Results went both ways for the Gunners and the Blues in mid-week. When Stamford Bridge seems bringing no luck to Benitezs side, Arsenals confidence ran high, banking on their 5-3 victory last season at Chelseas ground, although Robin Van Persie, the hat-trick hero that afternoon, is no longer at Arsenal.Scoreline may suggest it was a tight contest. Realistically, Arsenal endured a horrible first half, which in a league of this standard, could be very costly. As suggested by Wengers expre sion, it was a Jarrett Stidham Jersey disgusting performance and may have undone the momentum they built upon the victory in FA Cup.Injuries were not helping Arsenal. They were in particular mi sing Mikel Arteta, the conductor in the midfield. Coquelin and Diaby are hardworking midfielders but of no match compared to Hazard, Juan Mata and Oscar. When they are at full strength, Arsenal midfield was comparably sluggish and outpaced.Wengers transfer policy is often the centre of criticism. However, when QPR and Southampton could manage to leave Stamford Bridge with something in hand, the only reason Arsenal could not capitalise on the dipping Chelsea was the absence of tactics. Having recognised Wilsheres strength to Matthew Judon Jersey play behind a striker, Wenger decided to leave midfield in the hands of Coquelin and Diaby. With the latter still yet at his best, Lampard and Mata dominated the match tempo with ease.Wengers tactical stubbornne s allowed the domination to sustain. Pushing James White Jersey Santi Cazorla to the left only limited his strength in penetrating opponents heart of defence. In fact, it was his a sist from the centre midfield which cut the deficit by half. Unfortunately, Wenger has never thought of going for increased flexibility in his formation setting. It is true that the best tactic is to play your best football, but sometimes a plan B for a designated opponent is what you need for three points. On Sunday afternoon, Wenger was doing neither of the two.The crucial What-if factor of the game was Girouds golden chance early in the match. Arsene Wenger has been struggling to find someone to replace Van Persies clinical touch in front of goals. Having spent vast amount of money on Chamakh, Gervinho, Park Chu Young, Podolski and Giroud, should the What-if factor be what if Demba Ba was acquired at 7.5m instead? He tortured Arsenal in his Newcastle Gunner Olszewski Jersey uniform, and he nearly added to their woes shortly after he substituted Fernando Torres.The Invincible Arsenal could be the proudest achievement in Arsene Wengers managerial career. He single-handedly constructed the team and led them to a memorable succe s in 2004. However, since a decade has pa sed, how suitable he still is in managing Arsenal, a team with the ambition of more than just top-four finish and balanced bankbook? Having only Brandon Bolden Jersey got one victory, at home against the ten-men Tottenham, against the current top four of the league, it is questionable the Frenchman is still the one to guide Arsenal to more glorious moments.
