Haven't bothered to post much in a couple of years, and I've never said it in public before, but I think Wenger needs to go. I was hoping he'd leave on a high after the FA Cup final, but he evidently decided not to.
Problem is, you have to defend as a team. Wenger doesn't seem able to coach a team to defend, and won't allow coaches to properly coach the team to defend. That's why nothing will ever change. Forget the players, signings, it's irrelevant. If a team can't stop the other team from scoring, every game you're in an up hill struggle. Players like Ozil, Sanchez, Lacazette are always going to create and score goals, whatever the system being played. But you could stick de gea in our goal with Maldini and Nesta in front of him and we'd still concede every game. It's the manager that's the problem, not the players.

And for the record, I've never before the day of 2017 FA Cup final said I want him to go.

We had our chance for change last season when everything was pretty much as it is right now but people didn't want change when push came to shove, I personally was disappointed we didn't take our chance when Arsene was out of contract but respected the fact that I was because of a 7 game run against the beach boys and the fa cup win back in the minority and reluctantly accepted what the majority wanted.
I just find it a bit rich that people who refused change when they had the chance now demand it after 3 games in the new season, whatever kind of decision is that?
It's just not right to back the man then turn on him so quickly when he's done is what he's been doing for years now, Arsene hasn't changed its some of his backers who have and that's not Arsene fault.

I think most people, even the biggest Arsene supporters, thought he should have left once his contract was up in the spring. I'm not going to lie, I was in denial about the Wenger situation for a while, but a while back I deep down knew he had to go, and was praying he would leave on a good note back in May.

TG it's not right to say to someone I'm with I'm right behind your staying and then turning on them the first sign of trouble.
Who didn't expect us to get thrashed yesterday? It was obvious it's was going to happen, who thought beating Stoke at the end of last season was truly a reflection of things and we would get a result there this season? it was obvious Stoke would be up for it and highly likely would get thier usual 3pts against us.
Being wise after the event isn't a brilliant talent mate.
People fooled themselves into thinking what they wanted to think and backed Arsene because it's how they wanted it to go, they shouldn't now turn on him for their own lack of foresight
Arsene is Arsene we all know his stenghths and weaknesses and the vast majority accepted him worts and all for 2 more years just last May, it's a little rich to say I didn't expect this after just 3 games especially when the 2 defeats are pretty standard defeats for us most seasons.
TG it's about consistency mate and I've consistently heard Steve Malaga Derby and plenty of others say they want change but not so much from some who are now demanding it 3 games in.

I and many others haven't backed Wenger for many years. You act like we voted him a new contract.
He was given one, nothing to do with us all backing him so you say because actually most people didn't anyway.
I'm not turning on him now, that happened many years ago.
