Let’s all laugh at Wenger’s Arsenal

PLEASE LET’S LAUGH AT WENGER’S ARSENAL

Now I don’t know the football club you support but let me categorically state here that I am a strong supporter of Arsenal football club- that kind of fan whose heart has been brutalized, battered, shattered, remolded and shattered again in an endless loop of underachieving performances year after year in the English Premier league, yet I can’t help it but wear the Arsenal shirt all the time.

What more can I say? My heart has been turned into a fortified fortress with gates of brass. As a matter of fact, I am now immune to any kind of heartbreak be it from a wife, girlfriend, co-worker, football club or even from the beloved Arsenal football club – many thanks to Arsene Wenger. How, on earth can someone be doing the same thing every other year; repeating the same mistakes of yesteryear exactly as they were originally wrongly made and have high hopes of getting near let alone let alone achieving a better result. It doesn’t work even in the city of fantasy.

Now see the thing that baffles me. Arsenal FC’s problems are not hidden or far-fetched. Even the ‘blindest’ in the city of blind men could see that the club needs a fast and proven prolific goal scorer who can score at least 20 goals in a season. Olivier Giroud has never attempted that since he came to Arsenal. All we know him for is scoring in maybe four or five consecutive matches and blanking out anonymously for the next nine to ten matches. Imagine a situation where Ozil created more than a hundred goal-scoring chances last season and yet Giroud couldn’t score up to twenty goals. It’s a shame! Even a snail can be faster than him when it comes to chasing down balls and running in behind the defenders.

 I know that Arsenal has got a lot of attacking talents upfront but imagine what a striker in the mould of Antoinne Griezmann, Sergio Aguero, or the so-much courted but lost Gonzalo Higuan could add to the Arsenal attack. A combination with the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Alex Iwobi, Oxlade Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla and the goal-shy Mesut Ozil who ‘hates’ scoring himself but derives so much joy in creating clear-cut, goal bound passes  will scare the living daylight out of any defence the world has to offer.

Wenger knew full well that the ‘pacy’ Per Mertesacker is injured and would be out for up to five months. He also knew that he would be playing a certain Liverpool FC whose manager has done some tremendous squad reshaping with the introduction of some good players including the high pressing nature of their game. He also knew that Laurent Koscielny would not be playing that match because of match fitness issues due to the Euros he featured in and he practically made no effort to replace these players in time before the match. I didn’t know the kind of backline he was expecting to stop all the attacking threat from these fast and brutal Liverpool attackers. Gabriel was injured almost a week to the match but was that a reasonable excuse for not doing what he was supposed to have done since the transfer market opened.

Please my fellow football lovers, join me in pleading with Mr. Wenger to do the right thing and save Arsenal football club. We are tired of all the excuses. We are tired of the same old story where they tell us that there is big money in Wenger’s coffers to spend and bring in quality players and we end up speculating, only to back of a deal when it is just some few addition to the stipulated player fee. Somebody should help me scream Wenger’s name or better still laugh if you can.
