'Add to that diets, nutrition, player scouting systems – it has all moved on. Wenger was way, way ahead of his time, streets ahead – many respected names in the game cite him for changing football in this country.'
My issue is that that provided an advantage for a while and now others have caught up or surpassed him. I think his approach has become too scientific! He judges players abilities on information that can be quantified i.e. How fast, passing accuracy, completed dribbles, takles made, strength etc.
I just feel he doesn't appreciate the other aspects of players games particularly leadership & heart. I do feel that if he was offered an 18 year old TA6 or Steve Bould he would turn them down because OPTA stat's showed that they were not in the top 5% of defenders for pace orcould not turn as quick as Winston Reid
I think the Gooner Mag summed it up perfectly writing that the one thing we fans have lost now is hope. For me these last few years is the first period where I have been without hope in 28 years as a ST holder.
I won't abuse him but just want the season to end and him bow out.
