‘I’m really disappointed’
Thomas Vermaelen is as frustrated as anyone in the Arsenal camp at the moment.
The Belgian defender and his colleagues failed miserably once again as Schalke 04 managed to inflict a 2-0 defeat on them on Wednesday night.
That loss, coupled with the horror show at Norwich on Saturday has revived the doom and gloom surrounding the Emirates Stadium going into this weekend’s Premier League clash with Queens Park Rangers.
And one man who has held his hands up and admitted the set-back that the last five days have offered is the Arsenal skipper.
“I’m really disappointed. We lost on Saturday [to Norwich] and we wanted to do better here. It was the same story as Saturday – we didn’t create enough chances” he said.
“We gave 100% but it was a bit difficult. We didn’t create enough chances and we conceded two. These moments are difficult but you have to work hard.”
Following the crushing night at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal’s assistant manger Steve Bould, in the hot-seat for the suspended Arsene Wenger, expressed his own disappointment, citing that the Gunners had lost their best touch ever since returning from duty with their countries last week.
“We haven’t looked our best since the international break. We looked like we’re lacking a bit of confidence. If we escaped with a 0-0 draw we would have been delighted. Bould said. “We’re not making many chances and that’s a concern. It looks like we’re lacking confidence on the ball and that’s unusual. We looked a bit tired and jaded.”
Santos is a joke, the GK is a joke, playing ramsey right wing is another joke as he practically support zero to any attack from this position (has the Genius guy forgot last year match when Ramsey played on the left wing??) and lastly Gervinho is the greatest joker of all. Oooh, how I hate these guys…
Lack confidence!! They’re playing for one of the biggest clubs in England and Europe what more do you need to give you confidence.Perhaps the problem is they’re just not good enough to play for the Arsenal.Then again you get what spend.Walmart!!!!
What you buy is what you get!
That’s what you get when you buy a mediocre players… Who else deserves to wear the Arsenal shirt apart from JW, lego hair arteta, santi, BFG, kos and sagner… Even vermalaen is now very poor and shitty!
The match (loss) = really think that the Schalke players want the ball to go to arsenal players especially ramsey and gervinho coz they know their goal will be safe if these two get the ball. Nothing good will ever happen when gervinho gets the ball. He even disgraced the club by diving.
Hope for the season = hope that we get knocked off every cup competition early and just have the league to play, and, hope that we lose as much as we can, if possible lose consecutively with a couple of draws and then lose again. Hope we end up in the bottom half but not relegated, just above the relegation zone from 15th to 17th place should be fine. The reason for this is, if what i hope for doesnt happen, the club, kroenke, gazidis, the players & especially wenger will just put positive words together season after season as though we are truly at the same level as the invincibles and not realizing we are hopeless. Once all that i hope for happens, MAYBE, we can start fresh by bringing new owners/managers/players to challenge for the title again as we should do every season. If it doesnt happen, the possibility for our club to improve is zero. Honestly, for me, every season i’m just hoping for any unbeaten team in the league to lose so that our record of the invincibles remain ours alone. Regarding the team, i just know they’ll fall way short of expectations no matter the personnel. Eventhough i feel this way, i’ll still say, COYG!!!!!
