Didn’t Wenger also become mired in effectively doing a job which is carried out by 3 or 4 people at most other clubs ?Originally Posted by WES
You can argue that Arsenal were in decline (the results indicated that that was clearly true) without arguing that Wenger was leaving the club in a terrible state. It depends on how bad he was at managing the players and money available to him.
Not sure how anyone can suggest that Arsenal as a club weren't far ahead of where we were when he arrived. In fact, virtually every analysis of his performance - no matter how bad - started with 'let's not forget what he has done for this club but...'
Emery has been left to purely coach the players, whereas, reports claim that AW left the players to work out playing solutions amongst themselves ...
Not sure why Leno is getting so much stick on the goal.
Failure to hold the cross or failure to clear it into a better position, I saw somewhere a suggestion that he should simply have allowed it go across the goal without interference as Salah was not getting to it.
It was the very unfortunate slight touch off Holding which presented the ball to Milner else it was likely Kolasinac would have dealt with it.
I see nothing but tangible grounds for optimism right through the team.
Just read this comment in a piece supposedly praising our performance on Saturday " The water damage caused by Wenger’s decline will take years to reverse". Admittedly by one of the worst football writers I have ever readYou can argue that Arsenal were in decline (the results indicated that that was clearly true) without arguing that Wenger was leaving the club in a terrible state. It depends on how bad he was at managing the players and money available to him.

How about, ‘rusting effect’ or perhaps, ‘malignant carcinoma’ .... Jesus. Journo’s eh ?
There is hype?
"Scoring a goal is better than sex" - Whoever said that was sticking it to the wrong woman
Media began to lose the run of itself a little pre-Palace with premature talk of smashing club records.
Perhaps in a rush to crown the man who many / some predicted, or hoped as the case with Monty and his type, would fail.
Certainly a B+ on his report card at this stage.
Good lord, going to tell us who that muppet is?
He certainly isn't representative of the football writers I read.
Jonathan Liew, I assume. LA hates himGood lord, going to tell us who that muppet is?

Daniel Storey on F365 - all stats and no substance.
Actually completely reversed my opinion on Jonathan Liew - enjoy a lot of his stuff (probably more non-football) and he is quite engaging on Twitter

Generally the only decent read on there is Mediawatch, such as this little piece.......
Right-back to where you started from…
Trent Alexander-Arnold was awful on Saturday. Like really awful. He was targeted by Arsenal from the opening whistle. The Daily Mail generously gave him 6/10, rating Fabinho as the only less accomplished player at the Emirates.
So of course Daily Mail columnist Jamie Redknapp put him in his Team of the Week.
There was literally a better right-back on the other side of the pitch, Jamie. But then you never played for Arsenal…
