Why Arsenal WONT win the Champions League...yet

No ways !!! :kader:

Im convinced now that their not going to smell that
Championsleague trophy within the next 3years minimum!!!

Theirs a problem!!!

Iv lookd at it this way, their apporach to the CL matches is
a bit too niave...

In the Premiership; they can get away with with their style of
play, that quick 1-2's in the penalty area, fast movement, pushing up etc...

But in the CL, they come up against teams that are more robust in their
approach ( eg:Pana kept things tight in the penaty area, with lots of defenders
intercepting passes...not allowing them space)

Their needs to be another approach...

They lack a PLAN B & C. I knew that Man U would beat them two weeks ago, because when
it matters, MU have that slight winning edge... after all people forget that ManU
and Chelsea did beat Arsenal last season( albiet in Cup competitions)

Arsenal have got to develop another way of playing, whether its quick counterattack, normal
possesion football,swinging crosses in the 18 area...etc

Also another problem... which I feel ppl havent noticed is that; as great as Henry is..

Arsenal tend to rely too much on him,infact one can say the whole attack is
centred around him.They were realy lucky that he wasnt injured last year
cos the majic comes from him. Whhat would happen if say He was OUT 4 6months?
Who's good enough to take his place

Bergkamp and Iv said this a long time ago, Is a liablity( exp in CL)
He wont fly to the away legs, and he's pushing 35 now... Wiltord who I thoght would
have been a more usefull player(or have been used better) is gone... Kanu ws no real
loss so...But Arsenal need another Good striker. Someone who's just gonna bang goals
in.I know Reyes is a striker or something, but isnt he being used as an attacking
midfielder...


Oh and another thing... I know Wenger is reknown for hisBrilliant bargain buys
on the tranfer. But I mean come on... JENS LEHMAN= CARTHORSE!! Iv always known he ws
supsect ever since he startd playing 4 Arsenal... get someone else FAST!!!

That is all for now ... :mrpimp:

Yep you are right , I also think that they won't win this year, Manchester United will come back like they did before to win the Cup.
 
yeah..... arsenals style is extremely effective in the premier league where henry and co can get behind high defences after a few passes...... but it is much more difficult in europe, deeper more organised defenses and slower tempos make it hard for arsenal :S

Nope. Man Utd are not good enough at the back to win it either.

It's a good point you made about plan B and C. On the other hand it's not as easy to work as a team if you don't have a certain style of play.

The number of strikers doesn't seem that big now that Reyes is playing on the wing quite often and van Persie is not getting much playing time, but I'm not sure we need another striker yet with Bergkamp still playing.

The midfield is the problem for United. As for Arsenal, teams in the Premiership allows them to dictate the pace of the game and virtually just look to defend and hope to catch them on the break. In Europe the teams play alot more tighter to them, not allowing them the space they crave. Henry likes to work his magic by drifting inside from the left wing, something which teams in the Champions Leauge, Manchester United and to a lesser extent Chelsea don't allow him to do.

Arsene needs to develop some new tactics for his Champions League games, or they wont reach anywhere, not that I want them to, mind.;)

They're just Premiership bullies that's all, but they only bully who they can in the Premiership anyway.(H)
