I knew Wenger would pick the wrong team and have players out of position and do nothing tactically to account for Liverpool's strengths. That much is a given. So we were always going to concede plenty of goals. I was tempted to go with 6 because I knew how bad we'd be set up, an ideal opponent for Liverpool like raw meat chucked into a shark tank. That's how Wenger likes to do it. So his incompetence and insanity was routinely predictable, although I admit he got me with the Lacazette and Kolasinac WUMming. You think of the worst possibility and then Wenger finds a way to top it. He's inventive that way, I give him that much.Originally Posted by AFC Leveller
What I couldn't predict was how toothless we'd be against Liverpool's notoriously leaky defence. We ended up with zero shots on target. I'd have been accused of being deliberately over-negative and hysterical if I'd predicated that. This is a team with Alexis, Ozil, and under any normal circumstances Lacazette firing the bullets. So Wenger defuses that by selecting Welbeck. Somebody said "sabotage" and it does seem like that. But in reality it's extreme incompetence and some sort of mental impairment. Wenger is not well, he has a major problem and somebody at the club should be stepping up to help him and get him the help he needs. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the guy, even though he deserves no sympathy at all given his choice to sign that contract.
I don't blame Welbeck either. Last time we played Liverpool everyone was saying Welbeck had to play, because he looked our only bright spark at that particular time. All the players could do more, but look at the impossible odds they face with a manager who keeps on finding tried and tested as well as new and surprising ways to fuck things up. Alexis, Ozil, Ox, the club keeps raising the bribe for them to stay but they aren't stupid.
It's a mess. But it's not a surprise. We have been getting to this performance for a long time and the writing has been scrawled over every wall. Wenger can't take the blame alone. WTF are the dickheads supposedly in authority at this place doing? Raking in money, yes. But what else? They've even stopped feeding their golden goose. We're about to make a profit in a transfer window where it was so essential we showed some ambition. And they call this shit "sustainable"? Not for much longer. This ship is going under.
