The whole set up stinks. It's tired. It lack imagination. It lacks spark. It lacks hard work. It lacks quality. Makes you wonder why the manager thinks it has spirit, desire and quality.

I've been one of Wengers biggest supporters over the years, at times defending the indefensible. But I want him to leave now. I don't think he has it in him to turn the club around again, regardless of any new signings that are made. It's not going to happen anytime soon though, which I fear will make the split more acrimonious than it should be. Sad really.
Yep. Same. I will always be thankful, but right now, he's driving a wedge between the club and its fans.
This crusade has gone on long enough, and it is now laughable. I always thought he could turn it around, but for whatever reason (stubborness, money, board, inability to adapt, etc etc...so many ways you can look at it) I don't believe he is capable of doing the job froma football point of view. He's a clever man, but his obsession is turning everything sour.
Gutted, tbf.
Slightly off topic but I find it very strange that Rosicky isn't being given any game time. He was great last season and looked pretty good against Olympiakos earlier on in the season, he's not been given a single minute since.
Look I know the likes of "Ramsey" and "Coquelin" are Wengers's priorities/projects at the moment but it does baffle me that Rosicky gets no game time.
As mentioned earlier by another poster, he turned our season around last year. But had Ramsey not been injured, it's very likely he'd have stayed on the bench like we're seeing now. Maybe Wenger is being cautious but yesterday was the sort of game he should have started. We've had a pile up of fixtures and Cazorla and Arteta look like they need a rest. Wilshere has only just got back from injury after a year out. Wenger has to use his resources better.Quote:

Maybe it's just part and parcel of being a forward, you're somewhat reliant on your teammates and you generally touch the ball less and lose possession more. If you don't score or assist you can end up looking ineffectual.
If Theo is going to stay and play CF, he needs to learn how to come short and link play when required. Clever teams will sit on Cazorla and starve him of supply.
Just remember who our manager is..Quote:
