Yes, we are in a middle of a "sea-saw performance world", losing and winning and almost losing, proving that consistency with young stars ain't really easy!
Okay, now you'll throw in the logic of last season! But, last season we had highly experienced Rosicky for the first part of the season, we had Eduardo scoring goals in that same first part, we had a very experienced Brazilian who had captained his national team, Gilberto Silva, we had Alex Hleb, already meshed into the Arsenal side after three seasons and adept at getting past defenders, and of course, we had Mat Flamini, who could run all day, play box-to-box and give Forrest "Hanks" a run for his money!! Add to that mighty experienced Lehmann, though he spent most of the season on the bench.
Now, we have lost all those above players, and we have kids just leaving school and joining Arsenal to compete against the likes of stalwarts like Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Christiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Xabi Alonso! NO kidding!!
I'll make things easier for Wenger by listing down our problem areas in order of importance.
1) First and foremost, we don't have a captain! A person who can lead from the front in all situations, driving the team forward and shouting out instructions whenever needed. Tony did it, Patrick did it, so did Thierry and Gilberto! Now, we have a moron in the middle of our defence who claims to be our captain because he wears the arm-band. Cesc wanted to wear it, but William slapped him, gave him three lollipops along with a Xbox 360. Cesc is quiet to this day! Gallas makes mistakes every match, cries like a Radiohead fan, and jumps in the air as high as the tallest living midget on earth!
Solution: Pass the armband to Kolo.
2) Secondly, we lack a central midfield maestro who sits in front of the Back Four like the Rock of Gibraltar. He tells Cesc..."Go Son, play your football, don't look back, I am here to stop Roonorresogba if he comes to this area of the field". He is like a Xabi Alonso. He is like a Owen Hargraves. He is like a Michael Essien. Tireless! Fearless! Brilliant!
Solution: Develop Alex Song, give him steroids, drugs, develop him fast, before maybe, the next match against Everton! OR, wait and buy a 25+ good CDM in the January transfer window. Spend for Crissakes!
3) We need a lot of width when we are blocked and locked in matches against teams who wants to sit in their half and defend. Like say, Sunderland, Bolton, Blackburn!
We need Nasri and Theo to run across the full backs and send in as many crosses as required. Sagna crosses pretty good but Clichy is pretty awful with crosses. He needs to understand why Evra is preferred over him in the national team.
Solution: Against defensive teams, start with players like Nasri, godammit!
4) We need a clinical finisher, selfish goal-poacher kinda striker. Ada is not, Persie is not! Bendtner is still not. Vela is very good, but still not a finished product.
Solution: Get TH14 back! Okay, am kidding, but get some sound striker or hope for Eduardo be the same guy he was before that dreadful match against Birmingham!
I think that is it! We solve those problems, we win the silverware, pretty simple, aye! :-D
And yes, we LOST AGAINST HULL CITY 1-2
we WON AGAINST FC PORTO 4-0
and WE DREW AGAINST SUNDERLAND 1-1
