THE OFFICIAL KNEEJERK REACTION TOPIC.

Team needs another two Cazorla's/Wilshere's and some steel/desire/discipline. Infact same heart as Jenkinson.

 

Typical performance, doing enough but not enough, against a team that frankly was coasting and there for the taking.

 

Which is why it will be no suprise if we beat Man Utd but lose to QPR. Consistently inconsistent and complacent.

Arsene Wenger has rounded on his critics in the press following his side's opening day defeat at home to Aston Villa.

The Arsenal manager felt his team had once again played out their opening fixture in a negative atmosphere because of criticism over the club's lack of moves in the transfer market, having failed to secure the signatures of both Gonzalo Higuain and Luis Suarez.

 

"You got what you wanted, you should be happy," Wenger said to reporters in his post-match press conference. "Before the start the season that was all you write in the papers so what do you expect?"

 

Wenger, though, insisted today's 3-1 defeat was not down to a lack of summer investment.

"Could we have won the game with the players we had on the pitch? I say yes," he continued.

"If we don't spend the money, it is because we don't find the players.

 

 

"I am not the only one to work on that, we are a team that works on that and we are ready to buy the players if we find the players good enough for us.

"My job is to make the fans happy, but we haven't lost a game because of that (not spending).

"We take our work seriously and we analyse every player in the world and spend 24 hours a day doing that.

"We are ready to spend, but until we buy players we have to win football games and it is not an excuse not to win the game today."

Wenger also criticised referee Anthony Taylor for his part in Arsenal's defeat. The Gunners had led through an early Olivier Giroud goal before Christian Benteke equalised from a penalty rebound.

 

In what proved to be the defining moment of the match, the visitors were awarded a controversial penalty on the hour when Laurent Koscielny looked to have won the ball in his challenge with Gabriel Agbonlahor, before Benteke netted from the spot.

The France defender, booked for his challenge, was then soon shown a second yellow by Taylor for clattering into Andreas Weimann

New signing Antonio Luna added a late third for the visitors - before unhappy chants of "spend some money" rang out from the home support at full-time.

 

Wenger, though, was left perplexed by the whole series of events in a match which was also notable for featuring the first use of the Premier League's new goal decision system (GDS) when a 52nd-minute effort from Villa midfielder Fabian Delph struck the inside of the right-hand post and rolled across the line.

"I didn't like his performance, but more than his performance I didn't like his spirit of how he refereed the game," Wenger said of Taylor.

"I didn't like the fact the way the game was refereed and this is a deeper question that just one decision.

"I don't like to lie, I didn't like what he did.

 

 

"The linesman said he to me he did not give the penalty and he was at the level of the tackle, so why does the referee who did not give the penalty straight away suddenly give the penalty? That is what is amazing to me.

 

 

"I would understand if the linesman said it was a penalty, but you have to live with that and just because you get these decisions given against you that doesn't mean you should go on to lose the game."

 

The Arsenal manager added: "Not only did we lose the game, we had many kicks, many injuries. We have some problems for some people to recover for Wednesday night."

 

The pressures getting to Wenger the media have been waiting for us to finally turn on Wenger so they can sell papers and now its finally happening they smell blood.

 

Its bullshit though you can't be one of the highest paid manager in the world and then talk about not being able to find better players. Guy will be forced to spend but it will still leave me with doubts about him as a manager now these signings will be reactive not proactive. If he doesn't strengthen properly and if we don't get top 4 I can't see him being our manager next season. He's pissing away our legacy.

Hes a smart man though

 

Surely he could have the foresight so anticipate such an outcome?

 

Cause and effect, on the most basic level

 

You really want to come across as Mr Logical in all this but the point is everything that has happened so far is so illogical, stop trying to rationalise Wenger's irrationality.
