mexes would rightly prefer Milan, i was thinking more in the past seasons. that's why i said we're not amongst the biggest. i was thinking we have no chance if a team like Bayern would go for the same player like us. but sometimes you have to want more than squilacci's (not that he's no good, he is what he is decent. the defence as a hole is what's failing more).
mental fragility, niceness call it what you want we aren't fighting enough. the players just don't work for the ball enough. sometimes i noticed a (somewhat justified) fear of going into takles hard.
the statistics might hurt and it's true goalkeepers had good games, but don't you think we made the opposition look great for numerous times. i'm talking about not fooling around with fancy play and scoring the simple or easy chances. as much as the defence is too blame, the attack is not that effective either.
bringing loads of players would not help even if they were good, but we don't have citeh money to buy as such. some good starters would do.
i wouldn't worry about spurs much, man city yes. but arsenal won't go out of the top 4 for sure. not with what has and is expected to happen in summer.
on top of persisting with some problems, he can't seem to make the squad work. it seems the players are not affected by him at all. this is what is worrying because he did try to solve problems bringing defenders (might argue not very good ones), filling in departures (nasri, arshavin, etc.). the fucking excuses is what drives the fans mad. they accompanied by repeating identical mistakes, followed by excuses. they make up an image of nothing being done about the situation.
sure, in hard times the flaws seem expanded. the team might just need some adding and some shaking of their mentality. but after so many years of shockingly similar failures you have to ask whether Wenger can do the job. because he might have well conceded he was wrong to a degree and add the right players, release the wrong ones, and work on the squads mentality in increments each summer, each year. earlier.
it's late and now, this summer there has to be a decider.
