I watched the match and it wasn't as one sided as you make it seem. Main thing is Wenger found a way to bottle all his attempts at European glory, even when he faced inferior teams.

Checking the stats 10 man Gala had more shots than you guys. Most of the memorable Taffarel saves in extra time when Hagi had already been sent off.

Also Taffarel while a good GK was never at any time the best GK in the world, not earlier in his career in the era of Walter Zenga and Schmeichel AND definitely not later in his career in the era of Schmeichel and Oliver Kahn.

Taffarel was the best goalie at the 94 world cup. He was the shot stopper that helped Brazil to win the WC. Internationally he was the best.

That's not taking anything from the Gala side. They were by all means deserving.

For those who missed the Uruguay vs Argentina match, please do yourselves a favor to watch extended highlights with special focus on Torreira. Despite not playing regular club football, Torreira had a very dominant performance playing the deep role (DM). This man was doing everything, he intercepted passes, tackled perfectly, screened for the back 4, built the attack from deep and was involved in the set up for the first goal. This is his natural position as against the no 10/ CM role Emery has been forcing on him whenever he uses him. Torreira enjoys playing at the base and when there is an opportunity go forward. His ball playing skills helped Uruguay transition attack quicker from defense to attack. Sadly, at this point, I am convinced the man will leave Arsenal and I will definitely not forgive Emery for how he has mismanaged Torreira.

You are very correct about Torreira and I would only prefers he go while we bring in WILFRED NDIDI in place most especially now that XHAKA too is being eyed by NEWCASTLE UNITED

You are the one overreacting because you obviously didn’t read the post i was responding to.

Saying “dem no born Fergie or JM if Wenger had spent money” is tantamount to overrating him.

Money was not the only difference.

The question is if Wenger had unlimited resources as Fergie then, would he have achieved more than Fergie?
Personally I believe he could.

But just as Sod pointed out, he was stubborn and arrogant and insisted in grooming and building stadiums instead of title cabins.
That was so unselfish of him though, but life is being a little bit selfish. He is a legend no doubt. He built Arsenal.

This is why i say he was overrated. Saying he would have achieved more than Ferguson when there isn’t any good evidence to back it up.


Fergie won trophies locally and in Europe with and without money. His Aberdeen records exist.
And if we delve into the 1st 5-6 seasons of the EPL we will see multiple years in which he won titles without spending the most for that year.

But the excuse artists for Wenger are blaming lack of money for a life time of choking in Europe.

92/93 season Fergie won the league despite being no 7 on the expenditure list.

93/94 season he won again despite being no 2 on expenditure list.

95/96 season he won the league with kids despite being no 40 ( yes no 40) on the expenditure list.

96/97 he won the league despite being no 6 in expenditure.

In summary Fergie won 4 league titles in 5 years despite never spending the most in any year.

Finally. In their first 5 seasons together Wenger outspent Fergie in 3 of those seasons but it was Fergie that won 3 EPL titles with Wenger winning 2.

Torreia and Ndidi can form good partnership..
Xhaka can go and any other celebrity not willing to bust his lungs for us.

The only point I can relate with is the 95/96 season.
You think we will just sit and believe those stats up there? No sir.
Show us links. Thanks.

Line up. I hope Tierney gets to do his pull outs/crosses and the forward players latch on it for good

In the 5 seasons from from 1991/1992 to 1995/1996 Ferguson won the league 3 times and came 2nd the 2 other times despite being no 9 in expenditure.

3-5-2 is the only formation that allows your 3 best attacking players to be on the pitch at the same time and play in their natural positions.
I have never really liked all this Auba on the wings stuff.

Play Auba and Laca through the middle with Ozil behind them and get your width with Bellerin and Tierney.

Somebody tell Tierney dem no dey gamble for that kind position ó.

Na those.kind goals Ward-Prowse dem.dey score pass ó

See rubbish play from Lacazzette

You are absolutely right about the offense but the back 3 predicts calamity/ confusion when we are defending with 5/6 players around the box. Arsenal players lack the discipline, positional awareness and communicate poorly which affects spacing. Ultimately no one is really accountable for opposing players and this has been prominent in how Arsenal have played.
