Wenger was on crack eh? Very funny. It's amazing how many fans think that just because they can lead a team to victory in Football Manager (albeit with much cheating and re-loading of lost games) they are suddenly authorities on the real game. They are suddenly master-strategists and tacticians, and are always able to put their strongest teams on the pitch. Everyone knows that in Football Manager you can have 50 first team players, and keeping them all happy will be your major headache. However, in football management this is not always the case. No one knows what goes on in the mind of the manger before a game.
For instance, Reyes has himself often said that he enjoys playing upfront. So, Wenger continues to play him there is to give him time to fully acclamatise to the position. It was the same with Henry. In case all these persons with 512KB memories have forgotten, Wenger had to give Henry time to adjust to being played as a striker. He didn't turn into the terrorist he is today overnight.
Robin van Persie has shown that he's much better coming off the bench. He started the match against Sparta Prague and was largely anonymous, so Wenger probably decided that Robin would come on later and act as a super-sub.
Against Ajax in the Champions League, Flamini was brilliant. He's a very energetic player who never stops running. Wenger was counting on using that energy to stifle the Sp*rs midfield. That the lad had an off day was not Wenger's fault.
Fabregas has had some decent games in which he's played as an MR. Agreed, his natural position is as a CM, but Wenger had to shuffle his pack. Ljunberg was just returning from an injury, and was in need of a run-out, with the Champions League looming. He got one.
As for Pires scoring 8 goals in 10 games against Sp*rs, who says such a run goes on forever?
I hate reading this sort of rubbish. If you don't trust the manager anymore, find another club. Name another manager who could have done all that Wenger has done on the same budget. I will support Wenger's decisions until he's declared clinically insane.
