Wenger - Arshavin just needs more confidence

Wenger - Arshavin just needs more confidence

Postby Trina » Wed Sep 28, 2011 3:52 pm

Confidence is key to the success of Andrey Arshavin, according to Arsène Wenger.

Arshavin has found himself in and out of the Arsenal first team this season as his manager rotates his strike force.

The Russian hit the winner in the Gunners’ Premier League victory over Swansea two weeks ago and Wenger has backed the diminutive forward to continue in the same vein.

“I think he’s had a good start to the season,” said Wenger. “Gervinho was a little bit in front and he did very well, and he [Arshavin] is a bit in and out. Maybe you will see him tomorrow.

“I rotate more the strikers than anybody else and Andrey, you cannot fault.”

Wenger believes the Russia captain has an unfair reputation in certain quarters and remains adamant his No 23 is a model professional.

“There is a difference between the image that Andrey has and who he is really is,” said the boss. “He is a very conscientious hard-worker in training.

“Sometimes he has an image a little bit of a non-caring person and that is not at all [the case]. He is 100 per cent a professional player.

“I think what he needs more is confidence. He had a difficult end of season last year and I believe since a few weeks now, he is in very good form.”

He is one player who has pleasantly surprised me this season . He has improved both his form and fitness .
He is putting in a decent shift in these days .looks a lot sharper too.

I think he has aged out of that form.

Hes got the confidence just not the ability or pace to do what he wants anymore, tried to knock it past players and was easily beaten to it by the defender.

He is too old to be played where he is, he needs to be played as an SS if we want to get the best out of him again.

f**k confidence, what he needs is to learn how to pass the ball.
Every single attacking move that went through him broke down. f***ing sick of it now.

I'm fine with him in the squad, provides experience off the bench. Not so sure about his passing this season being bad, remember him really helping the offense with his passing so far in the final third.

What???

:dizzy:

Nearly every time he touches the ball he gives it away. His passing has got progressively worse for the last six months.
He just cannot find a player in a red shirt.

Seeing him chasing back and chipping in in defence gives me hope... then he starts a game and I'm reminded that he's a shell of his former self.

He's proved himself to be a very decent impact sub, and that's about all the worth he's shown since his first half season. The impact sub role is working, so I say this is where he needs to stay... if it aint broke, don't fix it.
