The #1 thing is it smashes the "X number of years" narrative so I guess they need to hit the reset button.
The Fabianski selection looked to be an epic mistake there. Their second should have been easily tipped past the post. Made a hash of it. But then again the marking was woeful.
thought the big move was getting Podolski off about 10 minutes earlier than the norm and switching to 4-4-2. That left Bruce's three man back line vulnerable and it changed the game. Luckily, thanks to Kos bucking up and shaking off injury, Wenger had two subs left and the Rosicky/Wilshere fresh legs were too much for Hull.
Going forward I don't know if this changes much. Wenger will still be under pressure to make something good happen before August 31. Still, I'm happy for Wenger and the players who really do seem like a close knit bunch and overall the kind of folks we like as representatives of The Arsenal.
