We need a manager who knows what the team needs and what areas of the squad need strengthening.
We haven't replaced Vieira since he left 9 years ago now
We haven't replaced van Persie since he left 2 years ago
We only have 6 defenders. If Chambers gets injured playing at RB this week, we're fucked for CB cover!
Can't see us beating Villa at the weekend
Rather have Cesc in the number 10 than Ozil / JackOriginally Posted by BOBN
So are you saying we need Jose instead?
Cesc would walk into our team at the moment.
And limp out 30 minutes in, probably
1st and 10, Wenger out of the huddle, comes to the line, takes the snap and hands it off to Arteta. Runs for a 2 yard gain. 2nd and 8.
Dortmund showing blitz, Wenger takes the snap. Hands it off to Arteta. No gain, run snuffed out at the line. Brings up 3rd and 8.
Welbeck moves wide, Dortmund CBs deep, Wenger at the line, takes the snap. Hands it off to Arteta who is stopped after a yard gain. 4th and 7 and they'll have to punt.
Kicking unit on, ball is snapped, fake play, hand off to Arteta who runs with it. No gain, they'll turn the ball over.
Defensive team on for Arsenal, all 3 of them.

Yeah thats a different point.
In the summer I was dead against Fabregas because I wanted to give the likes of Ozil and Wilshere a chance.
Well, theyre shyt so I was wrong.
Oxil is the most costly signing of the premier league era. Cost us 42 million, cost us Cesc, cost all runners the title (to Chels)
Also Mertersackers crapness this season makes a mockery of this "cant find a 4th choice defender" nonsense.
Just find the best defender you can find ffs and stop overthinking it.
LOL at defenders who conceded 6 against anybody decent last season being immune from competition.
"We want you but you have no chance of getting past Mert, Kos, and a kid called Chambers"I pray that the club didnt embarrass themselves spouting this nonsense to international class centre backs.
Said in the match thread at best I expected a draw, we got soundly beaten but then Dortmund are a decent team and we generally lose against the better teams.
Whilst we signed some good players in the summer, I don't think the business we did was right in terms of what the team needed, we always seem to be short because we never really bring in the right players. We needed an out and out goalscorer to win us games when things weren't working or take chances when they come, we didn't get one, we needed cover at CB after selling Vermaelen, we didn't sign any, we needed a defensivley minded midfielder to protected the defence, we didn't get one. We watch other clubs go out and sign players in the positions that are needed but every transfer window it's the same for us, random signings that dont on the surface of it appear to solve problems areas in the team.
It's clear the manager lacks certain key aspects of management, the only way to get round those it to have leaders on the pitch to do the job for him, I just don't think we have those.
We're stuck with this for another 3 years, things are predictable with Wenger, you know what you're going to get at the end of the season on the whole.
We simply have to get . . rid of the Manager. Doing anything else now is a waste of time and money.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Was thinking the same thing while watching last night. But the players play like they are in a trance. I doubt they have any leeway to make calls on the pitch. Under normal circumstances that's probably a good thing as all sorts of disputes and confusion could arise. But when the manager is tactically clueless then as a last resort the captain's job should be to react and fix the problems. Such as leaving Ozil to cover the fullback, anyone can see that's not a good idea. We need somebody to grab Ozil and say, you, get in behind the striker. And then grab Ramsey and push him wide as cover. But whoever that player is might as well finish by sticking two fingers up at Wenger on the touchline, because I get the impression a quick exit would follow. Wenger has already shown he doesn't place any stock in the captain's role, he throws the title around as a bribe. It's a shame Vieira went to the gypos. I think he might have had the character to stand up to Wenger and at least give him a good argument....the only way to get round those it to have leaders on the pitch to do the job for him, I just don't think we have those.
