After last night once again proving that Wenger's tactics simply do not work in away games - take a look at our away record and how many goals we have conceded, it's shocking - what exactly should we be doing in away games? Well I have said several times that we shoudl set up to defend and counter, but what do others think? My team (assuming all fit) for away games would be: ---------------------Szczesny Sagna-----Koscielny------Mertesacker-------Santos -------------Vermaelen-----Song OXO ------------Wilshere -------------Gervinho ---------------------RVP TV as a man marker Song stays back Full backs stay back except on obvious breaks - but TV and Song hold at all times.
Take a look at our record Piskie. Conceded 26 in 13 games away - won 5, drwan 2 lost 6 Add in Europe - smashed by Olympiacos, smashed by Milan. We are appalling away from home. Are you saying you would not change the approach to away games?
Our problem is the same problem we have always had, we give teams too much time and space and we make too many defensive mistakes. It will not change while our club strategy remains as it is. For years we have been like this, its no different this season. Arsenal do not know how to shut up shop. What was Allegri's move to nullify us bringing on OXO ? He took off an AM and brought on Ambrosini and they were bloody 4-0 up
