People throw around the word "tactical" as if Wenger has no clue what he's doing. I mean, how do you go unbeaten for a whole season and be tactically naive? How do you stay in top four with dross players and be tactically naive? How do you get to the CL final and be tactically naive? How do you stay in the PL for over 16 season and be tactically naive?
-----------------------------
It's quite simple really, Arsene is a manager who is exceptionally good at coaching good chemistry and teamwork into his players, and spotting good players. So most of his work is done off the pitch. But he's always been a very passive in-game manager. In the past it brought us success but you can't deny that since Chelsea, City etc. came along, the PL has moved onto a whole new level and those methods are no longer sufficient. I don't really care much for the past because I know pre-2004 the PL was not a top tier league, nowadays it is. What worked back then does not work anymore, there's a need for extra detail and strategy these days and Wenger has proven time and time again that he is lacking in that aspect of the game. Hence repeated drubbings vs top teams, average European performances, and an obvious lack of challenge for top honours.

So so so tempted to filter the OP. Clogging up the board with utter tripe.

Truth hurts so I will understand if you filter me.

Its not the truth though. You try to explain years of failing to address obvious deficiencies in the team with 2 wins.

Nearer my God to thee

People are so easily convinced by a few wins. I think it's great that we beat city! But so we should! We are arsenal! We should be beating top teams a lot more, and not celebrating like we've won the league when we do. Just beating city doesn't make wenger suddenly a god again! I mean Burnley beat Man City.

I'm only convinced we've changed from proper progression. I.e not just scraping 4th ever season. And I want us to properly adress the issues with the squad. Until then I won't be convinced that wenger or the club has changed. If wenger beats some more top teams this year and does well in the cups, and buys good DM and CB, then I can start thinking maybe he's changing, and maybe we are progressing. But I won't be convinced by 1 win against city.

Of course credit to wenger for beating them, and credit to the team. Was an excellent perfromance. Now more of the same please for the rest of the season

The problem is that due to Wenger's negligence any chance of challenging this season was thrown away - again - and now we are back to scrapping with 4 or 5 other teams for a shot at the 3rd & 4th places...

Still in the CL and FA cup. We will all rejoice come season end.

This article is hilarious. Mainly because of the blatant baiting that has worked an absolute treat against rabid deluded fans who can feel the inevitable impending egg on their faces so are now trying to caveat everything negative they write. Even saying they want Wenger out even if he wins the CL

Clinging on to notions they know are getting weaker and weaker, such as not buying a centre back and Wenger's "tactical naivety" has cost us winning the league this year. Our so called incredible tactics against city were simply what we have attempted to do in every single big game this season. The only difference is our players performed their roles perfectly this time and we scored first. We took the few chances we had rather than the likes of Wilshere spurning chances to score first against united and chelsea.

Blaming the transfer window as the main reason for our failings despite the club making the best signing in world football during said window

Even the biggest moron on here surely understands that injuries have clearly damaged our season up to this point and recent performances with our full strength defence and main stars returning prove that without injuries we would have been a lot closer to Chelsea. If you still think one cb will have meant we would be challenging for the league right now you should have your access to the internet revoked.

Quite simply put; anyone with a clear objective mind who doesnt have the common 'sheep-like' tendency to base their opinion on whatever is popular or whatever the anti arsenal media tells them, will know that this moment where the team and manager would start proving the majority wrong, was coming. The more intelligent wob have slowly started to see the error of their ways so now a few months late we are getting articles stating that Ozil should play on the wing being fully accepted despite 'Ozil must play number 10' being the herd's main bone of contention a few months back. We are getting articles about the team having a chance of winning the CL.

So i will continue to sit back and watch the inevitable conclusion of this movie play out whilst laughing at the desperation of those trying to perform damage limitation on their comical, rapidly unraveling opinions

In the past it brought us success but you can't deny that since Chelsea, City etc. came along, the PL has moved onto a whole new level and those methods are no longer sufficient. I don't really care much for the past because I know pre-2004 the PL was not a top tier league, nowadays it is. What worked back then does not work anymore, there's a need for extra detail and strategy these days and Wenger has proven time and time again that he is lacking in that aspect of the game. Hence repeated drubbings vs top teams, average European performances, and an obvious lack of challenge for top honours.

I think you're doing Wenger a disservice here, to an extent. The premier league has improved mainly due to money - Up until now City, Chelsea and UTD have all been able to out spend us. Think he should be respected and given the opportunity to spend a bit more money. After all, he has kept us in the champions league for the last 16 seasons and had a pretty impressive first 10 years at Arsenal. If he continues to spend like he has the previous two summers, on players of Sanchez and Ozil's stature the least we will have in a couple of years is a brilliant squad.

Tonight a hero will rise, that will be Wenger and all the infidels will perish

LOL. Godfather's posts don't age well at all. You hear the same short-term memory loss-inspired tripe being parroted by him any time we hit a good patch of form, while history continuously proves the Wenger doubters correct.

Nearly 3 years on and my post as well as other's posts here are still completely relevant. Not because we're all mastermind oracles but because Wenger is the most predictable top-level manager around. Predicting Arsenal's future fortunes is simply a case of copy-pasting the past 5 years. And it will only get worse as Wenger stays still and other PL clubs continue to recruit tactically-astute managers from abroad. In a league with proven winners like Conte, Pep, Mourinho, Klopp and a promising new generation of coaches like Pochettino and Silva, is it any wonder we can't compete.

LOL at Godfather and Oxtail and anyone who still thinks Wenger isn't past it.
