Heard on a podcast or on a video or somewhere yesterday a pundit comment that if Wenger coached a fish the fish would drown. That's true of all the players at the club now, not just Lacazette. I see every player as performing below their potential, because from time to time we see them step it up, we see they can pass a ball, they can cross a ball, they can show a bit of grit in a tackle. But Wenger gas fallen into the happy families style of coaching which has blunted everyone within a mile of the bloke. He should have been a priest, not a football manager. Make that a Jesuit priest, given his cunning and conniving approach to money matters.

I wasn't joking about the film reference either. If Wenger is not clinically an idiot savant then he's rivalling Hoffman in the acting stakes. Stan must see that too. An unrivalled genius when it comes to extracting money from a football club, and a fumbling child who has no capacity to learn, thumps his own head when he doesn't get his own way, has a pathological hatred of change, can't even do up his fucking coat.

Set against this we have to hope Aubameyang is good enough that regardless of how much Wenger tries to fuck him up he can still make a difference on the pitch. The challenge has defeated Lacazette, eventually took the wind out of Alexis' sails and almost broke Ozil. We'll soon see how much character the new guy has, and he'll need as much as he can muster.
