Beaten by Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup was totally different when Ipswich display their high courage against Arsenal at Portman Road.
With one goal advantage to carry on for the second leg at the Emirates slightly saw Arsenal once again being carried away from their first trophy in this season.
Priskin would be delighted to score again at the Emirates where their frustration in the league competition will give them a big relief if they manage to go for the final.
It is time for Wenger to reconsider, that the actual facts of Nasri, Wilshere, Song and Fabregas combination are truly vital in each games Arsenal had been through.
These 'Four Musketeers' seems to lose their focus when ever each of them is missing on the field. And if Eden Hazard included, we will have 'Five Musketeers' to double our chance to grab the premier league title.
That is why we had seen a big gap in that area to force further our attempt to create effective move for a goal.
Then to bring on Eden Hazard to the Emirates are strongly recommended to strengthen that particular area when comes to the situation we need most to boost for a win.
On his plans for getting a defender in…
I am disappointed by our defeat tonight. It’s very early to say definitely that we will get somebody. What is important for us is that we play now nine games in January and you can have sometimes a game where you are not as sharp as you would like to be. It is important that we focus on our next game.
In our defense situation, I would force Wenger not to say no to recruit another player in order to settle the whole fractures which had been damage for quite sometimes.
Eboue never improved even though he had a big chance to fill the right back while Sagna is under suspension.
After full 90 minutes of two matches, there was still no sign of convincing figure to support Eboue with his performances.
Actually he is one of the reliable player in the squad but his determination to fight in aggressive way turns his physical figure into doubt about his true capability.
Do you think Eboue deserved to be given a third chance of playing against West Ham United?
Might as well to gamble for Ignasi Miquel in the right back would be a bit worth for Wenger, but it does not happen today.
Our title chase are desperately forcing Arsenal to bring on another new players, one central defender and one midfielder.
Furthermore, Wenger need to get rid some of the players, where most of them are deliberately not effective anymore with his kind of new formation restructure and strategies.
Put them on loan if Wenger feels that some of the players still could benefits us in the future.
In both matches of local cup competition, Wenger is trying something new in his head where at the moment we hardly can't see how it works.
Losing the Carling Cup will put Arsenal to the same old story in the previous season.
Wenger recently being awarded as the 'World's Best Manager' award, Arsenal had been recognised as a role model team in Europe but they haven't award us the fans, supporters and especially loyal gooners with a convincing thought that Arsenal will win the silverware in February in this cup competition.
We won't worry much about one goal advantage which Ipswich had secured, but to lose the match worrying most of us.
We are more capable to turn around the result at the Emirates and the confidence is well written on us.
On Ipswich’s long balls…
When you play in one half, the long ball has 50 yards to be dangerous. I felt we got more and more problems as the game went on. We looked in control in the first half but in the second half we looked much more vulnerable defensively, I put that down to fatigue.
With Ipswich tactics adapting a long ball pass, clearly shown our weaknesses in defense and one of those attempt perfectly execute by Priskin.
On how his team defended…
As a team we didn’t have the wanted performance tonight. I would say in every department we were below our usual level. It would be unfair to only put the blame on the defenders tonight because I believe in every single department we were not at our usual level.
We had poor personality at the back where the combination is still far from effective to improve in that area.
On the defensive situation…
We lost the game tonight because we didn’t play as well as we can, that will be the main lesson. At the moment we have only two central defenders, but that doesn’t explain our defending tonight.
Well, so much for what Wenger had said about it all for this match, but regarding Arsenal had only two central defenders available was not quite reflecting his sincere confession about it.
Wenger will add another new central defender and this time he could not afford to denied about it too.
Definitely Nasri was so important to Arsenal now and his reaction upon upcoming match with West Ham were much much more highly required to get us back on our feet.
If Gerard Pique dare to put Messi on our radar for another win against us, then we double it up with Nasri and Fabregas to turn their fate into misery.
If Arsenal need to install turbo power to boost our current performance then Eden Hazard would be fantastic for such great showdown with Barcelona in February.
We lost, with one more chance and Carling Cup haven't lost yet from our sight. Second leg at the Emirates persuades us more with nothing to lose.
Go for it, whether we won or lose it won't matter much since we already let ourselves down for nothing.
