arsenal's defence infact is pretty good with Vermaelen&Mertesacker and Gibbs ( who played very well ) and sagna

I don't think it's the names that are the problem, it's the fact that they lack the confidence and ambition and they aren't enjoying their football. They also need to feel part of a team. Just look at City, until this season they were just 11 "world class" players, they were just a bunch of individuals out for themselves and they weren't a team, and so didn't achieve much. Now they're more of a team they're now title contenders.

Liverpool went from finishing 2nd and beating Real Madrid 4-0 (5-0 on AGG) in the Champions League and beating Man U 4-1 at Old Trafford and only losing 2 games in the whole season in 08/09 to begging to finish in a Europa League qualifying place in 09/10 while still keeping near enough the same team. We lost Sami Hyypia and Xabi Alonso which was a blow and Torres became injury prone but we weren't that much different yet we were losing all the time and getting silly draws.

From what I've seen of Arsenal when watching them play they don't look happy. In the Blackburn game I didn't see them fighting for the ball. Even when an unfair decision went against them they didn't really fight for it like other teams would. When Liverpool were everyone's favourite teams to play (due to being easy 3 points) their main problem was their confidence, lack of ambition and not wanting to play.


However their biggest problem of them all is not Wenger or confidence, it's the medical staff. Players seem to be getting injured more easily and are taking some time to get healed when they'd be back playing sooner at other clubs. Another problem may be Wenger losing the dressing room. That happened to Rafa during his last season...and Roy Hodgson never got the dressing room.


Speaking of Hodgson, here's a video from the legendary Darren Farley (really, the man's a genius) and Paul Machin from TheRedmen TV (also funny).

It's about what Liverpool would be like if Hodgson was still manager.
