You lot are jokers. Lets get some things right, some Arsenal fans wanted Wenger out after the worst start for 58 years, you lot want Redknapp out cos of a blip When you were going well you had the best squad bar City - now some are saying your squad is not better than Chelsea's who's squad everyone knows is pap Some of your fans were laughing at Arsenal fans - rightly so - we were rubbish and going downwards very quickly, but the way some of you are going on regarding Redknapp is a joke, seriously, he's made you competitive, he's made you CL contenders, he's moved you forwards and you are complaining Some fans you lot are. This is the first season in years I as an Arsenal fan have been genuinely concerned about your team.
I want 'Arry gone because he's going in the summer anyway, primarily. I would and have shown more loyalty to him in poor form when he's shown more loyalty to us. If he'd committed himself to us early on in the speculation rather than flirting with the England job and the press then I'd have same stance as I had last year during the bad slump that cost us a shot at 4th. As it is I find it harder to tolerate the fact that 10 games ago we were on 50 points yet now we are only on 59, I find it harder to tolerate the fact that we have had the same problems with our play since the United game(8 games ago) and I find it harder to tolerate that we went through this last year with player tiredness(which he admits). I'm grateful for everything he's done for us but we'd need a complete turnaround in performances to get 4th this season which I can't see as he's lacked ideas for months now. If he's going to stay then I'll be glad but since he's certain to take the England job, if offered, I don't want our club to twiddle our thumbs while we go downhill only to be left in the lurch next month.
Funny Crouch should be mentioned now. Goes to show how low we all feel. However I said last summer that he was arguably the last of our current strikers who we should have sold (Keane, Defoe and Pav being the others). Fair enough we got good money for him. But to sell two strikers and only loan ONE in is looking very silly in hindsight, especially as we were so lacking in goals the end of last season. We've clearly been very lacking in the striking dept since Berba left. At the time we sold Defoe I'd said that we should bite the hand off of anyone who offered £10m+. Cos he was so far behind Keane and Berba. Now he's our second-choice striker (first if you don't count Ade as he's off after another four games). It's a distinct area where, despite our progress, we have gone backwards in recent years.
I am pig sick with Harry and also all the fans who didn't want to embrace change. I suggested radical changes and got a lot of piss taking from people, maybe they see my point now?
Redknapp made those changes and they've proved to be an awful idea, resulting in our ****e form. Bale playing more centrally, two holding midfielders and van der Vaart playing on the right? Diabolical choices.
I don't understand why he changed a winning formula, why did he feel the need to ? I understand playing your best players every game until they get tired, fine, maybe some squad rotation would've helped but - I get it. But why did he change your tactics which were frankly winning tactics pretty much ??
There seems no real game plan with Redknapp's tactics at the moment . No positional play, everybody all over the place. Fullbacks used as wingers constantly with poor delivery, wingers buzzing all over the place but not doing what their best at. VDV on the right or anywhere he likes. The worse set pieces in the country. Central defenders that are so ropey that any half decent striker looks good. The bad news with club's lack of true investment over recent transfer windows is Defoe could be are main striker next season and maybe a yes man manager. It,s been car crash these two months , like watching Grimsby trying to play Dutch total football.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17802833 Arry sounds like a manager that doesn't understand why his team is losing and is clueless on how to fix it.
It will be the same people who told him "we look better with 4-4-2" whoever these people are, must be whispering in his ear "dont worry arry, you're doing a grand job, just not getting any luck". i would love to meet these "people" !
Agreed. At least we're unlikely to hear him mention the old "2 points from 8 games" boast. How many points have you taken from the last 9, Mr Redknap?
2 from 8 comes back to haunt him. 1 from 9 is the new mantra (so far anyway). His next slap in the face will come when/if he manages England. BUT what will he do if the FA go for someone else like Hogdson a manager of far greater experience IMHO. Burning bridges you have not crossed is never a great idea Harry. I am not laughing at all.
At a guess, he lost his nerve - rather than attack and take risks as we did in the first half of the season to get into position to finish top four, he decided we needed to be conservative to ease to the finish. Somebody clearly forgot to tell him the old adage about players winning you things, not systems.
