or perhaps we were where we were purely on the back of Ramseys amazing form.
No. This is what can happen with a team of talented players - who can believe in themselves while the going is good. But with Wenger's system - (a) It needs to work perfectly in order to deliver results. (b) It needs players on top form; no injuries. (c) It needs other teams to give us space to work. Whatever Wenger is trying to do - it is simply not enough to succeed now that the game has moved on.
