7 Reasons Aaron Ramsey's Injury Crippled Arsenal's Season

2. €œYou Can Do Anything... If You Believe.€

I hate watching Arsenal walk onto the pitch at tough away games. It's like watching 11 men being led to the firing squad. Chuck the f*cking lilies on the floor before them and hold your hands over your heart, all fans look away now, your team is about to be ripped apart like 11 teary-eyed puppy dogs getting shut in the kitchen for the rest of the night because they p*ssed on the sofa. €œWe're sorry. Please don't punish us!€ 6-3, 5-1, 6-0, 3-0 away at the other members of the top 5. We even got beat by United away this season, that's how bad we've been! There's simply no belief within that team away from home, no dogged, steely reserve or determination. Going away from home, to a top side, you're going to have to respect their quality, knuckle down and take the chances that come along. Exactly as Chelsea did, away at City where everyone else had been ripped apart. Mourinho's 1-0 victory was perfection. What we saw, earlier in the season, that's been lacking the last few months was a perfect example of belief. During the autumn, we'd go away from home and casually play our natural game, go in 0-0 at half time and KNOW we would eventually score a goal. 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go, we held on. We were dogged and determined, everyone was hailing our new mental strength and toughness. Where did it go? What happened to that resolve? How did it become 1-5 and 0-6? At lot of it has to do with belief. Belief of the players and belief of the fans. What you heard from the Arsenal faithful at Hull yesterday was that belief begin to return. The performance of the players went up because of Aaron (more on that next), the fans reacted with great joy and aplomb. Hull weren't going to score yesterday, it was a question of how many we got. If it takes the presence of Ramsey to inspire our team to such heights again, Wenger must ask the question why. Perhaps there just simply isn't enough leadership in his team.
