The problem in my mind is that we train these players but they are not coached. they are physically fit but tactically illiterate. There is no discernible strategy in the way we play. What this team longed for after Wenger left was a tactical coach who would force our mentally weak bunch of players to UNlearn everything they had been taught by Wengers dysfunctional methods. We needed a strong manager not a myth with absolutely no track record. I would take Benitez till the end of the season, though my first pick would be Allegri
You know what would happen if we took on a stop-gap manager. He'd get a bump, save us from the drop zone and everyone would be saying his reward is to stay on. Risky strategy that one. Better to dump the deadweight, which is most of our senior squad, and stick AMN in the middle, and build a team around him from the youngsters (including Saka and Tierney)
