Something from the FA Cup game - Stoke v Arsenal

As a gooner, I wanted Wenger to have a weak side against Stoke. And I predicted he will as he admire Fregie so much that he can rest his team ahead of the Champions League 1st round.

Defeated may not be any loss, since we have a Villa-ManUtd-Liverpool-Chelsea fixture behind, and a VanPerise-Bendtner-Nasri-Gibbs-Diaby-Merida-Sagna-Djourou-Wilshere injury list (Did I miss anyone?)

I just have a few notes to jot down.

(1) Fabianski will never come out for crosses, and he is never gonna be Arsenal's 1st goalie. When he failed the test against Chelsea last year in FACup, I was still hopeful. But now, sorry.

(2) Traore always trys to play as a winger at the left back position. He is headless at defense. That's why Wenger prefer Gibbs to him even Traore is senior than him.

(3) Vela yet to prove himself after his Carling Cup goals. Maybe he is a second striker rather than a winger. Maybe is the problem of his quality.

(4) Campbell is much better than Silvestre, still. As a cover of the 2 central marvellous defender, Campell is far from enough, judged by today's performance. Silvestre, please get away.

(5) Wenger is so ideal that he wants to beat a premier league side witha C side with Cesc. Coquelin as the right back, Thomas as the Central forward, Eastmond at the defensive midfield. Carling Cup team with Cesc. Rest Cesc if you don't ready to win the match. I was afraid he got injuried in the whole match!

Never trust Arsene's interview

If you keep reading Arsenal's news for more than a year, you will get this rule.

When Wenger is interviewed, he is talking to his players via the media, not to the media and the fans.

There is nothing you can get from his interview. There is no clues whether he buys or not, no real insight or plan in future.

Everything is in his mind as a secret.
