Plenty of pace up front as well so not sure why he wasn’t looking to dictate things a bit more. His touch was off, his passing was off…not sure what was wrong with him.
It's the tactics, if that's what you can call them. Possession based. Ten touched, when one will do. Static. Slow, unless Alexis or Bellerin get bored by it all and inject a bit of pace. The sideways pass when we need the forward pass. The backwards pass ignoring and wasting the effort of somebody who has made a run. Taking our foot off the gas when we get the upper hand. Exerting the absolute minimal level of effort we can get away with, much in line with Wenger's ingrained philosophy of doing the barest, barest minimum to scrape the CL cash (not the competition, because he makes no effort to compete in that, just the cash).

The garbage team selections. We have two new players so if you are going to play them both then don't go sticking two lightweights like Ox and Theo in the team. The idiotic rotational policy based on fear and negativity rather than planning. Xhaka has a good game and looks like he's settling, so stick him on the bench. Campbell was doing well last year too, benched. Iwobi looks like he could give us something that we lack, bench. Chambers started well when he arrived - bench him and then tell him he's a CM. This Wenger bloke is a serious fucking idiot and it's all on him why this team is playing so poorly and why it doesn't seem to matter who you stick in there. Wenger will always find a way to fuck things up.

The transfer policies. Refuse to spend, watch opportunity after opportunity slide by, then panic and blow more than you would have spent in the first place but in return for second tier players.

Here we go again. Another season of the same old shit and for one reason and one reason only. Wenger.

When he fucks off everything will improve overnight because we'll go from having a non-manager who can't even get the very basics right, to (I assume) a real manager who may or may not be a world-beater but at least will be able to pick an 11 and get something out of them.
