Bendtner confidence off the scale
Nicklas Bendtner: 10 out of 9.

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has scored highly in 'self-perceived competence' after Arsenal's sport psychologist Jacques Crevoisier revealed that the Danish striker's mark was off the scale.

Bendtner has made several comments in the media over the years highlighting his belief in himself and many have suggested that his confidence borders on arrogance. However, Arsenal use psychological tests to determine their players' mental abilities in relation to their footballing abilities and the striker is certainly not lacking in one area.

"One of the categories is called 'self perceived competence,' i.e. how good the player himself thinks he is,'' Crevoisier told Swedish magazine Offside. ''On a scale up to 9, Bendtner got 10! We have never seen that before. Pat Rice [Arsenal's assistant manager] was sitting next to me and couldn't stop laughing.

"When Bendtner misses a chance, he is always genuinely convinced that it wasn't his fault. You might say that's a problem, and to a certain degree it can be. But you can also view it as this guy has a remarkably ability to come back after set-backs."

The test is made-up of 117 questions designed to test players' self-belief, concentration levels and determination and is overseen by Crevoisier, who specialises in working with young French players at France's Clairefontaine academy as well as the Gunners' stars.

lol
i think he got some mental problem related to self confidence.

We lost on mental toughness, which is always the case since this generation of young guns. Maybe can try hiring some spirit healer.

lol liez

hope good things will come with new TS!

Suddenly scared with KD's defensive tactic

ya...it shows 3-2-4-1 when go attack..when defence,chg to 5-4-1

That was the most impressive formation I have seen imo.

Played to the perfection on countering every possible way of Chelsea pushing in for the win.

Fuh, lucky Arsenal don't have to visit Anfield anymore this season

no more mer? i tot we still gotta play them @ emirates? which i even afraid, our home record isn't impressive and what if Liverpool aiming for a point?

I mean we don't have to visit Anfield at the very least.

But of course the tactics could be very much different when they play Arsenal @ Emirates.

we will destroy them at emirates

As long as that stupid diaby isnt playing

agreed. his style of play doesnt suit Arsenal. he likes to hold the ball for too long and lost possession most of the time. its time for him to go

I heard chinese radio sport news (MY FM) about FA will investigate our 4-4 match against Newcastle for possibility of bribery

losing temper is the last thing we need on the pitch. if things doesn't goes well, it is better to offload him elsewhere especially when we have Rambo back and the emergence of Wilshere this season. the team shud get on the winning track back this weekend and lets hope Citeh can beat ManU so we can reduce the gap to 1 point.

wow..... srsly? that's pretty messed up. that's how football should be man, all out attack!

but if they're investigating the referees then go ahead.

wow.seriously?couldn't find any source on the net but if it's true,the one who they should investigate is the referee.look at ivanovic penalty claims last night.if the ref was phil dowd,he'd got the penalty.but marriner didn't give it.

sorry ya, it was MY FM (not 988)


I tried to search for the news but failed too, that's why asking here.
