Match Reaction vs Pub Team Olympiakos (Home).

[Niall_Quinn]

What will happen to this club if Wenger opts to stay after 2017? We'll be like a branch of Boots, a place where boring, functional stuff happens so the owners can make a lot of money. If we knew Wenger was leaving when his current contract expires at least there would be something to look forward to. As it is, we could be sitting here in 2020 watching the same old shit.

It could, but the thing is all teams have those - and I'm not sure we're having them any more than anyone else, we haven't so far. Even City who once looked invincible are now looking...vincible.
Who knows any more

But let's focus on our team. Forget what the former Champions are doing. This is why I say there is no defining game for us. No indication of progress because we could win next week in a massive game and then lose two on the trot to teams we were odds on to beat.

We need to do something about it. Cazorla had an off night as well. It was the same against Chelsea. They just didn't have a hold of the game.

Ramsey has been off this season but he really added something to our game when he came on last night. He needs a place back in the middle. Created two chances with his cameo appearance. The same amount Ozil created all game. Cazorla created zero chances. I don't know why these guys switch off so often but I heard they both had slow starts against Leicester as well.

I would personally drop Ozil for the big games, shift Ramsey to CM and Santi to AM. The fundamental issue here as we all know is the balance of the team, Wenger trying to fit all these AM's into the starting XI just messes things up.

When they are all on song it is a joy to watch but when things aren't working we get these erratic error strewn performances like last night. I agree with what you say about this team, we literally don't know what we are going to get from one game to the next.

I'd agree on that but it won't happen. He'll drop Ox and play all three. It won't help Ox. He had a poor game last night but it won't do his confidence any good. I don't know how he'll relax and not be so hard on himself, as Wenger puts it, if he's now had the spotlight put on him and then dropped. I'd play him in the next game just so we have a balanced squad. There is no point in going into the Utd game with Ramsey playing wide.

And yet we know what the line-up will be on the weekend. No significant changes in personnel or positioning. Ozil starting, Ramsey out wide, Santi CM. Same old shit. Just told to go out there and 'do their thing'. I tell you, if this league was half-decent anymore, we'd be a top 8 team now. No doubt at some stage the team will go on a winning streak, when we are miles off the top of the premier, producing more fantastic calendar year stats that can be spouted by those deluded enough next season who will believe things will improve.

Depressing stuff. Just as Sanchez finds his mojo, Theo looking like a real option up front and Giroud benched, we create another problem for ourselves. Besides the midfield issue, our defence have gone back to switching off. It's never ending.

Santi has been shit for quite a few games now

He's full on morphed into Arteta.

I remember when he could take on his man and was also ruthless enough to take pot shots.

Why should we force Wenger to retire when it's so clear he hates his tall, plain wife?

Talk about selfish
