but I've been getting really pissed of with everyone (the media and pundits) blowing smoke up Wengers arse and slagging Rafa at every opportunity so I thought I would bring some stats and opinions to people's attention.
On Sky last night they mentioned that Aliadiere scored 1 league goal in 8 years at Arsenal, 1 goal in 8 bloody years. Mellor managed a better return than that, they also said that of the Arsenal team who reached the Carling Cup semi final 4 years ago none are still with Arsenal, that's right (if it is indeed right) none, nil, zip but Wenger is a genius and amazing at bringing through young players etc..(if you believe the hype)
We had last night Hobbs, Leto, Lucas and El Zhar playing, all brought to the club at different ages by Rafa. Now I only get to watch the reserves on Ltv but it is obvious that the youngsters Rafa has brought in over the last couple of years are an improvement and in the next 2-3 years we should be getting young players regularly breaking into the squad but again the perception given by the media is Rafa buys rubbish and can't bring young players through.
I'll go as far to say that from what I've seen the only young lads with a chance of breaking through are the ones brought in, Spearing won't play 10 games for the 1st team, he gets MOM and raved about because people look at him through scouse tinted glasses which is understandable because we're all desperate for the next Robbie, Carra or Gerrard.
My message in this post is not to believe the constent **** written against Rafa and Liverpool whether it be about his buys, rotation, zonal marking, the academy or whatever.
This isn't a pro Rafa post it's a pro Liverpool post, supporting the club means supporting whoever is in charge at that time and not getting sucked into the crap written against us.
