He literally had no excuses this summer not to strenghten the necessary problem positions. At the very least he should be making the requisite tactical changes to address the deficiences. The collapse like last night was all too common, wenger builds team that collapse like this. I dont even think he should be given time, things are not going to change with him in charge, his approach is too flawed.
I still can't understand why he's not playing Chambers at CB and giving Bellerin a run at RB or at least Coquelin or Flamini if he wants some sort of experience there. At least they've actually played in the position.

Monreal doesn't even have the stature to play CB and has never played there before joining us. It makes no sense but it's the type of thing he does all the time.
