As for players needing no motivation…come on now, they’re footballers, but they’re still human. When you start questioning your own ability or grow disillusioned, you need someone to pull you out of it. It doesn’t matter who you are, how much you earn of what you do.
Wenger believes he shouldn’t have to tell players certain things because it’s football and everyone wants to be a star, but I prefer Fergie and Mourinho’s approach. Wenger has been shitted on so many times by his own players and his approach doesn’t breed loyalty or respect. How can Vieira tap up one of our own players and disrespect the club and fans like this? The same goes for Clichy and Toure.
I just think this softly soft approach is killing us.
Wenger's approach has clearly been successful in the past. He does need some strong leaders out on the pitch though and we've been lacking that.
As we fell apart vs Newcastle and Spurs last year, amongst others, he could only sit and watch. It's the players who have to pull themselves together and stop that sort of thing happening.
I see signs of hope though with players like Chesney, TV5 and Wilshere who could be leaders out there and pick us up when it's starting to go against us.
We have more inexperienced players than players with experience starting in our squad. Also, we hardly have any players that know how to win a league title. We can't expect them to walk before they can actually crawl. it's all well and good saying the players should raise their game, but some just don't the capacity to and when you have a coah that isn't demanding more from them, what do you expect?
