Wenger just simply doesn't know how to set up a really tight defence. Never has during his entire Arsenal career. Like most things, he seems to let the players sort it out by themselves which is why I don't get the Merts hate; he, Kos, Sol & Kolo (for a while) have been the few defenders that have actually looked for us.

Tbf I don't really think the likes of Klopp or Pep are better and they similarly try and get away with it by just buying really good or competent defendres. But it's far more justified for them as they put all the energies into coaching a fantastic and fluid attack that can destroy any team in the world.

We at the moment have neither. Clown show as usual at the back and not good enough going forward (despite the current batch of goalfests our attack will struggle against better teams I suspect).
