So Maureen beats us less than any other

team.... even though Wenger has a shocking record against him it's interesting we're also the team he beats least often. His record against the top teams in incredible, none of them can find an answer to the tactics he uses in big games.

Liverpool...8 wins 1 draw 1 loss
City.........6 wins 3 draws 1 loss
United......5 wins 4 draws 1 loss
Arsenal.....4 wins 6 draws

He's a tactical genius and a great manager there's no denying that... I don't call him boring because managers only criticise him when they can't find a way to beat him. Managers never criticise teams when they win. I'm not a fan of his or the way he plays with a billion £ team but it works and Wenger needs to find a way to beat him instead of criticising otherwise he just looks silly.

Having said that in Maureen's first spell at Chelsea we dominated them in some games in a way that other PL teams haven't been able to do, and our failure to get the win was down to missing clear cut chances rather than their tactics. At other times they've beaten us easily and in a lot of our losses and draws we've failed to score and they clearly know how to nullify our attack.

When Maureen first came to the PL in 2005 that was the start of our 'financial restrictions', and within two or three years pretty much the whole invincibles team had been sold and replaced with inferior players. We built the team around Cesc and played more of a possession game, after a few years our results against the big teams started to suffer and we didn't adjust our tactics in big games.

But if you isolate our results against United (post Highbury) and Mourinho there was only a two of three year period where we flopped against all the top teams, which for me was down not adjusting our tactics but also the mental impact of selling our best players every year and the constant negativity surrounding us.

Wenger's not a tactician in the Mourinho sense of figuring out ways to beat superior teams, so when the quality of our team started declining and we were trying to beat better teams we struggled, but it's overlooked how we did against the best teams in the first 9 years.

We didn't lost against Spurs for a decade, we didn't lose to Chelsea for years, we've always had a great record against Liverpool and had a winning record against SAF until we moved to the Emirates.

Wenger is an idealist, his mistake was trying to win in the perfect way against all the odds and it exposed his flaws. Even then it nearly worked in 07/08 and we also got to finals, semi finals and were never a million miles off.

Feels like things have come full circle in a way and winning the title would be the perfect answer to all the critics Wenger's had over the last 10 years, I have faith he can achieve that and produce the magic most people have forgotten he is capable of. If we have a great team Wenger can do great things so it's all about the signings we make this summer, we need get them done early to give ourselves the best chance for next season.
