18 months in charge and bar a period between Boxing Day and February this year it has been pretty much catastrophic performance wise. Let’s take a look at the misdemeanours of the coach considering the squad cost over £400m and is very different to the one Wenger left
After 18 months there’s still question marks over what his approach/best team. The best managers implement their style/imprint straight away. Signed Willian and played him until he couldn’t justify it anymore. Hasn’t scored a goal for us all season
Said Cedric was the best offensive FB when he signed him. Now he’s playing Xhaka out of position because he doesn’t trust him Signed Mari then signed Gabriel 6 months later for £27m. Changes his opinion on who’s better each game. We still don’t know our best partnership
Knowing how injury prone Tierney is he decided to let AMN and Kolasinac go in January without a replacement lined up Runnarsson (lol) Sold the better GK to keep Leno who now wants out Kept and renewed Rob Holding to send Saliba out on loan as he’s not ready (lol)
Decided Elneny was better squad cover than Guendouzi or Torreira Played Willock and Laca at 10 as his “internal solutions” Played Willian until he got covid at which point ESR got his first league start Willian has still got minutes to the detriment of Martinelli/Pepe
Willian meant no minutes for Nelson Isn’t sure whether Auba is a striker or a LW despite giving him a massive bumper new deal (strikes of poor planning) Renewed Balogun but continues to use Nketiah despite him having no future here
Rumoured that he wanted to give Mustafi a new deal, Elneny’s agent has spoken about Elneny getting a new deal Poor in-game management, subs etc (we barely ever score after 70 mins) Lowest league finish on the card for over two decades, no Europe next season
The whole Ozil saga was an utter shitshow and that probably deserves a thread on its own but I’m tired and bored at this point
Worth saying also, the Kroenkes governance, or lack of it in this case, has been utterly atrocious. They’ve allowed this malaise to happen under their guise. Terrible terrible owners
There are discussions to be had around the framework surrounding the manager but this discourse is purely about how well he’s done managing the team. And there are so many more questions than answers IMO
