Wenger – Arsenal wanted to show Henry that they could score goals too!
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was pleased to see the Arsenal legend Thierry Henry in the stands watching todays game against Blackburn, and he thinks that his young team just wanted to prove that they could still score goals without him on the pitch!
“Thierry inspired today our goalscoring because they wanted certainly to show Thierry they can score goals and they are good followers of him.” Wenger said.
“It is good to see him back here although I believe he belongs more to Highbury than to Emirates because certainly, coming back to Highbury, would have more memories than here but we are happy to have him with us. He would have scored today certainly.”
He also reiterated that his new system does have the drawback of the possibility of leaking goals through the defence, but if you are scoring more than your opponent it hardly matters!
“When we are confident we have a flow that looks like the goals could come at any moment from anywhere. There are some strengths coming out of this team and we have to add some discipline defensively because we struggled a little bit defensively today. We looked always like we know we will score goals.”
.
“It’s difficult to have so many people going forward and to have everybody straight away defending well. It’s a consequence of our philosophy a little bit.”
If you can score six goals every week it doesn’t really matter about defence, does it?
