The board has to do something now.
Hill-Wood must have watched Wenger’s 700th game.
Danny Fiszman must have watched it. New CEO Gazidis must have watched it.
Arsenal were flattered by a 2-0 defeat at Porto.That shambles was one of the most abject performances in the club’s entire history. Wenger will empty the Emirates with a kids policy that can never deliver trophies against today’s competition. His best players are good but his squad players are not. For two years Alex Song has looked like a player who has wandered in from another sport, perhaps netball or lacrosse.
FC PORTO: Helton, Fucile, Rolando, Bruno Alves, Pedro Emanuel, Lucho Gonzalez (Costa, 77) Fernando, Raul Meireles, Lopez, Hulk (Guarin, 88), Rodriguez (Mariano Gonzalez, 78). Subs not used: Nuno, Stepanov, Lino, Sektioui.
ARSENAL: Almunia, Eboue, Gallas, Silvestre, Djourou, Ramsey (Wilshere, 59), Diaby (Gibbs, 59), Song (Randall, 78), Denilson, Vela, Bendtner. Subs not used: Fabianski, Hoyte, Merida, Simpson.
On Friday morning I’ll sum up where we are.
Yours till then,
M
