Match Reaction vs Liverpool (home).

[AFC Leveller]

Wenger is a fucking liar and a fraud, he has become the biggest problem to the club and the longer he is here the longer this frustration and negativity will go on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

The short of it is, Wenger should have gone after winning the FA Cup (2014). On a high, reputation still mostly intact, and genuine warmth from the majority of the fanbase.

Everything he has done since, chips away further at the reputation he once had, and points more to the doubts lots of people have had for some time.

He is now a bumbling idiot.

Pretty much.

And the real egregious thing about this all is that by sticking with the old man we've let one of the best young managers (Klopp) in football, and someone who I'm certain would have jumped at the chance to join, pass through our hands and now have to suffer the indignity of seeing him do the business at Liverpool.

FML.

Wenger goes back on what he said so many times that it is comparable to Donald Trump. They say one thing today and then say the complete opposite the next day, and their fans or supporters stick with them right through it all! What a farce!

[Power n Glory]

the question that I was pondering during yesterdays shit shower was whether Wenger has always been a bit shit but carried by individual brilliance and strength of character of former players or whether he has become shit over the past 6 or 7 years and that was compounded by having to sell players to pay for the stadium constantly?

Some things are constant (I watched some old video's to check)
The weird substitutions where he takes off a player having a good game and leaves on a bigger reputation player who is stinking the place up
Not getting involved when we are up against it (Look at Klopp yesterday when we scored, changed his approach, changed his tactics and constantly encouraged his team, Wenger when we were losing, sat there looking all French and moaned at the completely pointless Steve Bould)
Weird digs at people in interviews that make him look like a muppet (what happened to the suave wit?)
The insistence on sticking with players that simply arent up to it
Crap goalkeeping
Worse defending
Endless moaning
Never accepting any blame for anything
signing players who are too young then destroying their confidence by exposing them to insurmountable situations
Having Theo Walcott anywhere near the pitch
Playing people out of position
Rigid tactics

and so on, now when you have a Vieira, Henry or a Bergkamp or even an Anelka or Overmars in your team you can gloss over some of that by winning through individual brilliance or strength of character but when you have a team like we have that have less backbone that the whole French Infantry it shows up the mistakes in Neon

He's always had his flaws. But he came to pretty poor league and brought technically sound players with him to 'dominate'. We've never successfully defended a league title under Wenger and we've never won the Champs League. He's made 1 CL final and 1 UEFA Cup final and lost them both. No other manager has had this many shots in the CL with one club but still not win the thing. He's always been a bit shit.

It was all called well in advance of the kick-off. He's the most predictable man on the planet. He presides over the most predictable team on the planet. He'll deliver the most predictable outcome on the planet, time and time again. This is like Captain Kirk finding out the Enterprise has become trapped in a time loop. So, being Kirk, he'll do everything in his power to break free and return to normalityWenger, he'll say okay, this is good, let's keep going around and around until something changes.

That was Picard if I remember rightly.

Defending was horrible on Sunday, sure we played two kids, but the whole defensive positioning was shocking, really amateurish.

Pretty much agree with this, a top manager doesn't have the kind of career Wenger has had, the players he signed and inherited really made him look a better manager than he was.

I actually would describe him as a glorified scout, was very good at finding players on the cheap when scouting networks weren't as widespread, but nowadays that seems to have largley disappeared as well. His record before he arrived was hardly anything amazing, no doubt he did a good job with his limited skills in his first few years, but his weaknesses have been horribly exposed by superior managers for the last 12 years.

If he was a great manager he'd have won the CL and wouldn't have gone 12 years without a title, he also certainly would have been more competitive in the big competitions.

People hailed the stadium move he was championing (although it wasn't his money he was risking of course) as something great, it's proved to be somewhat of a disaster, since then we've gone backwards and turned into a club few fans would have ever wanted to see us transformed into, I miss those Higbury days, since the move to the new Stadium things just have never been the same.

Sounds like it got pretty ugly after Mane scored, WUMger should count himself lucky Oxlade scored when he did because apparently fans behind the dugout were forcibly told to return to their seats. A colleague who went said he witnessed some programs being launched in his direction as well.

Were those individuals ejected from the ground?

Wenger did not see it.
