    Wenger having his style and philosophy is fine, every manager should have one, but to persist with players who blatantly do not fit into the puzzle is bizarre. You'd think after having enjoyed so much success with a more direct and athletic style of football he'd veer more towards that, instead of this ridiculous passing game that's about as useful as a blunt knife. Fine if you have the players but we obviously don't. This is where he could do with some extra help in terms of coaching but we knew he'd never allow that input.

    Most rational people make mistakes, maybe multiple times but learn from them or look to change things so that they don't happen again, Wenger on the other hand pretends he doesn't make any mistakes and never learns a thing and sticks to the same failing formula year after year, it's frankly embarrassing to watch.

    It really is bizarre and so frustrating to watch each week. I can't even say we don't have the players to play the way he wants. What's really stopping him from playing Sanchez up front? What took him so long to play Elneny? He's mismanaged the squad for years now and it's becoming more obvious that he has really lost the plot. For years I've thought we should have been playing both Cesc and Rosicky or Nasri through the middle like we have seen him try with Cazorla and Ozil. Now that he's doing that he's playing with the wrong sort of striker all together. I've lost a lot of respect for him as a coach. I don't know why it takes him so long to figure out the best team and tactics after all these years.

    I think with Wenger it's partly loyalty and partly hubris, he does not want to be ruthless and stick the knife in but also he is obsessed with doing what people tell him can't be done. It's like the more he hears from people that Giroud and Ramsey don't fit into his system the more he will try and prove people wrong.

    Combine what is essentially a very stubborn individual and make it even worse by giving that stubborn individual unrivalled power, and it's a recipe for disaster.

    It seems that way on the surface but he's been totally ruthless with Campbell, Walcott and Merts but Giroud and Ramsey get chance after chance. There are still ways to add his touch to the team and do what others don't expect. If he wants to create star players he's still able to do that with the squad he has. Why not convert Sanchez into a striker like Simeone has done at Atletico with Griezmann? Wenger would still get the praise for doing what others haven't done. If he wants to play the underdog card, we have a team full of players that have just as much doubt surrounding them but have never been given the same opportunities as other players. What he's doing is just foolish. I'm not sure what's the driving force behind it but it's foolish.

    Grow up.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
