Actually Arsene was right NOT to play Bellerin!

Wenger proved me wrong! by SW

All of us that love and follow Arsenal, will (at least at times) disagree, and even get irate at our manager and leader Wenger. Like a few others here, I’ve been cursing our defence.

And I’ve been mad that we were playing Monreal in central defence, when we could have played Chambers their, and use the young Bellerin at right back. Bellerin was outstanding in pre-season. But I stand corrected – what can I say, Wenger was right. I finally got my wish, and let’s be honest Bellerin had a shocker against Galatasary. He shows some talent, and I hope he has a bright future, but he lacks experience, a physical presence and defensive positional awareness.

So whilst I will continue to have my views, and no doubt disagree with Wenger at times – it’s also good to remember he knows the players better than anyone! And in this instance at least, he was right.

So perhaps, just perhaps, we should get behind Wenger a little more, pray that we get defensive talents in January, overcome some injuries and be positive about our future. Because with a fully fit team, on form, with Walcott’s speed and goals, OGs hold- up play and goals, Ozils assists, Sanchez’s speed energy and goals, Welbeck’s runs and goals, Ramseys talent, Cazorla’s two-footed dribbling, Koscielny clearances, and Podolski’s bullets we have an excellent team in the making!

Let’s keep the faith!

With just one or two additions, and a fully fit squad playing well, we have everything to look forward to…..

COYG!
