Mum was an Olympic athlete and your Dad was a fantastic footballer - did you always love football as a kid? Sane: Yes! I always wanted to play after school and even during school when we had breaks, I wanted to play and this is where I always had the most fun. Tough tacklers Redknapp: Who has been your toughest opponent in the Premier League? Sane: It was before when I was playing against Kyle Walker. And Crystal Palace's right-back Timothy Fosu-Mensah, I have played against him twice this season, and even last season, he had me really well under control and I told him how happy I was to play against him. Walker (left) has been Sane's toughest opponent when the right back was with Spurs Getting away from the game Redknapp: How do you relax away from football? Sane: For me, when I go out of the academy there is no football. I am not someone who watches every game from the Bundesliga, the Spanish League or even the Premier League. Of course, if there is a good game, like in the Champions League, I will watch it. But I am not always watching to see how they played and who is scoring. For me, it is important to get away from football, to calm down, relax and have fun with family and friends. Just champion Redknapp: What problems can Chelsea give you on Sunday? Sane: It will be a really tough game, they have really strong and quick strikers, they stay in the defence really well and waiting for the mistakes of the opponent. And then they try and attack you really quick, seeing the spaces and most of the time playing through the middle. So it will be a really tough game against them. Sane says City are wary of the threat Chelsea will pose them on Super Sunday Changing role? Redknapp: Could you see yourself becoming a central striker, or a No 10 over time, or do you like to play wide? Sane: I like to play wide, but as a youth I played more in the middle as a 10. So for me they are both really good positions and we will see what will happen if there are any coaches who come in and say, 'You can play through the middle for me.' But I am also really happy to play wide. 'Our target is to defend the World Cup' Redknapp: Are you looking forward to the World Cup with Germany? Sane: I hope I can be part of the squad that goes to the World Cup. I am really looking forward to it as it is the biggest tournament for football, everyone is watching it in the world and I hope I can get some experience there too. I think the Germany team is really good, strong team, we are one of the favourites and our target is to defend the World Cup. |
Why is no one hailing Mourinho for what he is doing for Scott Mctominay? Is it because he is 'the monster that kill kids'? |

airmark:when people get emotional about what they see a player do, instead of them to focus on the player and praise him, they will use it to make baseless assertions about another player. Now, that is not too much of a problem. The problem is when they continue in their strong head by refusing to say, 'oh! I was just emotional and made the bogus statement' or 'oh! Forget it. It was over the board'. I respect oga nateevs for this. He does not find it too difficult to do, unlike a lot of commenter on this board. |
airmark:what a pass |
sleekdot:okay. Our run of four consecutive draws |
Unlimited22:correct me if I am wrong. I think the only match hazard failed to score or assist since the turn of the year is the Bournemouth match. |

Arsenal is a fucking disgrace. My anger is not even that they are being beaten by city, but that the useless arsenal keep beating Chelsea all the time. Damn! Conte why? |
sleekdot:can you show me where number of goals was mentioned in that statement? |
sleekdot:hmm. The stone go fit hit neymar o. |
CapitalCee:let me tell you what this man does. He brings a good topic for discussion, then he deliberately takes a controversial stance. Boom! Argument has started. He continues to push the controversy. He is enjoying it. The argument is going, is going, he is busy, he is having a good time. Everyone keeps helping him to have a good time. Damn! That man is something else. |
sleekdot:are you saying that you wouldn't have argued with anyone who said by last season that, conte is better than Pep? |
MarvellousGrace: ddestiny20:[quote author=MarvellousGrace post=65426882]thanks |
sleekdot:you see yourself? I no just get strength. When you wanted to prove that hazard did not top the assist chart in one season like that which site did you bring? |
sleekdot:you use it when it suits you. When it does not, you run to the epl official site. I missed your hypocrisy though. Welcome back. |
