This is exactly the type of match that shows why Wenger is not a good manager these days. It's easy to look good when you're 3-0 up against a dreadful Wolves side, but when you're losing against a determined side, and the 11 on the pitch are not doing it, that's when you earn your money. What does Wenger decide to do? Brings on an off-form Gervinho and plays Oxlade as a defensive midfielder
I always maintained that we hadn't "turned the corner" and a relapse was always possible. We constantly seem to screw up against sides we "expect" to beat, which suggests the players do not have the ability to perform consistently and the manager CANNOT instill in them a sense of professionalism so that we take every game seriously.
How often have you heard someone like Walcott say in the media that "Oh, we underestimated QPR" or that "we weren't focused enough against Wigan" This is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Fergie would never allow players to coast through games like this. They'd be out of the door immediately. Wenger, on the other hand, perseveres with these useless twats despite them showing the world they're nowhere near as good as they think they are.
