The post below were actually written last year, mid-way through the season. Here's my post-mortem of Arsenal's season, with key points that are pretty similar to the post below.
1. If there is any reason why Arsenal cannot win this season, it has to be the defence. I've said it, I'll say it again. Arsenal can't win without a good defence. Its defence is still chaotic and without strong leadership (think Adams and Vieira - no titles ever since then), you get foolish results: Arsenal lead Newcastle 4-0 at HT and drew 4-4 at FT. Arsenal lead Spurs 3-1 and drew 3-3 at FT. Arsenal were looking more likely to score when Birmingham scored the easiest goal of the season to win the Carling cup after a schoolboy defensive mix-up. Arsenal were going to win Liverpool when Eboue gave away a stupid penalty. And the list goes on.
Please get an experienced and proven defender to partner Vermaelen at the centre. The rest are just not good enough.
2. The DM problem is still not resolved which means the back 4 is still poorly protected. No one is a natural ball-winner at Arsenal. We need a Scott Parker.
3. The goalkeeping issue is still an issue. Please get Shay Given. Enough is enough.
4. Who is leaving this time round? I don't know. But 5 years of emptiness can be too much for any players to stomach, even young players.
5. Get a good goalkeeper and central defender, and some star players might stay for another season.
Cheers to all disappointed gooner fans.
