Wenger will realise he has got this wrong some time around 2046. Then he will make sweeping changes.
I don't blame Flamini either.

And we're not trying to be Barcelona. We're not trying to be anything. There's no shape, no ideas, no cohesion, nothing. Potentially excellent players are being wasted and non-performing ones are being rewarded. It's a complete mess. Wengerball is now a bigger myth than Van Gaal's supposed genius.
