Sorry mate but that's outdated bollocks. May have been true a few years ago but not of last season. We pressed harder and more successfully in more games than any other team in the league. We may have lacked leadership or *character*, but the problems you talk about just aren't backed up by any facts.
other than the complete and utter collapse at the end of the season you mean? The 43% of goals from set pieces and the ever present "defensive howler"?

Set pieces, Denilson, Eboue, Squillaci, balls over the top and freekicks/Penalties are we shipped the most number of goals in the league last season. Yes, defensive organisation and drilling will help things, but the gulf between even Squillaci and Vermellaen is huge and more than ever I actually believe it has more to do with the individuals (physical attributes, temperament) than anything Wenger is or isn't doing.
dont understand this at all? Are you saying that its due to us having shit defenders rather than a shit defence? If so i completely, 100%, without any shadow of a doubt, disagree. You bought a manager with a more defensive mind in here and they would have this lot looking like the fuckin roman empire's front phalanx. They would heading jumbo jets away if they came near our goal.

Look at Fulhams defence under Roy Hodgson? Anyone who can make Paul Konchesky and Aaron Hughes look good could piss it with our team.
