Isolated Wenger left to carry can

To borrow a famous line from a GAA match report printed in this paper, Bayern Munich appear to have driven the final nail in Arsene Wenger’s coffin of hope, writes Larry Ryan.

In the days since hope was buried, Arsene has stopped short of delivering to himself the dreaded vote of confidence. It remains to be seen if he will give himself the sack.

That it is being left to Wenger to make those decisions probably says more about any sense of hopelessness and inertia at Arsenal than his own work.
