The Inquest Begins.


As the case is, to find out what Le Boss really says, do not catch it on the BBC or SkySports, instead turn to the French Media. Speaking to French Media, the Arsenal chief confessed "This is my biggest disappointment. Fans were expecting a great evening ... And to disappoint them like that, it's a huge disappointment. "....."I have to take a step back and review the situation. In recent months we were making good progress. But we are failing to win the matches that really matter. This calls for reflection. "

Upon speaking to one Arsenal squad member who also played, he opined ,"I was very surprised that the leaders of the team gave up so easily, we have 60 000 fans who have come to see Arsenal fight for 90mins, and if we are to lose, let us lose with them in mind."

Two conclusions from this, the Arsenal manager has realised that this is the last straw, and the frustations of the fans will be intensified more next season unless significant changes are made. He also realises that this team has shown it is not equipped to win trophies, in the big matches, the team constantly loses, think of the title run in last year where his side threw the matches against Chelsea and Man Utd, and also threw away the match against Liverpool in the Champions League.

The second is one player has realised he has to break ranks and take leadership in this side, such a defeat will increase this players stock with the fans, whilst some other senior members must take a good long look at themselves in the role of this crushing defeat.
