He only has himself to blame for persisting with certain players and tactics that have consistently let him down.
You'd think by now the huge amount of pain and humiliation would have affected him but it hasn't.

Well yes, but if they demand to play, then they should at least show effort. Even the worse players in the world show effort. No point saying you want to play then do a santi and be shite all game or Poldi. Which is why i think the media twisted that shite about players demanding to play. Not one looked like they did.
I agree though Playing Gev as a striker, when you have one on the bench was dumb. Though tbf both where bad as each other.
Ramsey was not as bad a gev today tbh. But we all know he is not a starter and we never seem to win when he plays.
Wenger is finished though, tactially inept, showed today.

"I really like Arsenal. Do you really like Arsenal, or only Arsenal with trophies?" - Dennis Bergkamp.
"Which Arsenal do they want back, the one Arsene created?" - Tony Adams.
I know that mate, just trying to say its time to let that part go.
I agree, it's not his fault that gerv can't score from a foot away from goal when given a golden opportunity, but the trouble is, we've seen this happen too many times, over and over again, and ultimately he is the guy who buys these players and persists with them.
Charlie, you don't know who 'demanded' (Wenger only said wanted) to play and who didn't, it could've been Arteta for all we know and he was on the bench.
Regardless, the manager has to extract performances from a team.
If this was a few years ago, then yeh, I would be blaming the players.
Trouble is we've been here all too often, and its got to the point now, where he has lost the team.
They aren't playing together anymore, they just happen to be playing football at the same time as each other.
We have serious problems in the dressing room, Wenger can't fix it and we are witnessing the results.

We've become a 'paying off the debt' club, but when it comes to competitive football we have been a joke for a long time. No tactics, motivation or defensive organisation, the basics that come from the manager and don't expressly need money or signings to instill, as those things will be of limited use if the basics are not there.
