...the only way to get round those it to have leaders on the pitch to do the job for him, I just don't think we have those.
Was thinking the same thing while watching last night. But the players play like they are in a trance. I doubt they have any leeway to make calls on the pitch. Under normal circumstances that's probably a good thing as all sorts of disputes and confusion could arise. But when the manager is tactically clueless then as a last resort the captain's job should be to react and fix the problems. Such as leaving Ozil to cover the fullback, anyone can see that's not a good idea. We need somebody to grab Ozil and say, you, get in behind the striker. And then grab Ramsey and push him wide as cover. But whoever that player is might as well finish by sticking two fingers up at Wenger on the touchline, because I get the impression a quick exit would follow. Wenger has already shown he doesn't place any stock in the captain's role, he throws the title around as a bribe. It's a shame Vieira went to the gypos. I think he might have had the character to stand up to Wenger and at least give him a good argument.
