Wenger should’ve gone last summer.

 

[Big Poppa]

He is both winger and number 10. And I agree it could have been slightly better but I can forgive him in the sense that he is trying to play smart but he should have been more direct IMO. I would have liked that.

I do get what you're saying however I think we suffer badly as a team from too many wide players not retaining width and drifting around the pitch looking for the ball. Everyone seems to feel like in order to make an impact they need to be on the ball which leaves us with no options off it. It's literally the only reason Walcott is still at this club.

A player with Nelson's skillset imo would be far more devastating playing in the manner of Sane than what he's trying to do now, and it would also make us as a team, a bigger attacking threat by stretching the opposition defence to create space.

The directness will come with confidence and I sincerely hope we've seen the last of him at wing back.

Would love Arteta to get a shot. It would be a nice change to have someone who is actually respected(deservedly) around the league who players will listen to.

You don’t think Wenger is worthy of the respect he still gets?

It would be nice to have a young modern animal in charge.

No, it just means Debuchy, Per, Walcott and Welbeck have made a bulk of those.

Welbeck and Debuchy, mainly elsewhere.

I'd like to see how much the number drops if it's only Arsenal games that count. Howevet, Walcott's apperances for us alone count for almost 300!.

If a pair of boots and a guy named after a sex act say it on twitter, it has to be true.

I agree completely. Just needs more confidence at this level. And more games.

What’s there to be embarrassed about today though? Big team upsets are common in English cup football.

I know nothing of Zidan's coaching methods and don't bother watching La Liga. I imagine his mere presence has some sort of "Space Jam" placebo effect on players.

Zidane's only real asset is that you have to respect what he was as a player. Even an egomaniacal diva like Cristiano has to respect that man's CV. So when you have a bunch of massive personalities it does help to have someone of that stature to keep them in line to an extent. He's being undone because he's not a good enough manager(yet) to overcome what is a truly baffling lack of spending and very little squad depth.

Come on mate you know it's not just about today. You're better than that.

Our FA Cup history is glorious under Wenger. I know we’re in a mess but sometimes you don’t need to over react so much.

 

[Beast Incarnate]

Deary me.....

 

[Hunta]

You can see why Wenger never rotates in the league anyway.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Still gutted. Wenger complained about the schedule and players being on the edge...

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Might ban twitter posts unless there is factual information in them. Randos on the internet spouting baseless opinions is is what this forum is already about, don't need to repurpose someone else's bollocks.

Sad state when posters can't come up with their own garbage.

 

[A Lighter Shade of Blue]

Anyone else think Wenger was unlucky to lose this one? If you compare our performance against Forest and Man City's performance against Burnley you will notice little difference. Well except that Wenger was a bit unlucky at times while Pep wasn't.

Remember luck plays a big part in football!

Had a bit too much to drink?

He is, of course. His achievements prior to 2005 were very great - 3 league titles is a very impressive achievement. The Invincibles stands out by itself because it was so unique, too.

But he is, of course, doing himself harm at this point. He's been here somewhere between 2-8 years too long, depending on who you ask.
