Match Reaction vs Swansea City (away).

[selassie]

I'm not sure I agree, if you asked a chain smoker did they want to avoid lung cancer they are going to say yes of course but if you ask them what they will do to avoid that they are a bit more circumspect.

Wenger wants to win but he is so stubborn and entrenched that he can't or won't accept that his methods aren't working it's easier to believe bad luck, things conspiring against him and his team etc are responsible than their desire and application and his tactical paucity.

Is he doing enough to win in terms of innovation, match preparation, the right squad balance etc ? No but I'm not sure that's necessarily indicative of not wanting to win.

The fact that he is stubborn and entrenched in his own methods is the precise reason to why he needs to go immediately, and why he will never win the major trophies again at Arsenal.

I accept that wanting to win isn't a black and white question and there are grey areas of which many you have touched upon...but the facts are that he is not doing enough to setup his squad to win regardless of whether these reasons are principle led or not.
