Giroud misses more than he hits, Walcott has NEVER delivered his expected talent, Welbeck will NEVER be the striker to score 20 goals a
season Coqellin will NOT go a whole
season injury or suspension free, Sanchez and Ozil WILL have down period during the
season, all teams have these problems to a greater or lesser degree but most of the top teams will address these problems and players either inprove or are sold and replaced with better or at least more consistant players, NOT Wenger he keeps doing the same thing
over and
over with the same players and he expects a different result but gets the same outvome time and time again, yet its ALWAYS someone else's fault be it the Ref or the linesman or the opposition or bad luck or whatever and whoever and its NEVER the fact that HE has done nothing to change the situation and LOOKS LIKELY to not change it next time around.

over as creator, Ozil has been shipped out to the wing and whilst he struggled earlier in the

injury prone players, hates strong physical players, plays players out of position, always looking for excuse like refrees and saying other teams played more in pre
season, does nt spend money on players required like if we need strikers he will buy CAM, waits for other teams to buy top players and signs average on deadline day, calls accident when we lose, talks cohesion and mental strength when we beat terrible teams and win mickey mouse trophy like Asia cup and community shield.

Wilshere for all his
injuries is far better than both Ramsey and Xhaka.I just don't know the importance of Xhaka in the team if he can't defend.He's the real problem in the squad.Why do fans keep accepting mediocrity?Aren't we tired?It's painful seeing him play every match in our midfield then the same people who claim to love him would come and be making noise about how average he is after a bad match forgetting that he's actually average.I'd easily play Maitland - Niles or Coquelin
over Xhaka.They would provide more steel in the midfield.Is it going to take us four
seasons to realize how average Xhaka is?The painful things is that by that time many trophies would've have by passed us.
