When the gaffer baffles

In wake of a rather poor performance against one of the bottom teams, the gaffer again gave a very strange post match interview.

I have no doubt that yesterdays performance was a one off and we will bounce back immediately. But i am a little surprised that Wenger chose to give credit to the opposition instead of criticising his players for what was one of the all time worst efforts. Though we were understrength, i still expected the team to fight a little more but we failed to do that.

It is about time that the gaffer criticizes the team openly instead of painting a rosy picture all the time. I am a great admirer of Wenger and I may be over reacting but i get the impression he thinks that the fans are fools. I am sick and tired of "The team has a great potential". He needs to admit that we are over dependent on our one pass game and fail miserably when the game gets physical. He can defend his young team all he wants but records show that we fail against Bolton etc on a regular basis.

Maybe I am over critical of the team because i was overjoyed last week when we thrashed Blackburn and now i am dishing out criticism but i feel that by calling a spade a spade Wenger would actually be doing himself and his young team a huge favour.
