We're top by FIVE points already ffs. Give him some street cred.
You misunderstand. Wenger's being accused of gambling with a small squad, not being a shit manager.
Although having said that, I heard a pundit today criticising Sperz by saying that constant rotation denies players getting any proper momentum/fluidity. Maybe this is why Wenger seems to gamble with his squad?

Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Gambling? He's forced to "gamble" with a "small" squad since we have like a gazillion injuries, i dont really understand where you get the small from, i think we have a brilliant squad with good depth, only really needing a back-up striker and maybe another DM
Fabianski
Jenkinson-Mert/Kos-Verm-Nacho
Arteta-Wilshere
Ox-Rosicky-Podolski
New Striker
Would say thats a pretty decent back-up team, most of them could easily be in our starting line-up.
We have 'a gazillion' injuries every single year. It can't be luck if it's always happening so you have to take the injury prone players into account when you're building a squad. Players like Diaby, Rosicky, Wilshere and Gibbs should be expected to miss long periods of the season.
I think Wenger did gamble to an extent. He offloaded a lot of deadwood, which was a good thing, but only brought in two players for our first team squad. It was a gamble to go into the season with only Bendtner as Giroud's backup. He had time to get someone else even if it was only a stop gap until January.
I would still say that we have been unlucky with injuries, one season we had all our fullbacks injured at the same time and this season its all our wings that have been injured at the same time.
It wasnt really his plan to take a gamble on bendtner, since he was trying to offload him all summer and at the same time were after some pretty good strikers, but Napoli paying silly money for Higuain, Liverpool smoking to much dope and Chelsea pulling out in the last sec, were few of the reasons why it didnt happend this summer, but atleast he have showed that he knows we need proper cover for Giroud and are willing to spend, and i have no doubt we will see a quality striker comming in, in january or summer.
We're short on real wingers and strikers.
