    Simplification? It really isn't.

    He has spent millions over the past 3 or 4 seasons and we have gone backwards!

    We shouldn't even be in this position, he should have built upon a fairly decent squad a few years ago instead of defiantly stating it couldn't be improved....

    The banter era team was far worse.

    And we played better.

    It just points to him losing his grip and lustre over time. 10 years ago he was still seen as one of the leading minds of the game but now he’s been battered from pillar to post and largely viewed as a relic, while all these younger and modern coaches have increased the competition to a point now where he cannot compete. Players respond to good coaching and it’s fairly clear we’re not getting that anymore. Bellerin said as much in that leaked audio clip.

    We now have a generation of footballers who have come through seeing Arsenal consistently fail, the perception of Wenger and the club is completely different to what it was 10 years ago when we were still living off the echoes of the Invincibles. No one wants to play for Arsene Wenger anymore and that’s why results have gradually worsened over time despite the quality of the individual player improving.

    Guardiola is what Wenger was 20 years ago.

    Yep and if he went 15 years without a league title I’m sure no one would be striving to play for him anymore. Well actually, it wouldn’t even get that far because he probably would have done the decent thing and packed it in when he knew he was struggling.

    Wenger will have to be carted out of here in a straitjacket, he won’t let go.

    It's a bit rich the players turning on him when they can't do a job themselves. I know they are directed by the manager, but they could think for themselves once they're on the pitch.

    Yes and no. Football is a team game. You can take responsibility yourself but without a game plan where you know what your team mate will do it’s redundant.

    There are definitely players who cruise and don’t put effort in, but that makes it even worse for the players who do try

    I think a player revolt is needed to help wake the board out of their slumber.

    Sorry it has to come to this but it does feel like the growing noise is for him to be shown the door in the summer.
