A lot of things have been said concerning Arsenal boss but nothing has been done so far. Wenger has been criticized by several people including Arsenal fans because of his policies on transfer market. I would like to say these people who criticizes Wenger, does not understand him what he really wants. I think if we could have remembered what Wenger has contributed to Arsenal club, we could have avoided these criticisms.
When he arrived at Arsenal, the club played 49, Won 36, Drawn 13, and Lost None. The Arsenal squad which set a new unbeaten league record between May 2003 and October 2004 will live long in the memory and forever in the history books. Wenger has shown how football can and should be played. His teams may not win every trophy but they are thrilling and entertaining to watch. By that time, Wenger has the same policies which people argue against him.
I remember on 29th Mach early this year Clichy said on daily mail: ‘We understand the frustration of the fans and it’s their right to express themselves. You have to support your team, but when you’re not happy with the
result, like the players are not happy, you try to express yourself.
‘I won’t say I totally agree with them, but when you’re a club like Arsenal, you want to win trophies and be the best.
'When the results aren’t what you want, of course the frustration is there.
‘When you don’t get results, it’s always the manager who gets criticism. It’s also the players on the pitch who are a big part of it.
“We’re going to try to win something for him and the fans. Arsenal are who we are, thanks in a big part to the boss. People tend to forget a little.
‘Today we are fifth and it’s not good enough for a club like us. So people talk about him but we have to realize he’s an amazing coach. The main thing for Arsenal is to have someone like Arsene Wenger as a manager.
‘You can play well without your best player but the club cannot have success with many different coaches.
‘When you see a club like Chelsea, who change managers - have a few in a year — it’s difficult.’
This totally shows that even his players like Clichy knows how it pains when Arsenal lose. What we have to know is that every club in England has its own moment. Arsenal had unforgettable moment in 2003/2004 season.
At the club’s history, Wenger with his squad started the 2003/04 campaign in style with four straight wins but almost came unstuck at Old Trafford in game No 8 of their run. Ruud van Nistelrooy's late penalty cannoned off the crossbar and Arsenal escaped with a 0-0 draw. It was the closest shave of the entire 49-game sequence.
For the most part Arsenal brushed aside all-comers home and away. There were memorable wins at Elland Road, Stamford Bridge and Anfield, plus some great goals along the way. Robert Pires' winner at Liverpool in October 2003 was one of the best, while Thierry Henry produced classic after classic.
Arsène Wenger had built a team to compare with any side in Europe. With Sol Campbell and Kolo Toure at the back, Patrick Vieira and Pires in midfield and Henry partnering Dennis Bergkamp up front, Arsenal had too much steel and too much style for their Premiership rivals.
By that time, you will see that the manager was still using his own policies of which he applies now. It is just that Arsenal is unlucky for these four seasons. Let’s believe in Wenger, he will surely take Arsenal back in good memories but not criticize him everyday and every minute.
I will welcome criticism when Arsenal will have a free-season injury, but with the current situation, I think there is no room for criticisms for Arsene Wenger.
