Ox =/= Walcott

Why can't he?

We aren't strapped for cash. There's literally no reason to sell any of the players who aren't in form at the moment.

We are playing so poorly and our players are looking so mediocre recently because of terrible management.

  • Wenger didn't strengthen the squad in terms of quality or depth in the summer.

  • Wenger doesn't prepare the team effectively for each match.

  • Wenger was cocky and played the B team in CL openers.

  • Wenger risked first teamers in a LC tie and didn't even let them warm up properly.

  • When we were playing well it all came to a grinding halt as Alexis, Cazorla, Coquelin and Walcott all got lengthy injuries at the same time.

This completely derailed our season. We started to struggle every week, players were being shifted around, players were being overused (since everyone was injured) or played out of position, form/confidence whittled away, the strategy/tactics weren't adapted for the new setup etc etc.

We didn't lose against United because of mediocre players or players with poor mentality. On the contrary our team was equal to or vastly superior to theirs all over the pitch. We lost because LVG had his United team mark our CM and press our fullbacks high up while Wenger had Alexis, Özil, Walcott, Giroud, Iwobi and Welbeck stand around upfield and didn't do a thing to change it.

Wenger's poor management has led destroyed the confidence of pretty much everyone bar Welbeck, who has missed a year of football and therefore the poor management too.

It's exactly the same thing as at Chelsea with Mourinho. Are Chelsea are poor squad full of mediocre players?! Fuck are they, they've got a great squad but Mourinho played them into the ground, destroyed the confidence and then the performances and results dropped. Look at how well Guus Hiddink is doing with that Chelsea side!
