Why Arsenal Deserve It
I write this on halftime break of Bolton game. We are 2-0 down thanks to a poor defending inside the box and a stupid mistake by Gilberto.
From what I saw, Bolton's defense are not that fantastic either and we could make a strong comeback and win this game 3-2 or even 4-2 if we can get our defenders' head right. I will single out Lehmann for praise as he superbly kept us in the game.
Now I don't care if we win this game 4-2 or 10-2 later on. The truth is I have just witnessed two things that convince me that should we find ourselves without trophy and finishing behind Chelsea, Man Utd and even Liverpool come the end of this season, we deserve it!
The first thing is our defence. Poor concentration and poor discipline. Mourinho would have benched Gilberto for his mistake and he would have crossed Cygan out of his squad for such displays. Wenger? Well he couldn't because of the second thing which is Wenger's greatest flaw as a great man.
He is stubborn. The more you tell him that the idea of playing Cygan as a leftback is a stupid one, the more he wants to show you how right his judgment is. Cygan constantly failed to pass the ball up the field and there is one time where Henry needed to trace back to cover Cygan's area. I would love to see us losing 4-0 in this game if you ask me. I would love to see another 2 goals conceded because of Cygan's mistake. I would love it and I would hope Wenger will learn from that.
I am not blaming Cygan or Gilberto here. And I am not saying that Wenger isn't a good manager. But he has flaws which he refuses to fix and a person who refuse to learn from his mistakes deserve failure.
