It's the Wonger 'culture' that's the problem .... top managers WILL NOT carry players like Ozil and Mkhi and certainly not two in the same side, it's no surprise they've both ended up filling their bank accounts at Arsenal ... both excellent individual players but neither great team players, especially when the going gets tough ....
A top manager will set up his SQUAD to play a certain way, the on-field personnel may change however City, Utd, Spuds, Dippers and even Chelsea all have a basic go to strategy which EVERY player has to buy into ....
City play ultra-fast transition back to front .... with eleven players supremely comfortable on the ball, sure they cost a fortune but it's their tactics that win them games .... Utd try and play from a defensive stance (which is why Mkhi and Pogba struggle) ..... Dippers want to play over or around you to a fast front three ... Spuds will press the hell out of you looking to dominate midfield .... Chelsea will play off a target forward looking to beat you with the second ball .... all tactics repeatedly drilled into them by their managers ....
and Wonger? "well lads just go out there and do your thing" .... feck knows what our tactics are, certainly our players don't seem to ....
Hate to say it but Spuds (only the 5th best side in the EPL) gave the Italian champions a 2 goal start in their own backyard and still looked a class above them, simply by sticking to their tactics .... and all because their players don't panic, don't collapse like wet paper bags,don't give up, they just keep doing what's been drilled into them week in week out by A PROPER FECKIN MANAGER ..... just as City rolled over Basel playing the way A PROPER FECKIN MANAGER had coached them how to play for the last eighteen months ....
We need a proper 21st Century manager or we will fast become the best of the rest watching the top five getting further and further ahead .....
