It seems like he's getting singled out because characters like yourself jump on to the defence bandwagon and we get these silly exchanges about how he's been 'brilliant' when he hasn't. Flashes of class is different to really having a dominant performance in a massive game.Originally Posted by Letters
The sooner people accept how disappointing he's been, we can move on to other no shows from last night so it doesn't seem like he's getting singled out.
He was the most notable example of the players lacking fight once we went 2 goals down. He was static, wouldn't cover the spaces, lost the ball more times than not. He's a precision piece for a well drilled engine. When the engine is broken he's a useless cog that rattles around breaking other stuff. So it's not as simple as to just say he didn't play well. You have to look at the whole team. No point having marquee players if you can't get the basics right. 11 Cattermoles are better than 11 Ozils if the team can't pass, shoot, tackle, run, challenge.
Ozil and Santi in the centre of midfield. Only Wenger would do that. No other manager would contemplate it, especially twice in as many games. Once bitten, 763 times eager - that's Wenger.

I keep saying it, but it makes no sense to leave Rosicky out of the squad. Also, Walcott on the bench for Welbeck makes no sense. How long will it take Danny to get goals from the wide position? He hated the role at Utd so we draft him in under the guise that he's play as striker to shift him out wide in place of Walcott?
Theo has his own problems as a player at least you know when he gets going he can be counted on for goals. I don't know what we're doing with Welbeck.
Henry and Souness were saying Wellbeck made it easy for them as he didn't stick to a wide position thus allowing the full backs to tuck in. At Barca Henry was told to stay on the line or he'd be watching the match from the bench, Wenger and the coaching staff seemingly had nothing to say about this.
Having said that as has been mentioned Wellbeck didn't want to play on the wing, that's why he left Man U, got to say though he's not been much cop since his move, as expected.
He's been a bit disappointing. I think we all knew he's no Aguero but he's looked pretty sharp for England this season, there have been flashes of good play for Arsenal too but not enough.
Wenger must go, its simple. How many years now that he's failed in the CL? 19 years and counting and he still has no clue what it takes to win it. We have played the very best and the very worst yet we always get found out because this man is clueless tactically and doesnt now what he is doing most of the time. Monaco outplayed us at our place, thats just unaccepatble.
I saw those post game comments and it's a problem we often have against organised teams. Playing too narrow.
Welbeck will soon start making noise about playing upfront.
Yep, and what makes it worse is they outplayed us with half of their youth team, they had 5 first team players out injured yesterday.
Wenger has to go at the end of the season IMO.
I don't think Welbeck has been that bad, he makes things happen with his hard work, pace and lovely smile. However as a goal hungry striker? Yeah I think we can see why he was maligned at United.
If we had a manager who knew what he was doing then Theo and Welbeck would be rotating.
