I think it's safe to say I'm Mertesackers biggest critic but the reality is we are no better and no worse without him this season.

Sanchez, Ozil, Cech, or Kim Kallstrom, Santos, Chamack it doesn't seem to make any difference who we sign, the end result equals us not reaching the 80 points plus to mount a title challenge but always the 70 plus mark to make top 4 (so far ).

On paper Mustafi, Cech, Sanchez, Ozil plus kos and the emergence of Belerin and Le Coq (ok he's on a poor run right now but he's been brilliant the last 2 years) plus not losing any of our best players for 3 summers running should have made a huge difference but it simply hasn't made any difference at all.

Why? What is it about us that no matter what we do it's the same old story each and every season.

Sorry to piss on your parade mate but it is infact me who is his biggest critic. The problem at the moment isn't ability it's confidence and morale.

Great answer Ed033 mate and as good if not better than other explanations I've both heard and come up with myself mate :-)

Wow Sango if you've got more of an issue with Mertesacker than i have mate you need to ease up on the poor bloke :-)

I get the morale and confidence thing to some degree but could all and any confidence they had was totally lost in one night at Goodison Park? Because since that night it's been all down hill for us this season.

I'm not so sure things were ever that good this season as only the Chelsea performance and result stand out, our two draws with PSG and winning our CL group were more down to Cavini absolutely awful finishing of a sack full of chances in both games than anything to do with our own performances and how we come away from old Trafford with a point is anyone's guess plus a very late very dubious goal against Burnley away and an extremely favourable referring decision in the last minute V Southampton gave us a wins they we hardly deserved performance wise.

I'm not sure the confidence and morale have been there at all this since before we kicked off the season V Liverpool we just seem to have ridden our luck all the way to the Everton game where it finally ran out and from that night onwards the players seemed to accepted​ that was that and they had been found out.

{Ed033's Note - Stating the obvious, but i would imagine that when Wenger leaves, Arsenal's fortunes will either improve slightly or decline.

Either would make a change Ed033 mate 😋.
I've always felt if nothing changes everything will stay exactly the same.

{Ed033's Note - So 'Wenger Out' it is then 😋.

Maybe rather than have a 1 year contract Arsene could have a 1 year holiday and we could all let him know what we are going to do with him at some point during that year :-)
At various points during that year we could hold press conferences where we state we have made our decision on what we are going to do with Arsene's​ future and we will let him know very soon :-)
Or is that to much like the dog wagging the tail :-)
