    It's not even the players nowadays, it's all down to the shoddy tactics.

    Soton/West Ham have showed if you go to supposedly bigger teams with a game plan and an idea, you can have a good shot at winning

    Wenger hasn't beaten Mourinho in like 14 attempts in a competitive game

    I have to agree with Blink... I can't think of many who would improve our first team. I'd take Coutinho, and possibly Mane, although I don't think the latter is that much of an improvement on what we've got.

    Stones would slot in nicely at CB, he's great on the ball which is perfect for our tactics. Defensively there's a lot of work to do though. We can't afford to babysit him for two or three years while he learns the art of defending.
    Jury's still out on Kane.

    Sturridge is a crock, and we have more than our fair share of those.

    Who else is there?

    Cabaye in place of Ramsay/other CM would probably improve our first team, he is a proper CM not a converted winger/playermaker

    He's a great manager and a fantastic human being.

    7th actually, with 46 points - the previous season they'd got 71.
    They were 33 points off the top, only 15 off the bottom

    So they weren't nearly relegated then, otherwise they would've been just outside the bottom three. And they qualified for Europe. The previous season they finished 19 points off the top, despite finishing second. So highlighting point gaps like that isn't really useful when they are up against a team like Bayern. Who also walloped them 5-1 today.

    Your first post is why your complaints about wumming sound ridiculous.

    Also, remind us, what glory did Wenger cover himself in the season before he came here? Because of course, we were all anticipating big things from the guy given his reputation in the game.

    I didn't say they were nearly relegated. I said he spent most of last season almost getting Dortmund relegated.
    They were in the relegation zone on Valentine's day which is well over half their season, even accounting for their winter break.
    Can you imagine the reaction on here if we had a season like that?

    The season before Wenger came to us? I had to look it up, but Nagoya Grampus finished runners-up in the league, the highest they'd ever been in their history to that point.
