First signs of a new era?

As most of us on here look for change is this the first sign of it.

Given Wengers tight grip on everything I couldn't imagine him sanctioning this appointment if it meant that his style of play is being ripped up. Gives me a bit hope that maybe someone further up has grown a pair and that something might change in the near future, then again maybe not.

i read this also and wondered if there's probably someone on the board who actually does realize what's going on and is slowly making changes for a new era.

Wengers hallmark hasn't been tippy tappy patient build up since 96 as this article suggests. We only properly switched to that at the start of the youth project, fabregas era. I know we always played good football, but it wasn't how it's been for last 7 years.

We used to be very direct, and kill teams off in first half hour. We did employ high energy and pressing. If you watch old clips off us we did use a long ball quite a lot. As I said attractive passing and movement was there. But it wasn't tippy tappy stuff.

If wenger switched back to his old philosophy, we'd be more succesful these days. But he's dead set on proving that his new way will work, and everyone else is wrong.

I hate the facking tippy tappy rubbish now

Simple football would have done for united last night.

Ffs look at what Leicester and Mk Dons did against their defense.

21attempts 7 on target before goal.

Good goalkeeping won the game for Manu
