Seasons' comparisons

That article was published a day early.

Because in Hong Kong, I've got the Premier League Channel, he actually said that on an analysis about a couple of weeks before the article, and it was like "Yeah, Arsenal is the inform team, but they won't make it into the CL", I was watching it and it was like what's the logic?

He has no match savvy IMO.

However, what he does have is an innate ability to manage a team regardless of the combinations of players, to the same performance level each season. That is impressive and he deserves credit because consistency is not easy to achieve.

But to be honest, he never really had match savvy, it's just before, we were winning, winning, winning, we just used to laugh about it. Where as now, we haven't won it for so long, it's no longer something we laugh at.

I don't like Wenger's subs. Not his subs today, yesterday or tomorrow but his philosophy to them. He has pretty much admitted to determining them primarily on energy and fitness levels.

The subs are not necessarily a requisite or even a wholly releavnt part of winning a game though.....and mostly, the good mangers make the subs an irrelevance. Wenger didn't get away with a dodgy sub today any more than per and Koscielny got away with Sterling and Markovic clowning around in front of goal having had our back line ripped open.

I didn't have too much issue with Ozil coming off. The game was mentally won and 3 nil was always going to be hard for them to over turn at that stage. I had more issue with Flamini coming on than Ozil coming off. We tend to hammer Wenger when he over plays players. Ozil had a massive hand in winning us the game and he has run further than anybody in the team since January so taking him off before 90 minutes was up is nothing to lose sleep over.

Lest we forget we will probably need to play this Ooorible lot again this season in a game that will be of even more significance.
