Match Reaction v Swansea at home (15/16)

[Özim]

Aye I agree, think we need a bit of an overhaul, we're carrying a lot of baggage and as such our first team ends up being half full of what should really be squad players if we are club that is striving to be a top domestic and european powerhouse.

Wenger won't do a damn thing, he's way too deep in this mess because it's his doing, he probably can't see or doesn't want to see the issues that are now being discussed to death by all and sundry. He'll just do his usual, retreat into a shell and create strawman type arguments about the current situation, "we're not fighting relegation", "everybody tells me to buy messi", that type of shit.

As being discussed on here the issues run way deeper than team selection, tactics or his flawed transfer policy and what makes it worse is that none of these issues are being resolved, same old every single season, absolutely nothing changes.

I actually watched his post match interview yesterday and aside from the usual crap about how we were unlucky etc he sounded like a defeated man, the thing is we've been here before and quite frankly I have no faith in him rectifying what clearly needs to be rectified.

I also found his reaction to the Cech injury interesting, he almost answered it as if he was embarrassed and responsible for it. I mean how many muscular injuries do we get a season? It's a huge issue and has affected pretty much everyone in the squad.

Totally agree, he won't do anything, he can't bring himself to spend the necessary and time and time again he looks for the cheap solution to big problems in the squad. He also won't address the issue of crocks, because as always despite years of the same he believes they are actually going to stay fit for most of the season, totally deluded.

As for the interviews, seen it before, he'll perk up soon enough, he may look down but it doesn't last long and a few wins and he'll think we're the best thing since sliced bread again, it's like he only has a short term memory, this has always been the case, we could have a disastrous start where we look awful but it would all be forgotten if we put together a run of a few games where we don't lose, even if we haven't actually played that well in that run, he's basically blind to the teams and his own failings.

A mate of mine just mentioned Amaury Bischoff as a Wenger signing

Remember him?

Don't really get the issue with this one. He didn't cost us anything. Was never expected to contribute anything.

He was another player injured for his entire time here wasn't he? Our club is like a medical tourist hot spot.

Free wages for a year?

Why is he being mentioned? Has he died?

I think he'll be offered a new contract. He'll take it, too.

He'll probably be offered one another one when we string some wins together and the fan pressure is less intense though absent us winning the league this year I really think he may not renew. He really hesitated last time because of the abuse and left it to the last minute - had we gone out of the FA Cup in the semi's to Wigan he would have left.

It's really gone sour now ..... even the die hard Wenger loyalists are turning. I don't think he'll want to experience vitriol, abuse and Wenger out banners at every away game and to be honest it's best that he doesn't. The atmosphere is poisonous enough as is it.

And you're not the only one to say that. I said the same after the FA Cup. Just leave on a high. Even the treble wouldn't shake my opinion on Wenger and wanting him gone.

I'll be honest, I'd tolerate Wenger signing a new contract if we did manage to win the treble! You could live of the glory and high of that for an entire year at least!

It's like the Sanogo situation. On it's own, a gamble on some unknown teenager is hardly a major issue but when that's correlated with actual problem areas in the squad not being rectified with experienced & reliable signings than fans get justifiably angry.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Well yeah as things stand, any manager able to win us the treble from this position would be Bob Paisley, Ernst Happel, Rinus Michels, Brian Clough, Alex Ferguson, Arrigo Sacchi, Otmar Hitzfeld all rolled into one

Not sure he should opening his mouth - his decline in form is one of the key reasons for the state we're in.

He's been dire since his return but one of the big problems we have is that we really don't have enough other options for a reliable source of goals up front.

Giroud scores about three in a batch before going on a 8 or so game drought, Theo is hit and miss, Ozil has a slight bit of the Hleb's about scoring, Ramsey's lost his goalscoring touch and Ox seems incapable of using his talent to score goals.

Oh how I cry for the days when you had Henry, Freddie and Pires all contributing double figures every year.

Someone here at least make an effort to back AW.. WTF is going on? There is no opposing viewpoint anymore. GW is getting as boring as the team!
