«Clueless»,» Spineless» and» Horrible» are criticisms spreading across the world by football fans when they saw the recent Arsenal. Are they right? Unfortunately, yes. As a staunch believer of Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, I always take their criticisms lightly until the Gunners lost themselves in Britannia Stadium.

What Went Wrong

The same old question that I hate to answer but have haunted me more frequent recently. After their midweek nightmare against Spurs, Arsenal knew it was crucial to beat Stoke City but it has proved otherwise. Did we make any progress since 4 years ago? I bet we did but along the way we lost some. Perhaps, it is time to point fingers to who should take the blame after all we have lost three matches since and mind you, it is only November.

Maybe the whole world except Wenger knows that the Gunners have lost it long ago but the latter failed to realize it. So back to my question, who should take shoulder the fault? Is it Wenger who feels rotating players is a new trend, the players whom have lost their belief or the referees who are at risk of being bashed up in the streets of North London? To me, it could be either, neither or all of the above.

The DM factor

I think 99.99% of the gooners have been writing to any soccer websites that says «Buy a Midfielder» and hoping their prayers would be answered. Apparently, it has fallen deaf on Arsene Wenger’s ears. Ironically, the manager that I have always admired was the person who invented the idea of «pivotal midfield» during the days when Patrick Vieira was alive in Highbury and was largely successfully. Clueless as I am, why couldn’t Wenger repeat his baby?

We need to face the fact that our midfield dominance has been gone with the days of The Invincibles. Coming along is Gilberto Silva and Mathieu Flamini who managed to pick up some of the pieces but that is not enough to warrant a quality midfield. Denilson? Rome was not built in a day and what’s more telling 20year-old to who has less than a 100 league appearances to muster the midfield.

Defiant Wenger Not buying a midfielder. There is more than meet the eye; analysts suggested that Wenger is doing all what he can do to prepare Denilson to replace Fabregas if he decides to leave Arsenal.

Blessing in Disguise

Some say that recent losses could turn out to be Arsenal’s gain -the pressure for Wenger to buy players. Will it really turn out as it seems? I can’t tell for sure not at least when Mr. Wenger is still asleep. As mush as I fear, the Gunners will sink further into the bottomless pit if nothing is going to be changed.
