Ask youself how we can play like world-beaters for 20 minutes at home against Bayern, chasing every ball, tracking back, running off the ball etc and then look so pedestrian and uninterested in most of the games since.
Whatever anyone thinks about our tactics, transfer policy, substitutions, injury record, there is no excuse for the lack of effort and passion in most games.
Whatever else there seems to be a huge motivation issue among the players and most of the team seem to be picking and choosing their games.
Players tend to get complacent and learn all their manager's tricks. At a certain point this turns into a lack of respect and players switching off. This happened to Wenger at Monaco where there was a long, slow decline before he left.
The only alternative is for managers to move on every three or four years or, if they have the power, to be utterly ruthless and axe one or two star names every year the way Ferguson used to. Forcing out the likes of Ince, Kanchelskis, Beckham and Stam on a regular basis definitely concentrated the minds of all the players that survived...
Over e last five or six years Wenger has been blind to his own and his team's failings and probably too loyal to players that really haven't earned that confidence and loyalty.
