Talk on twitter that AOC has done his cruciate ligaments
I missed that post before, completely not surprising, thread bare squad, sicknote players, something wrong with our medical staff/overtraining/something. If we have more injuries than any other team basically every season there is something fundamentally wrong and we've known that for years.
Likewise Wenger keeps banging on this "we're ready to spend we just can't find players who are better" rubbish. I believe what he says, I believe HE believes he has top notch players who can't be improved on, that has been his problem for 8 years. He's completely lost touch with his ability to judge a good player from a bad one. He all but forced Pires out of the club at the expense of Hleb, that was the start of it, Denilson who was utter turd had to beg to be allowed to leave after a season in which Wenger was happy starting him ahead of MUCH better players. Ramsey, Diaby, Rosicky, Walcott are not players that can win us titles, Walcott was pathetically weak today once again, zero fight, almost no tracking back, almost no defensive work and almost no offensive work.
Wenger also seems to be saying we got hurt on the field because Swansea were being rough and the ref unfair. AOC got hurt in a tackle he didn't need to make in which both players did an identical slide into the tackle. One player gets a bigger whack and walks away, the other ends up doing his ligaments... why is it always an Arsenal player that limps away from a tackle injured? Sagna hurt himself with a completely stupid attempt to win a header, Gibbs injury was obviously completely accidental. Rosicky can't play a full blooded(or half blooded) game without leaving a pitch with an injury.
THis happens no matter the team, season and usually the player.... when will people correctly place the blame with Wenger's training methods and style. Rosicky, Ramsey, AOC, Walcott are all pretty small players, Mert is lanky rather than strong, Gibbs is a skinny runt, Wilshire is tiny, Diaby is pretty skinny/lanky/gangly and awkward looking and constantly screws up his legs.
Hey Wenger, why not buy a huge hulk of a player or two, guys who won't get injured with every little knock? Luiz got stamped on, walked away, Ivanovic throws himself about, gets knocked about, nothing, Williams smashes into people, nothing, Huth smashes into people all day long, nothing. Gibbs goes into a tackle, misses half a season, stop buying weakling midgets you completely stupid idiot.
