When were you last happy with our first XI?

Genuine question. When was the last time you looked at our starting line up and were filled with confidence?

You know that feeling you'd get during the invincibles when you'd see the team and think, yep, that's an effing good team and we are going to steamroll the opposition.

I have been saying for a long time that we can talk all we like about tactics and mentality, but ultimately, we just don't have good enough players.

When we had Cesc, Hleb, Rosicky and Van Persie in the side.... so about 10 years ago.

I'm very happy with your first XI

We have a squad full of quite good players. Players who are in that awkward category where it seems harsh to drop or sell them but they're just not quite good enough to win us the league. We need to be more ruthless.

I think Wenger falls in that category as well. Which is why he's been able to hang on for 5 years too long.

Just to be clear, my major grievances with Wenger begin in 2013, but yes, probably a fair point, give or take.

Cesc, RVP with Hleb and Rosicky. Think we even had Adebayor on fire too.
