Arsenal need more bad losers | Life's A Pitch

Interesting for Charlie. Says much that we are aware of (Arsenal need more grit), but I think the comment about the players being pampered and not being forced to acknowledge mistakes etc is also a flaw in the Wenger philosophy.

Phil Jones is a solid defender and good on the ball, but he isn't what United need. We need someone like Iniesta or like Scholes was a few years ago - always moving into space so a team mate can give him a pass, seeing the game several steps ahead and able to work an opening. Phil Jones isn't going to do that. Fletcher has got the energy and the movement, but his vision is a bit less clear-cut (although he does have his moments) and Anderson is Brazilian, so there is potential for him to be awesome if he gets over his injuries.

But there are the youngsters. Apparently Cleverley did well on loan at Wigan. And Ferguson has been right about introducing youngsters before. I would still like a midfield signing, but we'll see.
