You know I knew at the beginning of the season we weren’t going to be a championship calibre team. I knew that in all likelihood the silverware drought would have to end via the Carling Cup or FA Cup. But right now 5 games in, I am hard pressed to say I saw this coming. As Wenger said today in his press conference:

“It’s very strange believe me.”

Yes, Arsene this is all very strange. For 15 years we’ve had a pretty easy ride of it. Qualification for the Champion’s League – check. Competitive in the EPL – check. Good FA Cup run – check. Solid preview of the young talent via the Carling Cup – check. Right now however, none of that is as important as just winning a bloody match.

It’s so bad for Arsenal recently, that I don’t even get stick from opposing fans, I get pity. I liked it better when I got stick, I’ll tell you that. The simple fact is however, we are not the shell of our formerselves, we are even a remote carbon copy. We are a mess pure and simple. Honestly, I wish it wasn’t so. I wish I could sit here with a straight face and say it was all going to work out. I just don’t know that it is.

For Arsenal at 5 games in to the season, a win against Bolton is now an absolute must. It must be won so that the club can begin to arrest the fall into the abyss.  There must be a win to try and restore some sense of confidence to a team that seems absolutely devoid of it right now. Really, this is a chance to try and get some semblance of normalcy returned to the club heading into next week’s North London Derby.

The result at Blackburn was depressing on so many levels for me the most depressing part of it was that for the first 45 it looked like we had turned our corner. We bossed the game we move the ball as we are accustomed to and we scored some fine goals. (Again, not thinking we were winning the league – just getting in line to make us competitive). But the second half we were devoid of anything that resembled the team that came onto the pitch in the first half.

If Arsenal are going to improve, they are going to need to put together 2 halves of complete football. Only then will they feel good about themselves and likely (hopefully) turn things around. Good (or maybe its bad) for them that their opponent this weekend is another league bottom dweller (misery loves company eh.

For all intensive purposes this is another club Arsenal even in their fragile state should dispatch. But then again so was Blackburn. All it really means at this point is that anything can happen. Bolton are a team who opened the season with an emphatic win but have been steadily declining since then losing their last 4 league matches. Like Arsenal their defence is letting in goals – they have conceded 13 so far. All in all, it is a situation ripe for the Gunners.

But the Gunners are off to the worst start of a season since the 53-54 season.  Like Bolton we only have one win under our belt. And we lead the league with goals allowed at 14. Should they lose this match they will have the lowest point tally since that same 53-54 season.

There are likely a ton of excuses for this run of form. Some of it lies with the manager. Other portions of it lies with the players. Then there is the never ending parade of injuries we deal with it. 5 games into the season and Arsenal have already had 27 different players on the pitch.  Whatever the reason, the Gunners need to do something or this really could be a mutiny of the worst kind coming from the fans.

Another loss and the management of the team will have to seriously consider its recent statement of support for Wenger. While he may not be the only reason, he is the reason that can be easily remedied. You don’t have the ability to sack the board – though Silent Stan might do some good if he sacked Hill-Wood and Gazidis (even if they were to eventually sack Wenger). While I don’t want Wenger to go another loss and you just can’t see how you stop this. You can’t jettison players. Not until January. You may sit some and opt for younger but then you really concede any hope of improving your table standing – and that is unacceptable. So the players stay.  So like I said should Owen Coyle and Bolton provide us with another set back I cannot see this team going forward with Wenger at the helm. That’s sad. Its uncomprehensible what this club will be like. I have memories of the Graham era but they are a paled by Wenger’s shadow. He looms large over every aspect of the club. Should he suffer a fate worse then death this weekend it will be interesting to see what happens to the club.

However, Wenger is here. Now. It is still his club to lead. And there is still a match that can be played. Players need to stand up and be accountable and in front of the Arsenal faithful there is no better place to start.

How the Match Should Play Out:

The Gunners are at home in front of a fan base hungry for improvement. Unlike any recent match look for the first team to come out charging and looking to swiftly attack the leaky Bolton defence. The key will be if the Gunners get an early lead will they be able to hold it and lock down the win. The Bolton attack isn’t that freightening. So there is hope that the Gunners can tighten up in the back. For a defence that is learning to play together on the fly – this is a time to work out kinks before the next big match of season. In the end the Arsenal attack is the deciding factor in this match up.

Players to watch:

Arsenal: Robin Van Persie. In times before now, the Gunners turned to Cesc Fabregas when the chips were down. Now RvP needs to strap the team on his back and lead the way out of the abyss.

Bolton: Gary Cahill. Long associated with a move to the Emirates. It will time for him to show Arsenal what they are missing.

Probable Starting XI:

Injuries and Suspensions:
Arsenal: Diaby (ankle), Vermaelen (ankle), Wilshere (ankle), Benayoun (thigh), Djourou (hamstring), Squillaci (calf)

Bolton: Holden (doubt – match fitness after injury), Gardner (doubt – groin), Klasnic (suspended), Alonso (foot), Mears (leg), Lee (leg), Davis (knee), Ricketts (calf)

The Final Word

For those of you pining for the return of Jack Wilshere, you’re going to have to wait a little longer. The club announced that on Monday Wilshere will undergo surgey on the foot injury he picked up during the Euro 2012 campaign and was subsequently reinjured in the pre-season.

The team originally thought the player could heal while the player rested and his foot was in a boot. Now, the turn for the worse means that Wilshere will under go the surgery and be sidelined until the new year.

After the club’s announcement Jack took to twitter with this to say:

“Been in a boot for a month and the bone is not responding. i will have surgery on my right ankle on monday with the two best surgeons around. Hopefully i will return to action around christmas time. i am in good hands! thanks for your support everyone!”

Well, it is clear that Jack is this year’s version of Vermaelen. It is worrisome that one of our best players is going to be out for a prolonged period of time. It means that both Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta are going to have to A. stay healthy and B. bare the burden of the midfield duties. While Arteta has been impressive, Ramsey has not. The injury to Wilshere leaves us short and creates a worrying situation in light of the club’s recent form.

Oh well . . . until next time.

Stay Gooneris!!!

    Seems to me that posting something positive about arsenal brands you straight away as an “AKB”. Frankly, we deserved the 3 points, yes we were a little bit shaky in the first half but in the second we were great offensively. RVP and Walcott were fantastic and Gervinho had a good game too, Song scored a nice goal. But if the so-called realists (or haters) want to challenge me then go for it, but I thought we played well, good performance by the team, I think (hope) we may have turned a corner. To SHL next week and that will be an eye-opener to say the least

    • DaAdminGooner 25 September, 2011 at 08:09 Log in to Reply

      Very true George. Some people around here would rather just focus on the negative. To me a true realist (What some of the haters refer to themselves as) would acknowledge the truth of both successful performances as well as the negative.

      Och well . . .

    Good performance by the lads. Arteta looking ever more promising and RvP seems to be getting back to his best

    Particularly impressed with Song so far this season, but for poor finishing he would probably be topping the charts with assists. Definitely the MotM in my opinion, he deserved a goal too, he really is looking good right now.

    Yep the defensive frailities are still there, Bolton were hardly the team to test it but I am just happy we look like a team capable of scoring many goals again.

    I can only see things gettting better from here except our MvP RvP gets injured that is.

    • HighburyTerraceSteve 24 September, 2011 at 14:44 Log in to Reply

      @arthur3sheds, Win a match and the AKBs come out of the woodwork….(winky face)

      Gotta agree that RVP looked good, but I’d say he’s in a class by himself. The comparisons of Arteta to Cesc will persist, but the former’s off the ball movement is far inferior. Whereas Cesc would pass and create an idea for a return pass, Arteta is static. With Wilshere out until the new year the ideas will continue to be few and far between…..

      And Song going further forward (as a solution) will make few happy, despite the nice goal today. Still, I’d expect to see more of Le Coq or Mr T (Frimpong) in there with Song and Arteta, mostly because I fear for the health of Ramsey and Rosicky, not to mention their defensive abilities. All told, it’s not a group of central MFs that will create as much fear as it would if we had the likes of Cesc, Nasri or Wilshere…..

      That being said, Gervinho and Theo (until the hammy) looked ready to run (as opposed to Arshavin)….Both would be absolute class if they just could sort out their first and final (and middle) touches….At least they seem to be looking to fill in the spaces that RVP creates with his movement…..

      All told a much needed 3 points….though a bit frustrating to allow the wounded quarry to persist for 45 mins (with a couple of serious set-piece and counter-attack exposures, fortunately spurned). Hopefully we can build a bit more against the Greeks and go into the Derby with a modicum of self-belief….

      @arthur3sheds,

      Song was horrid, brainless in his real job. His inability to do his job is one of the reasons we have a shit defense. Bolton had NOBODY at all in their squad yet they still tortured this team silly.

      All his Denilshit-like “assists” won’t cover up that fact.

      • DaAdminGooner 24 September, 2011 at 15:38 Log in to Reply

        @Fred,

        Yeah Fred they tortured us. Those 3 shots on goal (2 on target) really tore us up. Or maybe it was that 37% possession they used to run our midfield ragged.

        Fred we get it you don’t like the team. Even when they win you don’t like this team. But its old and its predictable.

        Don’t worry about writing your next comments Fred, I think we know the script from here.

        • Fred 24 September, 2011 at 16:13

          @DaAdminGooner,

          DAG, what on gods green earth does shots on goal or possession have to do with the result or the comment I made??? (Blackburn had ONLY 31% possession last week by the way). Bolton were in way too many dangerous positions DOWN OUR MIDDLE (a recurring problem for SIX years now) …. mostly because our “DM” is daft. (Remember my comment is about Song’s performance). Any competent team would still have torn this team apart because we are still making the SAME mistakes, we are still leaving ourselves WIDE OPEN, we have still changed NOTHING.

          PS: DAG, you know you should NOT brag any further about this BS result against a BS team. You know what happens when peeps brag about this team right??? We get smashed the very next game. And with Spurs AWAY up next, I would not tempt fate.

          PSS: We realists have been right about EVERYTHING for the last seven years. No amount of snarky comments will change that.

          PSSS: Alex Song’s performance of his REAL job was woeful.

        • DaAdminGooner 24 September, 2011 at 16:43

          Sorry Fred. I disagree. Bolton were not a threat down the middle. I don’t know what match you watched. They got us on one good counter. The did a good job of clogging us up in the first half but in the second half except for the counter that Gibbs thwarted there was no threat down the middle. Sorry you are wrong.

          And Fred let this be the only warning to you – don’t tell me what to do on my blog.You don’t like what I have to say – fine. You want to debate me fine. But tell me what to do on my blog and you won’t be commenting here again. Got it?

          I tolerate alot. And my patience on this blog has been tested quite a bit but I wont tell you what to write. You don’t tell me. I will say what I want on this blog.

          But you know Fred, I guess a haters got to hate.

        • Fred 24 September, 2011 at 18:31

          @DaAdminGooner,

          Where did I tell you what not to say on your blog? What I am saying is that whenever the team gets one of these results (with the attendant shaky performance), you rose-tinted folks go on a bragging spree and start attacking us realists. The last time you were attacking my opinion of the team’s performance this much on your blog was three days before the Carlings Cup final. You brought out all the stats claiming our defense really wasn’t bad, etc, etc, etc. whilst attacking all my opinion. Needless to say I (and all the realists) were right on everything being argued about back then.

          Feel free to ban me WHENEVER you please … as I have said, I will give whatever opinion I like (without attacking anybody personally or using swear words). Other than that I will say EXACTLY what I think without apologies. Remember, YOU were the one who attacked my comments.

          ———————————————————————
          – Song was useless at his real job (you havent countered that). Too many times he was careless, too many times, he didn’t follow runners, too many times he rashly went in for tackles he shouldn’t go for. Any REAL team will punish these blunders.

          – We were wide open DOWN THE MIDDLE. You don’t need to believe it. You can allow the 3-0 score cloud things and make you think everything is all good. I have been saying for years that our defensive problems come from midfield and the weakness there, we still are not correcting anything. But no problems, everything is great. Our only DM thinks he is Zinedine Zidane. Kumbaya!
          Next week, he faces Modric.

          – At least you accept the whole possession stats is meaningless?

          PS: Don’t tell me patronising stuff like “let this be your last warning” (you responded to my comment at Artur remember, I was never responding to you in the first place).

          If I can’t post on your blog, I’ll simply shuffle off to any other blog run by an ex-Arsenal America commenter. It’s not exactly the end of the world.

      @arthur3sheds,

      In terms of team structure, Song is still a massive weakness, although he seems to evolving in other areas. We’re at the stage where we’ve got to see whether this improvement will justify the defensive clownery, which let’s not forget, was in full bore only last week in that rain soaked second half at Ewood.

      • Fred 24 September, 2011 at 19:10 Log in to Reply

        @Mazza,

        There is absolutely NOTHING a supposed DM can contribute offensively that will mitigate the damage done defensively. Especially as he is the ONLY DM in the entire team. (Frimpong is not even an EPL worthy player so no point even talking about him).

        There HAS to be competent defending in midfield. No roundabouts. No two ways about it. No shortcuts.

        Defending is not fun. It is hardwork at times, boring at other times … that is why Song and the other clowns don’t like it.

        No team can win ANYTHING without strength, tactical nous, hardwork, brawn and brains down the midle. We have NONE of that!

        • Mazza 24 September, 2011 at 19:25

          @Fred,

          it’s getting to the point where it’s obvious he has permission from Wenger to go forward. Many times the likes of Arteta and Ramsay stay back to let Song do his thing.

          The whole thing encourages dereliction of duty, and all the other team has to do is up the tempo, with a bit of quality, and a clear sight on our goal is achievable. It’s why we are constantly in ridiculous high scoring games where we concede straight after we score, and you can bet we’ll see it in its full glory next week. The likes of Modric take advantage of that amateur stuff week in week out.

          Can already see Arteta’s haunted expressions at the whole thing.

        • Fred 24 September, 2011 at 19:34

          @Mazza,

          Yup, you see a look of disbelief in Arteta’s face sometimes. It’s incredible.

          And next week we don’t even need Modric to show Song up … in our last game against them, Huddlestone (of all people) was destroying him constantly simply by pushing the ball to one side and accelerating. Song either got beaten or concedes a free-kick. Really, that is what it takes to beat our starting DM.

          You would think someone who is lacking agility, nous and brains to anticipate AMs would SIT BACK, conserve energy, provide stability and IMPROVE HIMSELF. But NOOOO … instead he abandons post, runs up the pitch figuring he is Andres Iniesta. All with the full blessing of our “manager”.

          Heaven help us.

    Bolton putting out a skeleton squad (no Cahill, K. Davies on the bench)….If we can’t get a win today, lord help us….

    Our record signing (AA23) starts on the bench for us….In matches where he hasn’t started we’re 3-0-0 (Udinese matches, and the CC match in midweek) vs 1-1-3 when he has started. To be fair, he scored our lone goal last time at home in the league (vs Swansea)…..Hmmmm…….

    Sitting in the GDC hoping for company…..

  4. HighburyTerraceSteve 24 September, 2011 at 10:42 Log in to Reply

    Hoping for the best today and I think we’re fortunate that Klasnic is suspended as he’s been the principal beneficiary of Davies’ knock down work. It’ll be interesting to see which two of Theo, Andrey and Gervais make the starting 11 and if they can work effectively with RVP. (Failure of the latter and the Captain last Saturday probably killed that result….)

    Michael S (below)….I agree that AW rotates players using injuries as an excuse. I’m not sure there are outright lies about things like surgery and long-term injuries, but there certainly are about knocks from match to match. IMO lying to the press/supporters in order to protect players does everybody a disservice. Each match there are 11 starters and 7 bench positions. Managers at top clubs need to get results while keeping the squad fresh and keeping players positive. It’s not easy but acknowledging that players must perform (i.e., that they’re not in the squad because they need to do better….) seems better than trying to protect fragile egos in a misguided attempt to enhance confidence.

    But of course I don’t mean to criticize Arsene Wenger as that might make things harder for those who feel the need to divide the world into AKBs and realists (or something)…..also below….

    The manager’s comments about salary negotiations shouldn’t come as a suprise to anyone. Things are skewed big time and the timing of Arsenal’s more egalitarian (and wishful) salary structure with the arrival of Sheik Mansour’s Petrolpounds (on top of Abramovich rubles) could not have been worse. Married to the selection of way too many mediocre players to carry the future of Arsenal and you have us sending our players out in two directions: the decent ones have gone to City for higher wages (and very good transfer fees) while the failures out on loan to widely dispersed teams. Clearly we need to change things up, giving our best players enough to keep them in North London and letting our prospects fight to get to that level. Maybe we’ll hear from Stan on that subject someday, but I doubt it as the American seems content to plunder the club as much as possible. It seems just as likely we’ll hear from Stan when he announces the sale of the club to Usmanov, which might be just the tonic we need. David Dein negotiating with his son Darren to keep (good) players at the Club is the definition of nepotism but seems better than the current scenario….

    Right, putting aside the big picture for the moment.. Cahill and Davies rumoured to be out for Bolton. Dunno if it’s true but we really SHOULD hammer Bolton. No our performances don’t give us the right to say we should be hammering anyone, but would be nice…

    Anyone got the lineup yet?

    I don’t believe this “injured for long ass parts of the season” bullshit. He tells the injured star that they are in fact injured when really they’re not that bad and the star believes Wenger because he has won their trust already.

    I think Wenger then uses their absence to exploit his weaker players – so he can see their full range of capabilities without the risk of injuring his “star player” again:

    1. Cesc – 2 seasons ago
    2. TV – last season
    3. JW – This season

    There were probably others before that but I can’t remember. In my mind he’s still persisting with his “long term vision”, all this is a bit paranoid I know but I don’t put anything past Wenger’s arrogance any more

        @OziKenyan,

        Remember the mysterious Almunia injury which lasted for half the season.

        Squillaci has also had this extended “vague” injury since his run of bad performances.

        Who knows, but where there is smoke there is fire.

    Today’s Arseblog says RvP, Song, Walcott and Vermaelen are going to be in the LAST year of their contracts this summer!!

    And the first two of those four have recently hired Darren Dein (who is a transfer specialist) as their agent!!!!

    By doing that they have already told us point blank that they are LEAVING.

    I have absolutely no problem with Song and Walcott getting lost. Those two are the most brainless players at the club.

    The most “hilarious” part is that even IF we make top four it will NOT be enough to convince RvP to stay (he is getting old and has not won anything).

    We have WASTED four years of our time on Alex Freaking Song and Brainless Walcott …. and yet they will dump us because we are not good enough for them.

    This is exactly what us non-AKBs have been saying for years would happen, but Wenger aided by his groupies (AKBs) kept on deluding themselves. Now even half-wit dummy players that we have sacrificed playing time dont want to stay.

    What was the point of the playing time we gave the likes of Eboue, Denilshit and co.?

    The AKBs are still saying we should not get rid of the CANCER at the club (Wenger). They havent been right about ANYTHING.

    I dont understand why you are hoping RvP can carry the team …. he is not that sort of player.

    As a forward, he literally can’t. And as a non-fast, non-strong, non-big forward … he has absolutely no chance of doing that.

    He is a forward who feeds of scraps and half-chances. Nothing more.

    Re: Opposing fans having pity ….

    Yup, I know tons of Man U fans and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has taken to saying kind things about Arsenal.

    Arsenal is now a freaking charity case. Pathetic.
