A weak of highs and lows

First of all i would like to appologise for not writing since the Carling Cup, but the performance following, vs Hull, was heartbreaking, it was the worst performance in a long time and Arsenal lacked desire. Hull didnt.

After the Hull match our Gunners thrashed Porto with a stunning 4-0 win, and could have scoredmany more. However, the premier league is not looking too bright for Arsenal this year. Last year we Lost 3 matches, and now we have already lost two in 7 games. It was pretty close to being 3 in 7...

Yesterday our Gunners lacked the desire to win yet again, it is obvious that the team needs something, personally I think we need a player who can be gone a whole game and then strike from nowhere. Like Liverpool's unmentioned diving captain.

Anyways, Arsenal dominated possesion as expected, but had about 5 shots on goal. And it took a Sunderland wonder-strike from Leadbetter (having been substituted in that very minute) to wake the team up. I was happy when arsenal scored, but i should have had to be. I should have been cheering for an arsenal win at sunderland. NOT a draw.

Furthermore, although Wenger has shown some brilliant tactics, i feel that the team lacks the person who will take a shot from outside the penalty box, the team tried to pass the ball into the goal, and with 11 Sunderland infront of you, it isn't possible! So Wenger is going to have to pull off another stunning perferomance in two weeks time after the World Cup qualifiers against Moyes' squad to convince the fans once again that his football will win us the Premier League this year, because from where I am standing it doesnt look too bright Mr. Wenger!
