    As for a quick fix, the only manager I can think of that could stabilize this team and stop us from this freefall immediately is Rafa and its mainly because he knows this league already.

    Another mistake or more dithering could lead to a relegation fight. I really hoped this day would never come.

    We're in real trouble now, we need to get a top manager who has a rigid system like Allegri or Simeone, someone who can implement a bit of discipline and won't accept 2nd rate performances and poor effort.
    While I agree that Wenger had to go 5 years ago at least, we were never this shit under him. We used to beat these teams comfortably at home.

    We have become a mid table team and it’s worrying because we are below Sheffield, Wolves and level on points with Newcastle and only a handful of points ahead of 18th.

    Ljungberg is having a shocker to be honest, just a continuation of what we saw under Emery, can't believe he's still playing Xhaka.

    We need a new manager now, I'd take Allegri or Simeone as well, proper disciplinarians.

    I agree re Rafa. Would be a good appointment and I’m sure he’d swap us for the Chinese league.

    I agree 100% with you..... though I think the cheap andd smart compromise would be recruiting Rafa till the end of the season. Similar to what he did with the chavs that year.

    We we're pretty rubbish to be fair playing boring football, but the league is stronger now with better teams, Wenger was already falling away when we finally sacked him. It all started there, he brought in sub standard players, wasting most of the money we had, allowed our best players to run down their contracts and leave and never ever had a go at his players even when they got thrashed and there were a fair few of those.

    That's where it all started, again though we were too slow to replace Emery, that's sums up this club, lacking ambition and too slow to do anything.

    People going on about Xhaka, what other options do we have? Guendouzi is a headless chicken who has no assists not any defensive nous and his display against Norwich was shocking. We don’t have anyone better than Xhaka and that’s why he plays every time.

    I have said rafa before. He is used to coming into a crisis club. He has won things. He knows the league and more realistic than allegri and simone who would have a much steaper learning curve

    Yes, me too if we can't get Allegri

    Can't believe Freddie just sat on his arse at the end of that game instead of urging them on, total lack of leadership when they needed it
