    Yes I think we need that, a totally fresh approach with none of the old group left behind who have been use to the Wenger ways, then we can move forward.

    Yes, and while i'm worreid he may not be quite as attack-focussed as we'd like, he has the stature to simply tell players where to get off - i think Freddie's choice was all about keeping 'senior' players happy which we can't afford to do - people should play on merit and nothing else.

    we need someone who will sit down Xhaka and Mustafi and say 'you've played your last game here - go call your agent and sort something out'

    At 75, I think he is enjoying his retirement too, hence the comment about a special consultant for the next 2-3 months. Someone who we hire to tell us how much improvement we need and what his recommendations are... kinda like having an external account firm auditing your finances.

    And the wing play at pace, whip it into the box and have Shearer go up against Adams, those days are gone. Now it's more like run at the defender, fly into the air screaming while your mates shout VAR! Graham wouldn't have a clue in this blighted era of football. All you have to do is look harshly at the likes of Vardy or Kane and you're defending a free kick at the edge of the box and down to 10 men. Adams and Keown wouldn't be totally ineffective today. Half their game was intimidating the opposition out of it.

    And poor old Freddie. I said, just a few days ago, I hope the fans take it easy. One game in and Freddie's been and gone in many fans' minds. I doubt that was even his team. Bet it was Emery's last line-up and tactics. Doubt Freddie had time enough to get his pen set, stapler and family portrait on his desk - let alone shake up the team into something the fans are demanding. We'll see what happens tomorrow now he's had a whole week to win the CL.

    By All accounts his attacking record over 5 yeas wasn't that bad.

    It's along the lines of 196 odd goals conceded and 550 goals scored.

    Something like that.

    Ljungberg did an interview where he pretty much confirmed he picked that team because it was the best balance for us. Let's be honest he picked a dud of a lineup, not a good start, but anyway he won't be the manager long hopefully, surely we can find someone qualified fairly soon, because that's what we need at Arsenal now, someone strong who won't accept 2nd rate performances and has a system in mind and can drill players into playing it correctly and defending, too much for an inpexerienced manager. We need a big personality who isn't scared to tell players what he thinks about their performances.

    It is safe to say that we are finally fucked as a football outfit

    The inherent problems Wenger left here have only just got worse since his departure.

    1. Distinct lack of top quality in both the playing and coaching staff
    2. Severe mental and physical weakness
    3. Lack of vision and strategy at executive and ownership level

    Makes for a nice molotov of a club on the verge of implosion. Too many problems in too many areas.
