It's not a team capable of winning the league just because you say so. And weren't you spitting feathers at the start of that year because Arsène didn't spend money upgrading that squad. And wasn't half the forum calling the centre forward a donkey.
It just suits your narrative to say it was a team capable of winning the league because Arsène upset all his detractors when he came 2nd, so that's all they had left to whack him over the head with, never mind all his injuries, particularly losing his best player in November.
The main problem under Arsène Wenger is some seasons early on our first team looked good and people were very optimistic looking at that first XI only. Once players started getting injuries or we had to handle midweek matches in CL also there was never the squad depth to sustain it all through a long grueling season. I think it has all come to light recently also that that horrific injury to Eduardo and what followed in that match left scars on the club psychologically.
