We speak in defence of Arsene Wenger, and why Arsenal Football Club would do better to stick with him in turbulent times.
I am planting my flag. I am drawing my line in the sand. I am #WengerIn. There, I said it.
I am certainly in the minority here. In fact, I very well might be on my own. Most Arsenal fans, pundits, journalists, bloggers, Piers Morgan, what’s-his-face from Arsenal Fan TV; all seem to agree that Wenger’s time is up. He’s lost it. He’s no longer the great innovator he once was. The game has caught him up, and passed him by. He is tactically inflexible. His teams can’t defend corners. They can’t do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke.
I know criticisms of Wenger aren’t all without merit. He is not the perfect manager. He has weaknesses – weaknesses that have become more apparent this season than any other.
