Mate you can blame the players of course, but it is the manager who prepares them and sends them out.
Why was our midfield so unbalanced....why were Sagna and Gibbs playing like wingbacks without someone dropping deep to act as the fifth defender?
You only have to look at Utd this season to see how important the manager is....they went from champions to fighting for 5/6....i dont like Ferguson much but applaud his ability to motivate his team and have them battling.
We have had a raft of different players in the bigger games, and look at the results....there is only one common denominator and that is Wenger.
