We finished 5th - 2 points off 3rd - the season after Wenger left. And we got to the Europa Cup Final.
The idea that Wenger left us with a terrible squad is nonsense. The end result of the season after he left was a perfectly reasonable base to build on.
It's all gone to shit since then
Aye, sorry when I meant pretty much all the experienced players, I was talking about the likes of Luiz, Sokratis, Mustafi, Chambers (?), Xhaka, Elneny, Ceballos, Ozil, Lacazette, Guendouzi (?), Torreira & Willian (?)
Question marks behind the players who are 50/50, could be salvaged under a decent coach.

My view is that Arteta's man management and decisions are the reason he needs to go, more than the league position and performances. If it were just the latter, and we could see some kind of a plan and competent analysis of what the team needs, I would back him to stay - mostly because the last thing we need is yet more instability. Our performances have been poor - particularly going forwards, but there have been some fine losing margins too.
But I am totally disillusioned by Arteta's reality over the 'vision' that he set out. This is not Ozil. That ship has long sailed. It's Willian and Xhaka, and his indulgence of shit attitudes and performances from senior players while failing to reward, or try younger, more deserving players. We needed Arsenal to forget any top 4 delusions and go for long term - but what has the manager done to follow a long term plan? For me, Arteta is firmly in Emery territory - he seems to have lost all semblance of a plan.
Arteta either doesn't have the bottle, or the wish/ability to deliver what this team needs - which is a total change in attitude. I despise Willian and Xhaka, but to a lesser extent also Auba and Luiz for playing like indulged prima donnas who get paid to carry the club but go missing when we most need them. At least the likes of Laca and Bellerin try. They are not good enough but talent s not our primary issue IMO. It's culture and attitude and Arteta is indulging this just as much if not more than those before him.
I do have grave doubts about being able to get the manager we need though. Maybe I'll do a new thread on this...
Agree with all of that IBK
