If
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had taken former AC Milan defender Taye
Taiwo’s warning before the Champions League San Siro horror on
Wednesday, perhaps the Londoners would have had a better result than the
4-0 bashing.
Taiwo, who joined Queens Park Rangers on loan from
the Milan giants, had given an in-depth analysis of his former team
ahead of Arsenal’s San Siro visit but apparently Wenger did not heed the
warning, leading to the Gunners worst performance in the competition.
Before the game, Taiwo gave a scouting report on Milan in the Daily Mail: “Don’t sit back. Attack Milan in the San Siro. They aren’t used to teams doing it and won’t know how to deal with it.
“Theo Walcott should target Gianluca Zambrotta, he won’t be able to deal with his pace.
“Arsenal’s front three should target Alessandro Nesta
with their pace. He does not like tracking runners and is short of
pace. If Alberto Aquilani plays, Alex Song should get in his face. He
needs time to pick out his potentially deadly passes.
“Laurent Koscielny can’t let Zlatan Ibrahimovic bully him. If he imposes himself, then Arsenal could be in for a long night.”
