The fact that he insists on only having the centerbacks in Arsenal's half during an attack and the fullbacks bombing forward ahead of the ball is a contributory factor. The Chelsea game in particular;ar was all about losing the ball on those interceptions and the transition defending was poor because Gibbs and Sagna are caught up trying to join the attack without the ball.
and what makes it worse is that Gibbs and Sagna are useless attackers.

I've been going at Wenger about this. This season is even worse. Our set up and stupidity in those games killed us but to ignore the Arteta factor :salute:

My issue with Arteta and Flamini has nothing to do with tactics because even if the tactics were on point they would be inadequate. Name me a team with a weaker set of Defensive Midfielders?

Wenger got two more years at least, he aint leaving so why focus energy on that? Plus, I don't see an adequate replacement out there.

Fair enough you guys do need more legs in midfield but most of the problems you're having is down to poor coaching imho. Stewart Robson knows :sas2:

Arsenal aren't going to hire a Simeone type.

Hope that never happens.
Arsenal with a proper coach who gets the absolute best out of his players? :whoa:

I'm afraid that we gonna hire Roberto Martinez a man who plays similar to Wenger style and doesn't command alot from the board in terms of transfers :( I am hoping for Klopp but I think he'll go to Real or Barca

I would've thrown the checkbook at Seamus if I was Arsenal as Sagna's replacement. Perfect player for us. We need a threat from deep and haven't had one since Cole left tbh. If I'm forgetting somebody let me know. Debuchy is ok going forward but is woeful at defending plus he is sooooo slow. He'll have a couple fukkups before the year is done.

Everton were asking for 20-25m, you know how they roll, they'll probably get 30-40m for Barkely this summer if he hadn't got injured.

Chamack is actually killing it in the old Fellaini role for Crystal Palace. :ohhh: Yet another player Wenger was using wrong.

Klopp scares me, I think he's another Wenger type as well.

Martinez is probably the next one. It's either him or we go to Germany imo.

Arsenal and United are very similar til United went all Galatico, it's a bit sad. Lots of emphasis on Arsenal/United way and class. Simeone would disrupt that.

After Klopp murdered Mourinho in the CL two years, I wanted him to manage Arsenal.

yeah he is. it makes me sick too, but they are smart about it. they buy these prospects for 5-10m, loan them out to mid-top clubs in other leagues, value increases and sell them for profit.
