obviously Advocaat isnt too clued up, or he would realise Arshavin was one of the most used Arsenal players last season. In fact he had to be used less as he was knackered!
He also seems confused saying you cant get 90 minutes of running from Andrey, then criticising Wenger for using him as a 20 minute sub! The man is an idiot and an average coach at best.

Don’t think Advokaat is an idiot and he is certainly a better than avarage trainer. Maybe people who take everything for granted what the press says and who have never heard of (deliberately) misquoting are the idiots.

Maybe it’s not reasonable to expect 90 minutes of running from a top player but it is reasonable to expect 90 minutes of involvement in the game. Watch Messi, Xavi and Iniesta and see how they are constantly involved without necessarily chasing box to box all of the time. I’m afraid that Andrei ins’t up to their mark in the passing or retention aspects.

Exactly where is he ‘slamming Arsene Wenger’ in those quotes? Of course it’s not a artificial headline aimed at attracting hits to your site is it?

@Stroller. If Advocaat is not slamming Wenger the Loser, I gladly will :-).
Wenger’s an awful manager, who has fallen off big time. No tactical nous, no bottle in the transfer market and constantly whining.
GET HIM OUT OF OUR CLUB BEFORE HE REDUCES US TO A MID-TABLE TEAM.
WENGER OUT!!! OUT! OUT!!!
