+NassirYT that wasn't cause of his broken foot injury,when he came back he came even stronger than ever,but then he expirienced a hamstring injury which ruined his great form,just like myself :S ruined my career
As sad and tragic as it was that his career told a drastic turn after this injury, I'm happy that he was able to continue playing against all the odds.
2007/8 was going to be our season. After 4 years of rebuilding post-invincibles with a young squad, they were finally coming of age and ready to compete, but the potential was never realised. We should have won the league, and I think we would have, were it not for the injury. That combined with David Dein's departure affected all levels of the club, and had a knock-on effect. Wenger calcified in his tactics and flexibility on the pitch and in the transfer market as well. It's a damn shame, and I can't help but wonder what might have been.
It’s was a common trend whenever teams were facing us, “kick em’ out the park” was their strategy. A guy on stoke’s team back when ramsey got injured, confirmed that the atmosphere in dressing room was unlike anything he had ever seen leading up to the match - the players were extremely enraged and hostile. That’s why I’m glad the english game is changing and dinosaurs like pulis are slowly getting eradicated with their 1850’s style of football, it’s tiring to see a bunch of lumberjacks who can hardly control a ball and only know how to run around for 90 mins like headless chickens and get “stuck in” they don’t belong in football.
@Hankle Sacks Exactly these are type of people that make football seem scary and dangerous and I don’t know why the Football Association do not do anything about it.

It was a long time ago . But I still remember it . That has to be one of the worst tackles I have ever seen . And bear in mind , I am looking at it from a Birmingham perspective . I was at the game in the home section & had a good view of the incident . It make me feel sick when it happened . Dreadful .
He may have retracted his comments but he was right. So many pundits used to ramble on about the only way to stop Arsenal is to kicking Arsenal. It resulted in a series of some of the worst injuries in the clubs history that arguably defined the future on the club.
EDUARDO! great player! ... after this terrible injury... he still had his "killer" goal instinct ... just making these "easy looking" goals... sadly we never seen him again at a great club... one of the most underrated players ...would have been worth it to had played a great league again.
Arsenal had so many technical players and they were good so they were tackled hard by these so called tough English players. Alex Ferguson was intimidating to the whole league hence his players were protected but Wenger’s complaining fell on deaf ears
@@heIIbIazer During Fergie's time at United there was lots and lots of controversial decisions that went United's way which led to them winning a lot. I can also argue that the F.A had it out for Wenger and Arsenal. So people were biased for some teams yet biased against Arsenal.
@@123dan165 in everyone's time there's load of controversial decisions that went everyone's way mate. Every club in every season has bad decisions that went against and for them.
This also brought Croatia team 10 years in a reverse.. With him we should have won Euro 08 + have gone to WC finals earlier + FC Arsenal golden era began to start downfall after this injury + Whole one Croatia generation was affected
This is the worst tackle I have ever seen ever, literally snapped a leg in two Eduardo's career was completely ruined from this and in fact he was lucky to even have one after this, should have been a multiple season ban imo, it's disgusting.
100% premeditated and deliberate. never ever believed that all players do not go to hurt opponents. pre match Birmingham made it clear they wanted to hurt Arsenal
@MrFoofan I agree with you but if that had happened to me or any of my teammates i would be distraught and angry i mean he did not mean it but eduardo would suffer so much pain and anguish. nobody would be happy till someone does something about this lucky hes back up and playin again
@MrFoofan Taylor Claimed He Didnt Mean To Do Edaurdo, Claiming He Was To Quick, Then Why The Hell Did He Fly In With His Stoods Showing, Wenger Was Completey Right, The Shawcross Tackle On Ramsey Was A Genuine Accident, This Wasn't!!!
dude career is much more about the money you earn.. and talking about getting to play more of champions' league, what if he had grown further at arsenal and then moved to a club like barca or rel madrid like those arsenal legends.. he was very young at the time of injury and had a lot in future for him..
We lost the league that day ,to be honest English people are not suited to play football they better stick to rugby or cricket leave football for south European Africans or south American really
Rubbish that tackle ruined his career for both club and country. Croatia with him in attack would have been real contenders for the Brazilian World Cup.
Arsenal has always been hated by officiails the referees have never protected the teams like this injury, Ramsey Wilshere Rosiscky then the biased manner in which the 49 unbeaten run ended at the hands of man U
I like how every anti-Wenger comment is getting voted down... I am a Pompey fan, and this was a horrible incident, but I do think 2 years would be ott. Maybe if they said 6 weeks or something, that would be legitimate
@Vrebips Because Arsenal are always under threat from referees and other teams. I don't know why, its not like we can't stop winning everything yet referees are always bias towards other teams which cost us.
@@feelthabreeze9034 Wenger was mostly professional and icy cool in front of the media. You can tell he was mightily pissed off here and he probably held himself back from saying even worse.
@ mrfoofan ,,,,,,,, come on mate he was trying to hurt him maybe not snap his leg but was still trying to hurt him it just so happen that he broke his leg in doing so!!!!
@1r2a3i4t5t,,, are you dumb this happen in his 1st season at the club and was clearly doing alright, then that happen we will never know now just how great he would have coz that injury was a very very big set back and never really got his form back in time, but have a look at some of the goals he scored in the short time he had there and try tell me that he was not going be a big star for gooners had that injury not happen.
If the tackle was that late, you are either a Sunday league footballer or a maniac who only knows one way to stop arsenal's technical players - to kick them. I'd go with the latter. These kind of players who can't even control a ball & knows only to kick people should be given atleast a 30 game ban when they commit a season ending injury...
Arsene Wenger's attitude was appalling . Everytime one of his own players did something wrong he'd always go... "I didn't see it" Yet when he saw when an opposition player did wrong to his he wanted them to be sacked from football.
You are in idiot ! How many times have you seen Arsenal players make horrendous tackles ? Eduardo, ramsey, diaby have all been at the end of potentially career threatening challenges !
Eduardo probably gets paid more and is given more game time now at Shakhtar than he ever was during his short stint will the Gunners. I would hardly call that a ruined career seeing as he's playing first team football at a top European club which gets further in the Champions league more often that not than Arsenal
His comments here are extremely exaggerated and biased. If it was a Birmingham player who had his leg broken by an Arsenal player i guarantee you we would not be hearing the same kind of response. Yes it was a horrendous challenge but we see those kind of tackles a lot these days, albeit not with the same outcome as Eduardo's, look at McMannaman's more example. He didn't even get booked, let alone sent off.
Stop talking in hypotheticals. All these if, buts and maybes are pointless. It was a Birmingham player that broke Eduardo’s leg, not the other way round.
"More than the season is over" - Wenger was right, Eduardo's career was virtually ruined, he never came back the same
+NassirYT that wasn't cause of his broken foot injury,when he came back he came even stronger than ever,but then he expirienced a hamstring injury which ruined his great form,just like myself :S ruined my career
no, eduardo lost mobilty in his left ankle which was his strong side. Taylor's tackle ruined his career at the top level.
@@olitraiga he was also almost a year without proper training and 2 years without much play time, in his peak age, that would affect any player...
As sad and tragic as it was that his career told a drastic turn after this injury, I'm happy that he was able to continue playing against all the odds.
What he does on the pitch? You play the ball or you don't play the ball.
That's what made Wenger the beloved
This, in so many ways was the catalyst for years to come. This day, something died in Arsenal.
