Arsene knows?

In the recent Arsenal vs Liverpool match last week; Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal handed out a 3 page document to the media summing up his philosophy of the sport. Instead, he could have spent that time looking at the past few matches Arsenal have lost. And within 3 minutes, he would have realized why they are 6 points apart from the current league leaders Chelsea. After the long term injury to Van Persie in early October, they don't have a striker! And you don't win football matches without a quality striker who can hold the ball up in opponent's box. It has been painful to watch all the beautiful passing football break into pieces whenever the ball reached near the opponent's box. Arsenal continued to find it difficult to score goals in the next 3 months. But Mr. Wenger continues to be adamant on his "promoting young kids" philosophy and refused to buy a good striker in the January transfer window. And Manchester united and Chelsea took full advantage of it. Both the teams defeated Arsenal in February leaving a big dent in Arsenal's silverware mission this year. Baring a miracle, Arsenal look for another year without any trophies, which will make it 6 years in a row. Stop living in the glory of the past....Wake up Mr. Wenger!
