I just gave myself a headache thinking about the things Arsene could have done differently with this team. It all comes down to rotating players and actually using wingers to do winger things... Like advance the ball up the pitch. The fullbacks have way too much responsibility on this team. Ozil/Santi/Tomas should be rotating at the 10. Stop buying young wingers if you're not going to use them, or plug them in at CM.
I'm already ready for the bullshyt this summer. The lack of buying, blaming the World Cup and today's market. Players dropping like flies and the team falling to pieces at the time they need to hold together the most. I was going to make a post last week about how Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham are basically the same team 3x over and the difference is that Spurs have no leader, Wenger seethes internally, and Chairman Mou actually does something about his problems instead of calling them accidents.
Once again...![]()
Excellent point on the fullbacks. Spot on.
Lack of elite strikers
Slow and predictable build up
Lack of pace on the wings
Lack of power/drive and athleticism in midfield
