Is it just a coincidence he's fucked absolutely everything about this club, all the things we used to love, except one thing. That fucking 4th Place Trophy. We still have that. Lost the titles, lost even being able to compete for those. Lost the football. Lost the entertainment. Lost the ability to even pretend to compete in the CL. Lost the legendary defence, the world class strikers, the tough bastards in midfield. Lost it all. Except that bloody 4th place that brings them in the cash every year.
A coincidence?

Another evidence of what a clueless idiot our manager is. If anything, we need to shoot outside the box more often..
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Won't take him long to ruin Elneny. We're already seeing signs of Iwobi complicated his play, in line with the Arsenal textbook. Wenger has just seen Leicester winning a title doing everything he tells his players not to do. Press, be direct, shoot... All that vulgar stuff that winning teams are doing.

Reminds me of the references I made to Weekend at Bernies in regards to Peter Hill Woods appearance at the AGM. Used to say to a mate that he'd died years before Blue Chips Keswick succeeded him and that he was thawed out and became a human marionette puppet.
Maybe Wenger is being operated in the same fashion with an impersonator producing several stock phrases during press conference
I would say RIP Wenger, but if they are doing that with his corpse he clearly isn't.
I think shooting outside the box is largely an exercise in wasteful shooting, don't get me wrong we carry it to ridiculous proportions with people not shooting even when they are in the box but the vast majority of goals scored in football are inside the box and it's about trying to work your way in behind the defence rather or pressing and attacking at pace rather than pissing about in their third and trying to thread an eye of the needle pass through the centre.
Do I think players should never shoot from distance?. No that would be ridiculous, football is still entertainment and fans love to see screamers and its worthwhile working on placement and power in training but it certainly has to be very much regarded a secondary route to goal.
