The battle for the top 4

Season by season Wenger is getting worse and worse and has no clue how to motivate or with tactics.

We have a good enough squad to be in the top 4 but not with our manager

:shock: really do you believe we have a good enough squad, i look at the squad even when everyone is fit and struggle to find 4 players who i think are any good
i dont think the squad is good, but lots is to do with tactics. We are awful in every way. Even with Cesc in the team i didnt think the squad was that good but somehow we always got top 4

I hate most of our players but wenger isnt getting even half out of them.

The battle for the top 4

:coffeespit:

The only 'battling' going on in our club is between Maureen and Arteta for the hairgel.

I agree with us being average for years but not the latter.

Years of constant neglect has finally caught up so I don't think this squad is good enough for top 4. :roll: :oops:
The 1st team when fit ( :roll: ) yes maybe, but the squad is far, far too weak now.
The worrying thing is that we're talking about 4th place....The title is now automatically dismissed which is how sad thing have become.
Okay lets put it another way. If Fergie was manager this season, do you think he woukld get us in the top 4?

Lets think about his tactics and how he knows how to win games and get the MOST out of avaerage players

we didn't win fuck all with Cesc or Nasri, but they knew how to pass a ball, not like our current midfield, i like ramsey, but fuck knows how many times he gave the ball away and Arteta did jack shite, playing alongside him - comes to something when Coquelin was our best midfielder

yes because he would have addressed the weaknesses in the summer. He may know how to get the best out of his players but he has the right players in the 1st place.

So with a world class winning manager, this squad could get in top 4?

The O.P. has to be the most deluded member on here... I personally don't give a flying fuck about the top 4,5 or 6 as long as the arsehole in charge goes...

Maybe but I really doubt it given the current crop. The teams been badly neglected and has been for some years.

no chance of getting 4th this season. top 3 we all know and the fight for 4th will not include us. we are bad and will lose a record amount of games this season so lets not get all deluded here and face up to that fact.
sad as that sounds it is the truth.

If we finish outside the top 4 this season losing a record number of games, I have no doubt that Red Member will put a positive spin to it.

Dont give up lads on the top 4 finish.
With a few less bookings we could make the top 4 in the fair play league.
Never give up people :wink:

Its good to be optimistic but come on pal. Join us in the real world sometime soon.

This is a timeline of the eternal optimist as I see it, and one that I imagine you were quoting ad-nauseam. I think you can guess what date / arsenal event applies to each quote.
