We lost those matches because we looked totally unprepared, totally lacking in discipline and game plan. When you have spaces between these fixtures and you have demonstrated that you have learnt nothing from any of these defeats it's rather troubling.....and whilst senseless abuse is unwarranted...i think the fans have the right to take the manager to task over it...because it appears no-one at the club save Steve Bould is.
And i think the reason Giroud hasn't broken down from an injury is more due to luck rather than judgement (although whether that's good or bad luck depends on how you view him).
We were crap in all 3 matches, no argument, but two of the scorelines were inflated by at least partially artificial circumstances. LOL - the ref was corrupt as hell in the gypo match. Come on. My point some dwell exclusively on that and then concoct huge plot lines that don't tie up with the corresponding evidence from the reverse fixtures. If we are going to say Wenger is entirely incompetent then how are we 4th at all? Shouldn't we be bottom and on our way out? Many of the arguments against him are extreme and not supported by the evidence. The arguments expressed by rational posters I have no problem with at all. No escaping that Liverpool hammering. Wenger has to be criticised for that, of course. As do the players. I'd like to see a strong tactician come in to assist (actually take over) from Wenger in that role. Wenger doing less is not something I don't have any problems with. But the delight I think some would have if he was kicked out the door, that irks me. Not that it will happen, so I don't know why they keep doing everything in their power to belittle the man.
