Hmmm - I'm always dubious about these claims that we or other teams lack leadership or are not mentally strong enough etc etc

That certainly wasn't the case when we were winning trophies under Wenger with Vieira, Henry, Bobby, Campbell, Gilberto etc etc. I think what he really means is that we weren't good enough anymore. If your players are good enough you'll win games and be given credit for leadership, fight, mental strength etc etc etc

Wenger didn't magically lose the ability to develop these traits in his players or to pick those that had them and not pick those that did not. He lost the ability to find players who were good enough.

Certainly during the Cesc and Van Persie years we lacked a backbone. How many times did we truly believe we'd go away to a top team and beat them?

With Almunia in goal, no defensive midfielder worth his weight in salt and an awful back four?

Yeah that could be seen as a lack of a backbone, I suppose.

You could have stopped at the Almunia bit, tbh W

This is true, Christ I hated that **** but then again if Wenger asks you to play for Arsenal you're not gonna say no I suppose

I'm beginning to believe that Xhaka is a large part of the problem.
