Sad now Sagna?: Boss reveals defender could not explain himself after big error
Bacary Sagna may find it difficult to keep his head up high at the moment.
The defender’s howler on Sunday ensured that Arsenal could only settle for a 1-1 draw after a dominant first-half display against Manchester United.
The Gunners witnessed former striker Robin van Persie dominate the headlines before and after the match, but the penalty-kick which the Dutchman dispatched on Sunday was gifted by a loose pass and then a rush tackle by Sagna who had his head in his hands afterwards.
That was the only shame in a gutsy display from Wenger’s men against the newly crowned champions and despite gaining what could be a useful point on the table, the Arsenal boss admitted that his right-back was at fault.
“No [he didn’t tell me what was going through his mind]. He is very disappointed tonight, he is a boy who gives absolutely everything in every game” Wenger said
“I think he made a bad pass, that can happen, and maybe after he panicked a little bit and maybe wanted to repair too quickly what he did, but he had time to tackle.”
Once an integral part of Arsene Wenger’s side, injuries and below-par shows in recent times have seen a dip in form from Sagna, but before talks of replacing the French defender begin, the Arsenal manager praised Sagna’s usual services.
“He has saved us so many times but that unfortunately happened today.” he added
Sagna will be out of contract next year in the summer of 2014, but the club is yet to offer him an extension to his current deal.
Sagna’s been a liability all season. He should’ve been substituted yesterday with Ramsey dropping into R/B. Jenkinson has been outstanding this season and sagna has been woeful. Wenger’s blind loyalty to a player who is obviously leaving in the summer is ridiculous. Drop him now before any more clangers. From being the best defender at the club he is now unfortunately the worst, most error prone and slowest defender we have. Drop him now!
I wonder who has declined more…Sagna or Vermaelen? It’s a close one
By the way this is a good read from the weekend’s topics http://neutralpitch.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/final-whistle-premier-league-week-35/
At Goodison Park, same story; Early Walcott goal, sloppy pass from Sagna two points dropped. How long till he stops costing us points? If left to me, I’d suggest Rangel as replacement as they are like for like in the age bracket
You are all f****** nuts. You’re so ready to throw Sagna under the bus. You are all pathetic, maybe you’re getting the arsenal you deserve, spoiled w*****s!
i dont see what jack wilshere brings to the team? he can dont score he dont shoot he cant set up a goal. has no real skills hes not fast. like i said hes overhype english kid
Dumb1……I don’t see where you studied English composition.spelling and syntax so I guess you’re an overly hyperbolic arse whose idea of posting on a blog is to write such shite? Back to your closet so you can whack off in the mirror looking at your sister’s picture….
At goodison,at saint mary,now at the emirates..we ended up drawing all three matches,incidentally, walcott score in all of it. Sagna mistakes has cost us 6pts
bad back pass but anyone notice that sagna actually got the ball before bringing rvp down?
Unfortunately the tackle was from behind and also two footed so even if he did touch the ball, the referee was obliged to aware a penalty for the tackle. Had he not scythed RVP down, he would likely have gotten away with the tackle. As a referee myself I was instructed to always award a foul if there was contact sufficient to bring a player down when tackling from behind.
Sagna should leave arsenal
do everyone a favour and leave Arsenal yourself!
Sagna is notin in arsenal nw,,,we need a good rightbak,,,we need to release dis guy for psg,,,dat game really painz me alot,,,we need to sign another 2 not jeckinson we need a stopper..
This has not been Sagna’s banner year for sure but everyone has an off season. My real concern is finding a backup for Jenkinson if Sagna leaves. I am not sure Wenger wants to offer him a two year extension which means that he’ll be looking elsewhere at his age. He is now 30 and we all know Wenger’s habits when it comes to aging players. I’ll bet that Wenger has already made plans for finding that backup for Jenkinson next season, either offering Sagna a one year extension , bringing up a youth or academy player or finding another gem like Sagna on the market.
Tom 1 What a dickhead ,I have never read such shit from someone purporting to be an Arsenal fan.if you think Wilshire is rubbish then Arsenal certainly dont need your support .Go and play with your Playstation and create your own team you should not be allowed out on your own you moron
