View Full Version : What are people’s theories as to why Wenger would leave us so scandalously short in defence?

I mean, I think everyone accepts that he spends every waking hour thinking about the squad and his players. Was it just a massive oversight? Did he forget how many defenders he had? Or is there some broader thinking behind the decision?

Other than he rates Hayden and Bellerin but I think it's widely accepted we've had the weakest generation of youngsters for a long time, hence the defenestration of Brady.
I think the most likely theory would be that he thought he could get away with it, a sort of "f**k it, it'll be alright" thing.

End of the day, we might well start tonight's game with four international defenders. Not bad for a crisis.
I reckon we'd need to lose another two more for it to *actually* become a crisis.

that I realised we'd been relegated, I was looking at the table thinking, 'blimy, this league is a bit ****, before noticing 'Division 2' at the top.

The plan is probably to buy or get a loan in January if one of the kids can't step up and do a job for a few games ie Issac Hayden and Bellerin.
They've reportedly done well through the summer and pre season....

It also presumably makes promoting any players even more of a gamble.

Nobody would be happy if we were to have spent our Alexis money on a back, no matter how good he was. And if he's not top, top quality then why not just give the shirt to an academy kiddy instead.

Could also just be about who he could and couldnt get i suppose.
Whatever the reason, it seems a shame. Leaves a clear weakness in whst is otherwise a pretty strong squad.
