We can't even pick up points against the smaller clubs away from home. I am not sure there would be any game in the league away from home where we wouldn't be be massive underdogs.
As for Lacazette, proved once again why no big club ever signed him.
Sorry to be pedantic Jay .. but WE signed him
I'll get my coat .......
Yeah, we did, but it's a long time since we were a big club, unfortunately. City, Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs are the big clubs in the PL, we're top of the second tier. Away from home though, I'd say we were the worst team in the league.
There is no comparison with arsenal and Leeds and Nottingham forest
Both these clubs had moments in the sun under good managers who had fashioned a unit
Revie at Leeds
Clough at Nottingham forest
We are a massive club always will be
We have the wrong man managing the team
So said Leeds and Notts Forest ..... and back in the day many more .... times have changed and our financial strength should ensure top six football .... but remember Liverpool spent two decades playing catch up, and you can't say they were not a 'massive' club .....
Drop the ball for a decade (as Wonger has) and picking it back up may prove a hell of a job whoever the new manager is ..... the longer the rot is allowed to fester the harder the task becomes .... Mus, Xhaka, Lacca, Aube that's 200m a new manager might well have spent better, not to mention 'losing' 50m on Alexis .... we will never know but we can't let the old fool keep putting out teams and performances like we saw in the NLD ... the NLD for fecks sake .....
We do not compare to Leeds and Nottingham forest
These were 2 clubs that had a moment in the sun thanks to 2 managers revie and Clough who put a unit together that was greater than the sum of its parts.
Arsenal have always been a massive club winning titles since the 30's
Under Herbert chapman
Joe shaw
George Allison
Tom Whitaker
Bertie me
George graham
Arsene Wenger
The game has changed
There is a lot more money in it
Good job we have loads of it then
I'm sure there will be an awful lot of bollocks spoken when Wenger goes whenever we have a poor result but I have no doubt that a good manager would get a better tune out of the players we already have.
A greater desire to sort out how we set up as a team to make us harder to score against.
And not have the baggage of having to admit that something has gone wrong and it's more important to fix it than try to be proved right doing something that is failing
It's a competitive sport
There is someone up the other end trying to beat you
All any fan can ask it to be as competive as you can
We ain't doing that under Wenger
We can do that because we are the arsenal
