negatives -LRB--)-- terrible
result — wengers
team selection (arteta + ozil in particular)-- generally poor work - rate across the pitch and nothing like the backbone we showed
against man city — handing dortmund initiative to
top the group (we all know what finishing 2nd means)-- lack of hunger + desire — welbeck misses — still no joel campbell (who in my personal opinion is a big game / stage player)-- in all our «set - piece» training we totally forgot about the bread and butter of football which is making an impact in open play

top level Football Club.His tired and outdated methods have left us trailing the very clubs we used to dominate.Wenger has left us 5 years behind these Clubs.The younger modern manager know how to get results.Even
against each other.Wenger can't even get a
result away from home
against teams in the relegation area.These
teams used to FEAR playing us.Now they look forward to it.They know we will be playing with the same old tactics with plenty of the ball that gets us nowhere.No spine to the side.No passion in the side.No confidence from the players in the Manager.He should have been replaced 7 years ago
- Wenger can be so insane to do it.The man is out of this world and complety insane.He can not see what it is obvious for the entire world.To have better players on the bench and to keep favouring the same out - of - form or not good enough players week after week is madness.To play for draw from the beginning
against an awful
team which got beaten by the entire league on a daily bases - this is something unimaginable.It is not Mertesacker fault for being embarrased by any player on the planet, it is the manager fault for exposing him as a laughing point of focus.Wenger must go, the man is deluded, he is scarred to take any risk for success.Well, guess what - only showing courage and breaking the risk can bring you success.Not the case - I predict a chain of defeats following, with the cherry on
top being a big defeat
against Spurs - a
team which, despite our hate, plays real football (with great
results I must say).
