Well that’s the hope, that the new guy can have a positive effect off the bat.
Just how much damage Wenger has done will be seen in time. United are only now beginning to move on from the lull under Moyes and Van Gaal.

So predictable at the end of last season, where this guy would take us. Thank fuckety fuck he didn't get to see out his contract because one more year and he could have done exponential damage.

I think the difference is them winning the title in Fergie's last season was ridiculous with that squad, they massively over-performed.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
We are massively under-performing with our squad so I don't think it'll take as much to have a positive impact if we get the right manager.
We're like the perfect team for teams that need confidence to play against.
Leicester just thrashed by both Palace & Hammers, players already on their holidays and with murmurings of discontent towards the manager ..... not a problem you've got Arsenal where you can sort things out.
Did our new defender deserve his red?
Close call. Clear foul but Holding may have had it covered as the last man. We’re speculating though, Iheanacho is quick and would have been away.
Sloppy from the Greek kid but he’ll learn. I can say that confidently now knowing he won’t be coached by you know who.
Can anyone explain our away form in comparison to home form?
Not about Wenger, just tactically, mentality-wise?
There is no one reason (unless you badge it all up under “Wenger”).
However, it has been said countless times that we set ourselves up to play the same way every game, no matter the opposition.
Logic dictates that a team coming to to The Emirates will be naturally more protective and will sit back a little more. Most of our concessions at home often come from a counter attack where we lose the ball with players committed and no defensive shape...
When our opposition is on their home turf, they’re naturally more positive, being the home sides perogative. If more teams visiting us (not just the big boys) showed more adventure, they might learn to inflict the same sort of damage at our place....which was the worry sign, because that was the next step in our fall frome grace IMO.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Yes. Agreed. Wenger's next trick would be to plunge us into a relegation battle, as improbable as that sounds. Almost as improbable as us losing every single away game in 2018 so far. Every team would be looking at this tail end of the season and salivating at the thought of getting their teeth into us, home or away. The sad truth is easy to see. When teams give us undue credit and respect, which happens when they visit the Emirates, and they allow us to play our silly Wengerball then we win. But if they put even a hint of pressure on us, we fold.
It's not that the players are terrible cowards or powderpuff weaklings. It's the utter nonsense Wenger is demanding of them. A thousand passes. No shots. Nobody in the box when the cross comes in. No defending. Empty flanks where opponents roam free. The extra sideways pass. The extra touch in the box. A nightmarishly pointless vision of football that literally ends up pointless should our intricate insanity be disrupted in even the slightest manner.
Wenger's teams play good football. If they are allowed to. To this day the change from fast, powerful, direct and technical football to pitter patter football by a thousand passes is killing us. Wenger's biggest and most inexplicable mistake of all. Which is why the mad discrepancy between our home and away form can't possibly be explained without talking about Wenger. It's all about him. Arsene FC.
90 more minutes and that ends. It's a miracle.

I agree with you
