Arshavin – Good football is not enough against Chelsea!
The Arsenal and Russia star is sure that Arsene Wenger has made an excellent team, but they are just not tall enough or strong enough to compete with Chelsea, and he wants Wenger to do something about it!
“The fact that we have lost against our direct rivals this season signifies that we are not very good,” he said.
“We are not very good on set pieces because we don’t have many tall players – every other team has an advantage over us in this area.
He admitted that there were areas where Arsenal couldn’t atch Chelsea. “They were much stronger than us when it came to physical power.
“Had we possessed a tall player then things would have been better for us. We had nobody capable of holding on to the ball.
“We played good football against all these top teams but that is not enough.”
“What we can change only Arsene Wenger knows. He has been at the club for 13 years and knows the problems better than anyone.
“All the Arsenal players are behind him – and if he leaves they will all leave. It would be good if the club could sign some great players.
“It is up to the manager whether he will sign a new striker in January – I have my own ideas but I won’t say what they are.”
LOL Andrei, you have already said what they are: Sign some great players!

I love the quotes from Arshavin..
He always states the obvious, I just hope Wenger is taking some notice….
I think the arsenal needs to buy atleast two tall and matured players.
this will not only help to win the premier league but also the champions league.One attacker and one midfielder.
So we dont got enough players. Well wut you gonna do about it pal?
quite a good statement from arshavin. all that he said was true.arsene needs to but at least a much more and tall defensive like pat viera and an attacker
We all seem to be thinking and talking about the same thing that we need some special skill up-front. I hope Wenger will listen and consider our views-Real Gunner!
