    No, its because of the manager. He cannot rally his players even if his life depended on it. And on top of it, we do not have a captain on/off the pitch who can do it either.

    Wenger's successful sides had a strong captain, Adams then Vieira. We've not had one since. No way are we slipping from 3-0 up vs Anderlecht to draw with a proper captain. There's no-one out there rallying them when things start going wrong. I don't see that as the manager's role, that's where a strong captain steps in but we don't have one.

    Sorry, I really should spell things out for the hard of thinking...
    It is not Wenger's job to gee the players up while they're out on the pitch, IMO that's the captain's job.
    But, of course, it's Wenger's job to make sure we have a captain who can do that.

    If you think one player will sort out our problems, you're a bigger idiot than I thought you were.

    I loved it when I first heard it but then it got a bit monotonous on repeat listening. Ultimately there's not enough depth in there for me. Then again, I've been a bit spoiled since I discovered this. I rate this as probably the best sound effects video of modern time, possibly of all time.

    I don't think it's actually possible for you to be a bigger idiot than I think you are
    And once again, Stupidus Maximus, you resort to lying about other people's opinions because you're too dense to understand them.
    Obviously it wouldn't sort out all our problems but a strong captain would obviously help. We haven't had one since Vieira.

    Don't try that bullshit with me.

    A strong captain apparently prevents us from shipping goals, from having no tactics, from defensive fuck ups. You are a tool.

    The manager brought in the players who are not good leaders OR did the players decide to become captains themselves? Wasnt it the manager who shipped our experienced players by the dozens when we went on a toddler shopping spree? Anyone above 30 got the boot when you needed their experience to win things. The manager knows that if he brings in a strong winning personality captain within his ranks, he will have conflicts with his tippy tappy philosophy, so he brings in as many 'Yes' men as possible.

    He has 'yes' men around him everywhere- in the board (if he has no ideas, we shut up) and beside him as coach. Zero accountability!
