I don't mind him complaining and getting angry with the team. They really should have scored. My one problem is when he believed Tottenham could beat Chelsea?
No offense Tottenham fans, AVB really made the team challenge Chelsea. But in no way could Tottenham beat us. We were more dominant and that's what I believe.
VIA ESPN:
"We gave an easy game away and I am angry," Wenger, who celebrated
his 63rd birthday on Monday, said. "In the end, Norwich gave us a good
lesson, but it is one I would rather not have.
"They wanted the
win more than us, showed more desire and it is hard for me to admit
that. Too many lessons like this and you stand at the end of the season
with too many regrets."
He added: "The gap is very unpleasant. We
had an opportunity that Tottenham could win and we could win, and we
both lost. That of course makes the gap a lot bigger.
"You cannot
say you do not worry about that, but what is more disappointing is that
we could not score. After we went 1-0 down we had the ball for 70
minutes and could not score a goal."
Wenger was asked after the
game whether he could look to sign a striker in the January transfer
window, following a lack of firepower demonstrated against Norwich.
He
said: "I cannot answer that question now. We did not create enough
against Norwich, that is for sure, but we have players coming back and
have to assess how things are progressing in January before making
decisions.
"There are far too many players who are below what is
required in the Premier League, and the players weren't at their best in
terms of their concentration or commitment. We have to face the
reality."
Now, I don't know about you all but I cannot remember the last time Wenger was this open to the press with his criticism. I have to say it is quite refreshing not to hear him deflect public blame with some vaguely worded constructive criticism. He seemed mighty pissed (and rightly so... they were absolute shit). Just wanted to hear your thoughts.
