Wigan 1 - 0 Arsenal

I didn't watch the game and don't intend to watch the replay. I am afraid Wenger has never wanted to win the Carling Cup in the first place. He wants the CL place for next season, and he wants FA Cup. But we were already in semifinal that it's just sort of a waste to lose it here.

Arsenal World suggests that we were playing one of our worst football games ever since Wenger arrived. The thing is that we have witnessed quite a number of games this season which could qualify into our top ten worst display of football. Four or five years ago, I remember how often I got disgusted over the fact that despite playing very well Arsenal were losing or more often, drawing. Our defense were solid and our midfield were dominating. We created chance after chance. During that time, I would always pointed out that Arsenal only need a clinial striker to bury all those chances and we would be complete.

Only now do I realize how lucky we were then. It's much more painful to watch your team losing games they don't deserve to win. There are too many weaknesses within the team that I don't even know where to start.

But I know for sure that we do need good defense coach. I do know that we do need good tactical coach to advise Wenger. And I do know that we do need to start letting go the naive approach where we would always attack through the middle.

Score from crosses, long passes, corners, free kicks, headers. Exploit all the possibility in attacking and stop being one-dimentional.
