I've got to agree and say Redknapp's performance was far mote inept than Wenger's, regardless of the scoreline.
Redknapp actually had options to strengthen midfield, but I got the impression he lost the plot over the Modric affair. Playing the guy who is "hanging on", because he is Modric's replacement, erm, next to him in cental midfield was suicidal IMO.
Wenger probably fielded his best team and you could argue it's simply down to him not buying early enough. but I think it has to be remembered Fabragas was a "cert" to leave last year and it never happened.
My team benefitted last week by meeting Arsenal at the right period, but I really don't think the situation is as bad as the general opinion seems to be. I don't want to kick the man when he's down, as I really think they have some real bad luck with regards to injuries/ suspensions. They still played some great football last season and badly missed VP's goals at the start.
The team does need strengthening and needs experienced heads, but it strange when we all want to encourage to teams youth system, but complain when they are given a chance.
The signings of Lehmann and Cambell did baffle me and every manager has to retire somtime but I think it would be a big loss to the game if he went now, which I really could not say the same about Redknapp ( apparently his fantasy football advert is exactly how he operates in real life).
We all love to see our clubs spending big, but at the same time say " the games gone mad". It's only a matter of time before we have another Leeds situation, so maybe he really is the only sane one.
