Disappointing last 3 results.
Wenger blaming the fixtures is odd as he has a full squad and has been able to rest first team players in the EL and League Cup.
He has now reverted to a 4 man defence as it turns out he always preferred this system. For a successful manager he seems to have a poor grasp of formations and tactics.
Perhaps it would be best if Wenger departs and Ancelloti steps in.

Ancelloti would be the worst replacement for wenger. I know a Bayern munich supporter and he said that in the last few months before he left the players took over the training sessions as they were useless. He also said that ancelloti had lost his hunger for the game. Finally he will not bring thru young players.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - the players were actually going to the local park to hold their own training sessions after training in Ancelotti's last few months at Bayern.}

Ancelotti would be the new wenger. No thanks, past it.

For me City and Burnley are exceeding anything I thought then capable of in August.
Chelsea Spurs and Everton are all doing much worse than I expected and ourselves and Liverpool are just about where I thought they would be.
In fact because of Spurs and Chelsea struggling Arsenal and Liverpool are much more involved in the top 4 battle than I expected they would be at this stage.
Liverpools defensive problems haven't gone away by magic and neither have any of ours, the only difference is Klopp is 2 years into the job while Arsene is 21 years into his.

Well that's reassuring, wenger hasn't given up on the title. His players have but he hasnt.

The beauty of this season is like when Chelsea and Leicester won their titles, they had no Europe exactly as we’ve had this season, completely resting the first team for the Europa League ties.

This has enabled Wenger to play a full strength team in the league, just like last night and really run away with the title.

Oh hang on. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Wenger is running out of excuses he can't use the tired and overplayed BS because he rotates his team. The passion and character only turns up now and again and is used by wenger after another bad run off games. He is too scared to change tactics or players who he hopes will come good. He wastes half a season hoping a player will have one good game whilst other big club managers will drop any player no matter how big a star he thinks he is in an instant if he isn't producing the goods.
Thats the difference wenger is happy with mediocre whilst the peps and mourinhos are ruthless and successful. Even moyes got fight out of his west ham players he was on the touchline all game motivating whilst wenger sat helpless whispering sweet nothings to bouldy. Wenger is our weakest link he can't get the best out of tbe players.

It's just another Arsene Wengers Arsenal season.
Only a change of management will bring any real chance of change in performance and competitiveness.
The next manager could make us worse but it's unlikely, possible of course but unlikely
He could do no better than Arsene and we remain as uncompetitive as always and top 4 hopefuls, there is absolutely no guarantee who ever comes in.
But one thing is as certain as anything can be in football and that's that under Arsene we are have been and will continue to simply go through the motions year after year after year. It's not an attractive proposition but it is what it is unfortunately.

Stoner wenger is quoting that old lemon "fatigue" as an excuse for our performances. Its all a joke and he's creating a nightmare we are all waiting to wake up from.

Agree0 Disagree0

Steve the wake up alarm is set for summer 2019 but I wouldn't bet Arsene not pressing snooze yet again and squeezing another couple of seasons in before we see Brexit :-)

I was listening to some ex pros laughing about this fatigue rubbish, how can anyone be fatigued after so few games. It’s a joke steve.

Xhaka is probably knackered from all that eye brow grooming.
