so i agree, but i dont think he should be the scapegoat. it's really an astounding collective failure.

imagine watching Monreal fail to defend consistently for three seasons and then seeing him start every match he's fit to play.

you, too, might think you could skate into the starting XI without worrying about your zone/mark.

this is Arsenal writ large.

can you remember Gibbs making a critical defensive error? yet he sits on the bench.

Wenger has no idea how to build a team's spine. if he hadn't lucked into Petr Cech wanting to stay in London after he was replaced by Courtois, Arsenal would be a 7th place squad.

Wenger's lineup vs WBA omitted any defensive midfielders. not sure he remembers which division he's managing in.

Lamela was a regular starter (when fit) for two campaigns. he's quite good, and far more aggressive than most people realize- highest number of fouls for Tottenham iirc
