FMR Not Happy

Gooners looked easily capable of winning this game. Gooners seemed to make a point of playing the weakest side they dared, with Wellington as sub over the impressive Overmars FMR was obviously not playing for points. Cesc was injured in the second half, FMR decided to send Wellington out as Nasri and Arshavin are struggling for enough games without the extra burden of playing Silva.

When asked about the incident FMR said:
"I was only concerned with Cesc , Cesc injury is a bad one and he is a very important player to the club both on the field an financially. The way we use our players here means DV is very stable but the 14 he holds now... may not be enough to see him gain the levels we require after next games drop. The window is also closing and we are certainly not happy with the situation we find ourselves in.. all we can do is work hard with the lad to try and recover the lost form.

Many will ask why I sent Wellington out when we were easily beating Charming... as I have said already second or nineth is neither here or there to me. We need to develop these players to their maximum levels. Wellington needs to be above 17DV and Nasri and Arshavin must hit similar levels finding space in the lineup for all three is hard and regardless of the score line it was the correct decision. Wellington is now on 16 DV and if he can find the skill we know he is capable of he will add options during the off season.

We knew someone would be injured as everytime we have faced Greatness somebody key to us becomes injured in the game before... I find this a bit of a joke and for this reason... I can only hope they are relegated this season. We are fed up of having players injured to recover well and then injured again later in the season! Aside from that.. I can only hope any team that plays bruise is also relegated and I am sure they will come out playing like so on Tuesday and probably make the situation with injuries twice as bad! There is no place for bruise in top flight football... each manager should be capable of winning through his experience rather than trying his luck.

Aside from Cesc everything else is currently on course and we knew at this stage of the season wins would be hard to come by as we play the younger lads... they have stable DV after training well and resting long periods... if we can grab the odd point here and there il be more than happy. A win against Greatness is not expected although ... as always I expect the lads to play well!"
