Do we ultimately show mental weakness under pressure and that contributes to us not winning a league title in 12 years? Yes of course but as Letters point out there are times we do perform under pressure but we don't do it consistently because we are a confidence team where one defeat tends to have knock on effect that it doesn't have for other teams.

Beating Leicester in February especially getting a goal in final knockings showed the ability to get a result under pressure however this was followed up by a collapse which shows our utter inconsistency, and yes I'd agree we only perform consistently when under less pressure.

Leicester will win the title because apart from a slight wobble post Xmas they have shown fantastic consistency.

Does that make Claudio Ranieri superior to Wenger?? Not really just wise enough to inherit Nigel Pearsons blueprint and not tinker with it too much.
So is Nigel Pearson superior to Wenger?

Consistency and pressure go hand in hand when your in the title race. It's all to do with our mentality as a team and Sanchez alluded to this issue when he was being critical of our performances.
