Maybe we had to adopt that approach after working hard in the first half and having only played in Spain on Wednesday night, after a sunday late afternoon game, and players were tired??

In the past when we have won big or crucial games, you have said its because the players have ignored wenger and done their own thing to win the game. Well this was one of those games, so do you give the players credit for ignoring him and winning, or slate them for backing off to win the game? In what scenario does Wenger get any praise for winning a game from you?
Dont get me wrong, I still want a new manager, but when he gets it right he deserves the praise as much as he deserves knocked when we lose or have been on a bad run.
