Big Poppa said:My beef with Wenger is lack of prioritising specialists for specific positions and failing to address long standing tactical weaknesses at the expense of educating players for the long term. We have lacked balanced width for 8 years. Our full backs both push up the pitch at the same time and we do not have the needed central midfield cover. I could go on but I'll stop there. Please, if you need to lynch a guy like Wenger, then do so for something he is actually responsible for, not because everyone else's doing it.
Yes, but can you envisage Wenger willing to SOLELY focussing on training and coaching/maximising the potential of players, and leave the negotiations/valuation of a player to others?Big Poppa said:@ goonerwarsh - I guess I'm just trying to explain that everyone's frustration is valid but it's in the wrong place. Wenger does himself no favours with his retort of 'we will buy if we find the right players' because it contradicts the reality of three parties needing to agree on all conditions for a transfer to happen and what he really means is not that the right players don't exist, but that the quality ones who are available like Cazorla are much more difficult to come by or are much more difficult to negotiate for. To that end, I'm not surprised that Wenger gets the blame from supporters but someone at the club needs to help him out here.

And George Graham couldn't beat Wrexham.law90026 said:Penn_ said:Cruisio said:Depends really, do you believe Wenger has done the absolute best that is possible by this club recently or over the past few years?
Depends really whether he has been give money before to replace gaps in the team and that is something only Wenger himself will be able to tell us. He has had his fair share of bad luck with leg breaks and players he grew abandoning him when we looked to be on the verge of success.
The FA/League Cup should of been taken alot more seriously and probably would of caused less of atmosphere that currently hangs between supporters but I can't blame him for the tittle when you look at how much money has been spent.
We couldn't beat Bradford City.
Clough was a raging alcoholic who was stuck in a 1970s mentality, and had lost Peter Taylor, without whom he did nothing -- twice.Camel said:Such a perfect timing, just before a game with Villa lulz.
This thread smells like a RAWK thread. Like "the Stewart Downing Appreciation Thread" or "the Andy Carroll Appreciation Thread".
I bet some Nottingham Forrest fans supported Brian Clough even when he got them relegated, blaming the board(and probably they were right in some degree).
Uncle Mike said:Clough was a raging alcoholic who was stuck in a 1970s mentality, and had lost Peter Taylor, without whom he did nothing -- twice.
As Clough himself might have said, I wouldn't say this was the dumbest way to suggest sacking Wenger, but it's in the bottom one.
What train wreck? (I've never seen it written as one word.) We brought in Sanogo and got rid of a bunch of players who never should have been here. That's a net plus.Camel said:Uncle Mike said:Clough was a raging alcoholic who was stuck in a 1970s mentality, and had lost Peter Taylor, without whom he did nothing -- twice.

Wenger won nothing since he lost David Dein too. Can I say that Arsène is stuck in old times? Crying that oligarch clubs ruined football while Dortmund with Klopp won two leagues on the trot and got to the CL final.
I hinted that you can't live on past glories, at least in our club. Come on, are you really satisfied with this trainwreck of a window, Mike?
