Lauren and the young loanees

“The problem is that since Lauren got injured I have Justin Hoyte who got promoted, I have Emmanuel Eboue who got promoted and I have Johan Djourou who can play in there too,” explained Wenger.
“It’s always the same. You make room for young players and then it is difficult to leave them out again. I feel we have too many players in that position now.
“Lauren is free to talk to anyone because it is the end of his contract but frankly I don’t know if he has spoken to West Ham. He doesn’t have to inform me if he wants to speak to anyone.”

Wenger also talked briefly about the three Arsenal youngsters currently on loan at Birmingham. Swedish midfielder Sebastian Larsson might be sold but his fellow loanees Nicklas Bendtner and Fabrice Muamba will not be leaving Arsenal.

Here’s a question for you,

If you had to sniff Lauren or Freddie Ljungbergs Groin, which Groin would you sniff?

Bear in mind you’d have to do the groin sniffing at half time, in a match aginst Fulham

(Ralph) ((They didn’t actually say that, but I did)) Lauren has recovered from his minor toe injury but is unlikely to feature at Ewood Park.

He’s a goner

I am not an Eboue hater as some are. I actually think he has been one of the better additions to the club since his arrival. Overall, I think that other clubs have seen that to beat Arsenal they need to hope for a defensive breakdown that happen all too often and then drop into a protective shell. I agree that our scoring has left something to be desired and that the lack of willingness to fire off an on target shot from the edge of the penalty area has allowed other clubs to play this ugly style. I’m not asking for the aerial passes from our back four, just an effort at shooting from a bit of distance, not just trying to walk the ball into the goal. Rosicky’s display at Anfield is an excellent example. I have seen RVP and others do the same before, it just seems that for much of the first half of the season everyone has been attempting to find the perfect shot instead of the good enough one that scores the goal.

My first opinion was just that Lauren will certainly be missed when he does leave and some of his attitude might help Eboue with his antics of late.

Cheers!

To be champions we have to do that. And to be champions we should take our chances before they score…

For instance in games like Villa and West Ham, the goals didn’t come until the second half and dying minutes respectively and we should have been well ahead by then. Same for Man City and Sheffield United, we should have already taken the lead by the time they scored in the 41st and 42nd minute respectively. Portsmouth also struck on half-time after Robin had missed a few good chances… Bolton and Fulham I will put down to standard Arsenal November madness. My point is, we should have been winning all those games by the time we fell a goal behind. So to blame the defence and to kinda excuse the attack by saying 9 men sitting deep… well it should never have happened as we should already have won the game inside 20 to 30 minutes, like the very best of Wenger’s teams. I think this team is getting there though as the recent goal rush proves.

Seeing as much of the grief comes on Eboue, the only goal he was very guilty for was against Newcastle. Even Toure has had his nightmares, i.e. Sheffield United and giving away an early penalty against Blackburn. So my point again… leave off on the lad! The defence is not to blame for all of our dropped points, nor are the negative tactics of teams who take the lead after we spurn a host of chances and finally, it’s certainly not all Eboue’s fault.

We have only conceded 4 more goals than United but scored 8 fewer. The big difference in the points that I have noticed has been those lost when our defense has a gaffe and our opposition drops 8 or 9 into the penalty area to guard against our attack. It isn’t just a lack of scoring goals, but the combination of defensive mistakes and having to shoot through all but one or two of the other team.
