I agree that Wenger is ultimately the problem here, I'm not for one minute trying to absolve the players from blame but Wenger's approach quite clearly only works when the team has a core of experienced leader types, something we all know we haven't had for quite some time and Wenger is directly responsible for that because he's the one that builds the team.
It's well documented. A lot of them talk highly of the English core and how tough they were on them. It really helped prepare them for the league and the toughness required.
