The board will say he's done a great job, but would Ozil and Sanchez agree?

Historically we lose these derby matches and then go on really good runs.
Putting things in perspective, the performance wasn't bad. Sunday was terrible, but they created plenty of chances tonight. Problem was they never took them as per. Arsenal worked hard for their goals, Swansea didn't. Two schoolboy errors. This happens every season under Wenger, when it rains it poor. I have no doubt he can turn it around. Problem is, chances of the title are over. Fourth isn't good enough and his excuses are wearing thin. The board will say he's done a great job, but would Ozil and Sanchez agree? He doesn't get the maximum out of his players anymore. They cannot be expected to last a season injury free, let alone perform throughout. When was the last time Wilshere played? Why is Arteta captain? Why is Rosicky still around? What has happened to Ramsey? So many questions. Giroud is not good enough. Works hard, puts in a shift.....so what? I'd be angry if he didn't. A proper striker would take chances and I'm certain Arsenal would bottle it less often. Defence remains a shambles, cannot handle pressure....same old. An team in Wenger's image. Brilliant on their day, which is few and far between. Very tired, old, and stale. Same problems creeping up, do enough to mask problems. ![]() ![]()

It's been such a crazy season that anything can still happen.
Can't see us keeping a clean sheet on Saturday. I'd be inclined to bring Chambers in for Gabriel. What the hell! |

I'd say the chances are we're going to get beaten on Saturday and the reaction of the crowd will be interesting. We haven't really played well all season and I have no faith in the ability of the team and manager (especially the manager) to inspire a recovery in the remaining games. Whether or not he remains in charge next season (my gut feeling is he will) I don't see any coming back from this. |

AW says Cech went into the game with a slight injury, which he's now aggravated.
Couldn't make it up. Spurs are very physical in midfield. Only Coquelin wins 50/50s in this team and he's not yet back to form. Got to pick Sanchez and Campbell too. And hit Ramsey on the head until he stops giving the ball away. Wenger would never leave out Ramsey, unless Jack were fit. I'd drop Gabriel for Chambers and not play a high line as both he and Per are slow. But Gabriel is a nervous wreck and Ospina is in goal..... |

Chambers should be put in, I like him, he's young athletic and gets stuck in but he seems to be in limbo with us, another young player going backwards under Wenger! |

This feels different to me. Forget the optimism, we have no chance of the title and I get the feeling we're now in a fight for fourth. In a poor season for all the bigger sides both Spurs and Leicester are going to (deservedly) finish above us and that might be the straw that finally breaks the relationship between the manager and the remaining loyal supporters. No matter how he spins it (and believe me, he will) his team is being embarrassed by better run, less expensive, and far less well paid sides (and managers). There is no hiding or excuses this time.

I'd agree re picking Campbell but I think he'll be dropped (undeservedly) for Theo.
I'd also stick Welbeck up front instead of Giroud. Chambers should be put in, I like him, he's young athletic and gets stuck in but he seems to be in limbo with us, another young player going backwards under Wenger! Ospina Bellerin - Mertesacker - Gabriel - Monreal Coquelin - Ramsey Campbell - Ozil - Sanchez Giroud Ramsey won't be dropped as it's too risky to play Elneny in a NLD so soon in his Arsenal career, he might deem Welbeck as not fit enough to start a big game and Chambers alongside Per is asking for trouble as they both lacking so much pace. Can't see us beating them in all honesty!

Knowing Arsenal they would go for Remi Garde.

Still feeling depressed today. I really think this could be the beginning of the end for AW. It didn't seem the players were playing for him or the team last night. Something's got to give soon.

![]() ![]() ![]() *Arsenal lost to a team who have only been beaten once at the Emirates last night. Every club seems to have their bogey opposition. *They lost at Old Trafford, a place which they haven't won at in almost a decade. *They haven't been terrible all season. They go through patches of brilliance, followed by ineptitude. *Cazorla could return, and Alexis will sooner or later find form. The title's out of the picture. This has been a crazy season but everytime an opportunity arises, Arsenal don't take it. You know they will drop points and let you down. But this team aren't going to plummet down the table, when you see how poor the rest of the league has been. This is a 'top four at best' team. Considering how this was meant to be the make or break season, Wenger's on thin ice. Cannot see how he'll stay put past May without a title. Always suspected a mutual consent type of contract break. |

It definitely is David. The only problem is who knows how long it will take for the curtain to come down? Two months or five years?

If the players have stopped playing for him, Than no way can he last long. Like Belligrence said if he does not win the title he will go in the end of the season. The board will push him out like Utd's did fergie.

I wish I was as confident as you. There's no way he'll win the title but unfortunately I think it would take more than that to get the board to push him out. However, if he really loses the fans and it starts to turn unpleasant in the stadium then who knows? I've always said his ego won't allow him to stand sustained abuse from the crowd.

I mean get this team into the top four. Assessing the facts....

No chance. This team struggles to score 1 goal, let alone 4.

Alexis: "We lack self belief"
I agree with him, and sadly Alexis has lost form since returning from injury ![]() http://www.theguardian.com/football/..._b-gdnfootball |
