It does annoy me when people go overboard about Wenger and act like he's this imbecile who has no clue what he's doing. He's clearly still a very good manager. But he obviously has his flaws. Tactics is one of them, he's not a manager of Ferguson's calibre who can win a title with a worse squad than his rivals. Our titles back in the day were won because we were better than everyone else. You don't need to be a tactical mastermind when you've got players like Henry and Bergkamp and a spine of Vieira, Campbell and Seaman. We were a fantastic side back then and with the billionaires sticking their beaks in I don't think we'll ever have a squad better than our rivals

IMO our collapse this season has been more a case of running out of steam and not having the depth to cope with injuries than 'bottling it'. We've won enough 'must win' games this year to suggest we can cope with some pressure and we've got to the Cup Final, you don't do that if you can't handle any pressure.

Liverpool have done brilliantly this year but they've not been in Europe this year and they've had one of the best players in world football stay fit all year, one injury to Suarez and they wouldn't be where they are right now and let's see if they sustain it next year with the added pressure of CL football, especially if someone manages to turn Suarez's head in the summer.

The injury problems need looking at, it kills us every year and it can't keep on being bad luck. And we obviously need more up front. The Ozil transfer and the big bid for Suarez last summer did suggest a new ambition and financial clout, continue that this summer and we could go very close next year. If we win the Cup then I think that could be a springboard to greater things, I'm not sure that's a great time to be changing manager. We should start preparing for a post-Wenger Arsenal either way but if he keeps us top 4 again, as it looks like he will, then there's no rush to change managers. Things could be better but, as ManYoo are finding out, they could be a whole lot worse.
