We need someone who works hard behind the scenes and does their homework on every single opponent, not just when it pleases and suits them.
It’s all about baby steps. The league is our bread and butter. We haven’t won the opening two games of a season since 2004. Two-thousand-and-f***ing-four. Just goes to show how much Wenger cares about the league.
The baby steps I speak of are winning 5 games on the bounce. When we have a run of fixtures including Bournemouth, Watford, Swansea, West Brom and Brighton (for the sake of argument) we should be looking at 15 points. As a result, if the 6th game is Chelsea away, we can almost afford to lose it.
That’s exactly why the likes of shithead teams like Liverpool and Spurs are looking down at us laughing. They’re doing the basics. Their fans are watching Arsenal FanTV like it’s NetFlix, revelling in it.
If we’d just done the bread and butter right, this most depressing of weeks wouldn’t have impacted on us as much as it has.
I think some people, older fans maybe, believe that Ancelotti is a good stop gap before the club finds the “next Arsene” who will be at the club for 15y+.
@SRCJJ@Joshua Both situations you two describe is what normal is in football. (Successful) Coaches rarely stay more than 5 or 6 years let alone 21 years. Wenger is an anomaly.
that would be halarious. Imagine if they got him, we got another manager and somehow under wenger they still beat us 10-2 on aggregate in the CL :cech:
We aren’t in the position to turn our nose up at Ancelotti who’s won the CL 3 times. For a season or two he’d be fantastic, would win the league and play attacking football
Hmm Ancelotti is still hit and miss though I’m afraid. For all he’s achieved everywhere he’s been, I still cast my mind back to the sobering second season he had at Chelsea (and that was with a better team than we have here now)
While he might take over and we might win the league, its just a likely we could finish in the bottom half. It really is that simple
