No bullies

Don Howe who coached Arsenal to it’s first double in 1971, and managed the team in the mid eighties has strong views on those who say Arsenal can’t cope with the physical game. "Absolute rubbish". He believes it is wrong to say that, but it is easy for critics to come out with it.
He also believes that Cesc and Flamini are the easy targets for this accusation. But he believes they are gutsy and learning all the time. They both have tempers on them when needed, they won’t be bossed around, and always want the ball.
However he believes the real problem is not enough guidance from the more experienced players – Gilberto is a fine player but he is not a talker. He argues it would help to have someone "in there to point things out to them".
