Our defending
Für eure Sicherheit
The players are no longer playing for Wenger anymore. I said this beginning of this year and I was heavily slated by some other fans!
You can clearly see wenger has lost the dressing room and players are revolting against him but the French frog is too stubborn to see that he is no longer in charge!
Just like Chelsea players did against Mourinho last season.
Finishing outside any European football and below spurs will be the best thing to happen to Arsenal in decades! !
Wenger goes and the same dead players will start to put in extra shift game in game out! Look at what happened to Leicester

The crueller it is, the sooner it will be over.
Copy paste from usual fuck up at usual time of the year
Bit unfair. I think we have made a lot of progress towards mid table mediocrity this season.

At the time I thought Henry was being a bit of a dick saying he'd never seen anything like this before. But the more I look at it the more I think he might be right. Is this the worst defending in the history of football? It has to be close. It's certainly not a man marking system. It's not a zonal system either unless it's a system with one zone which would be ludicrous. So what sort of a defensive system is this?Our defending
Look at Kos and Mustafi. What on earth? They are standing next to each other watching the play. These are our "leaders" in a defensive situation like this. Rancid.
What could Bellerin possibly be doing standing there? He's defending empty space or, if he's supposed to be defending the post look how far he's out of position.
Look at the Brom player standing near the spot, unmarked, waiting for rebounds.
Where is our interference guy protecting the keeper from the attentions of the opponent who is obviously deliberately there to obstruct him?
And we have zero defenders in the air as that ball comes in. Every last one of them is planted on the ground. One of them, Bellerin, appears to be in motion. The others are static.
How have we managed to get to this point? It has to be the most extreme case of neglect by the manager and the coaches. And what really goes on on the training ground? Because even if the manager and coaches are shite, don't these world cup players not have enough sense to organise themselves better than this? It's almost as if they have been hypnotised into forgetting everything then have learned (elsewhere of course) about defending.
Whoever is responsible for defensive coaching needs to go. Immediately. This is outrageous. You can't win football matches at this level when to defend like that. School kids don't defend like that. Who is going to take responsibility for this and who, after all this time, is going to actually fucking do something to fix this?
It can't go on, can it? Wenger must be completely incompetent if he can't see this needs to be fixed immediately, before we next step foot on a pitch. If we play like this against the gypos, it doesn't bear thinking.

I don't think they can possibly be coached to play like that.
It can only be that they've just given up.
Chelsea showed last year how much difference it makes if the players are behind a manager.
Leicester have shown the same this year.
As much as Wenger needs to go, the players can all collectively f*** off too, giving up like that isn't acceptable
This team have checked out, mentally they appear shot. At least with the weaker teams we've had in the past there was some kind of fight even if it was only for the top 4 trophy, with this lot I don't know where our next win is coming from.
This whole situation is a mess.
I find it hard to believe this lot aren't playing for Wenger but that picture is hard to explain. Henry wasn't exaggerating. How is it possible in a zonal marking system for everyone to leave the back post and not jump? It's a shambles. I think they've lost faith in the system and picking up on what Wenger and Ox said about their training sessions, I don't think the team prepared for the set pieces. Ox said they were told about them being dangerous on set pieces and how their danger men were but I don't think any extra work went into stopping them. Wenger mentioned we practiced on set pieces are 'normal'. So that's not extra work being done. Need to check more interviews and rewatch what he said but he's definitely lost the team. Didn't Theo come out and say the team need to stop fighting each other? And what was DT saying about Theo's bust up with that Boro coach guy?
