Gents,
Just keen to get Arsenal fan's opinions on Neville's comments on Wenger last night:
"To me it's arrogance. I think it's arrogance. I really do.
"To think that you are not going to adapt your team, to change to impact on the other teams that you're playing against and their strengths.
"It is either naive, or arrogance. Because they keep losing this way. Belief? It is mis-held belief.
"I've got great respect for Arsenal as a football club. Arsene Wenger's job is absolutely amazing.
"But I just cannot get my head around why he would not sign players of power to assist these talented players that you've got to enable them to win the league.
"It is the one big, if you like black mark, against Arsene Wenger in these last 10 years in terms of why he hasn't identified an issue with these types of players (points to Coquelin and Cazorla) - because they cannot win the league with them. It can't happen.
"I can't think of a word to describe that bunch. I could but it wouldn't be usable on television.
"They are certainly not what you want to win you a league, the powerful characters, the strength you need running through your team whether it's a Blackburn team or a Manchester City team with Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany."
Fair or Harsh?
Personally, I think it was a bit harsh although I can see his point. Particularly harsh was picking out Cazorla for criticism who has been a great player for you guys.

Let's put all the other Wenger flaws to one side for a sec. The guy doesn't even know how to pick a side.

Why pick out coq and cazorla? Both have been real good for us. Coq did 2 last ditch tackles yesterday and helped out our makeshift defence pretty good. And Cazorla has been one of our most consistent players
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not directly a criticism of these players - it's a criticism of AW for not bringing in a Vieira-type player and therefore being forced to use Cazorla in that deeper role (though his age may also have had something to do with it) and to recall Coq from his loan as a last resort. The players have stepped up when asked (for the most part) but AW should have had a plan for it to not get to this point.

Wenger is football smart but very stubborn and reluctant to change his tactics. Yesterday was yet another tepid performance against Liverpool. This was a game that they needed to win.

Neville is spot on. Even he as a neutral and ex Manc is tired of Wenger's antics.
He had enough yesterday and threw it out there.
Henry, on the other hand, how deluded was he? He had no clue what he was talking about.

That va va voom geezer soon jumped ship when wenger lost the plot so he can't say anything the cheeky frog.
