Granted the FA Cup and the Mickey-Mouse Cup are lower priority, winning one of those will help instill more confidence in the young team. Once they had a taste victory, it could motivate them more to work harder for the real trophies that AW so sought after. The existing squad is extremely fragile mentally. A few good games, become complacent. And a few bad ones they crumble.
What I dislike about AW's policy about playing the 2nd-string or reserves in the lesser Cup tournament is that when we reach the quarters or semis, he continues to stubbornly field the same gina-pee. Its like sending them to the slaughter house. Their confidence get crushed, and we go home empty handed, for another season. FFS, when we reach that stage, put in more senior players! We want to see the DESIRE to WIN!

There are many ways to view the situation, but i hope he bring in tough players. Eversince Vieira's "red card fiasco" which competitors keep sour grapes harping about during those winning seasons, i can't believe the team has toned down to a whimper. It was during those aggressive days that they actually won stuff.
They need more steel in team. They need a big character who's more vocal and a leader , rather than one who may be very skillful. Rvp has the aggression, but he doesnt really step up day in day out, plus with injuries, it's difficult. Sol came close, but not a villain enough. Gallas seemed like a villain, trying to 'lead' the team, but lacked respect from the team mates, having more negatives than positives.
No one else comes close in leading the team, the rest are pretty quiet, just like passengers. We need players like Vieira, Tony Adams, Parlour, Keown, Henry, Ian Wright, big personalities who are not afraid to get hands dirty and get the job done, earning the respect through hard work.
Perhaps, with luck, Kosci or Chamakh might just grow into the role with gritty never say die displays. Vermalan looked promising at first, but he's doesnt seem to stand out enough at the moment. Arshavin showed flashes, a little talkative, but not exactly a barnstormer. Wilshere and Rambo is promising, should let them play more, if the seniors cant deliver, its time to blood the youngsters.
we need more bite. :bsmilie:

Sigh, we also lost Frimpong for likely the rest of the season, I thought he was pretty impressive and can be a backup for Song this season.
Looks like we are going to see more of Denilson this season. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!:thumbsd::complain:

Bet on a 2-1 score considering Blackpool's impressive performance last game. Tough luck getting a player sent off, now Arsenal is going to pound them hard.
