Over to you guys, would love to get your input

1.) 04 Jan 2015
Naive tactics
Lack of discipline
Lack of DM
Lack of real leaders
Far too predictable pattern of play

Amazed you never went for the Biggest reason INJURIES
1= Injuries
2=Repaying the new ground
3= Russians and sheiks money
4=Loss of key players to our rivals (and not replacing them)
5= Missing a mid field war horse, a real leader, Vieira was that
=========
And bad luck at the wrong time

1 -Arsene Wenger
2 -Arsene Wenger
3 -Arsene Wenger
4- Unambitious board
5- Greedy owners

Like it or not: The number and quality of players we had, would have certainly produced much better results under a good tactician.
Hell. even big Sam would have got us at least one or two positions above where we ended up.

Welsh mate you are all lovely bloke and Arsene is very lucky to have you, everyone should be as lucky as Arsene and have a friend as loyal as you.
It must be a welsh thing as my aunt who is from Bangor still insists every teacher at my school was wrong and I was right, she drove my poor old mum and dad nuts with her total and unwavering defence of me.
No not Johny bach:-)

1. injuries have killed us this season. Even if TV5 was still here it would have made no difference.

Impact of iNjuries have been made worse thru:

2. Organisation of defending - got to blame players and Wenger AND Bouldie. This covers pressing up front and the attacking fullbacks etc.

3. Depth is squad.

This has not been helped at all by :

4.External money funding football clubs
5. Our financial position over past 6 years or so

Then throw in

Some big names just not turning up this season and some bad luck.

The goal posts are too large on our end and too small on the oppositions end
We should never have to play a midday kick off were night owls
Nicklas Bendtner - how much success have we had since his departure? Re-sign immediately!
Other teams use tactics. That is completely unfair and every manager should have to take a regular "chess test" to ensure dope-ing
(Insert fifth flippant reason here)

1. Too many small, technical players.
2. Over-reliance on tippy tappy football.
3. Weak squad.
4. Lack of rotation.
5. Unwillingness to sign top quality players to fill gaps in the squad.
