Wenger was exposed once that good back four moved on and he didnāt have dibs on players from the French market.
Decent manager but from about 08 onwards Arsenal were largely irrelevance under him.

He went a league season unbeaten with an entirely new back four, none of whom were signed from France.

So he was gifted one defense which he moulded into a star unit, created a whole new one, with a midfielder at full back, and you, you little scrote, is giving him shit?

Well in fairness I donāt know remember much before 03 I was young.
Ya I think he is vastly overrated. Bit by bit Arsenal turned into a club happy to finish top four.
Thatās fair
Neither do I in fairness. Especially the Acid House years.

He won 3 fa cups after 08 and had them in the champions league every year until near the end. Plus he managed to get them in a new stadium debt free by not spending any money on players.

All the while playing some of the best football ever seen in England. The oil money coming into the game spoiled his plans.
Nobody cares about the fa cup and finishing in the top four is a complete nonsense barometer of nothing.
Heād a competitive team who were judged by winning titles. For a finish he was happy with a top four finish.
He lost his edge.

Iām sure Arsenal would bite your hand off for a cup and a top four finish now.
Yes by convincing people that finishing in the top four was a success.
You arenāt going to wind anyone up over Arsene Wenger son

Getting players to stop drinking pints every day of the week and to start eating pasta was probably the biggest breakthrough in English soccer since the abolition of the maximum wage in 1961.

Very good player. Could need a specific tactical setup though to get the best out of him. Needs to play off a striker.
Iād compare him to Kaka in his style.
It was hardly rocket science but itās mad to think it didnāt exist before then in any degree and them being professional footballers.
Wenger was a brilliant manager. Tailed off a bit towards the end but ultimately was one of the best managers the English league has seen.

Souness tried the same at Liverpool but the senior players werenāt having it. He couldnāt ban cans in the bus when his old teammates remembered him having cans in the bus himself.
