Interesting post by gamechannel. To think about it:

Players purchased since Wenger left:

- Torreira
- Guendouzi
- Lichtsteiner
- Leno
- Sokratis
- Suarez (loan)
- Luiz
- Pepe
- Tierney
- Ceballos (loan)
- Martinelli
- Mari
- Soares

It has some gems (Torreira, Leno, Martinelli) but looks underwhelming.

In contrast, let's look at the last 5 players signed when Wenger was here:

- Aubameyang
- Mkhitaryan
- Lacazette
- Mavropanos
- Kolasinac

Yikes. These signings are perhaps more down to Gazidis and Mislintat, except Auba, who said when he signed that he joined to player for Wenger.

Regardless, the gulf in quality is obvious between the first and second list.

If we can’t be penetrating Jose’s bus by now then where are we? This is the worst spurs side we’ve played in a long while

Probably the worst prem match in years too

Spurs side that beat us 2-1 in 99/00 was worse.we won a double 2 years later

Not seeing the gulf in quality between the two lists.

Feels like this may have been a turning point. This defeat appears to have been a catalyst, a kick up the arse. We have been brilliant since!

it's a work in progress, arteta has been improving things since the restart

we've been getting better but there will be bumps in the road and we will lose games

no coach in the world can legislate for kolasinac doing what he did—we need better players

key thing is we bounced back from this with two huge f***ing wins against the best two teams in the country

arteta is king
