Wenger needs to bring order to Arsenal’s naive tactical chaos

There was a time in my career when even as a Tottenham fan I felt that Arsene Wenger was a bit special. Today I feel, probably like Wenger feels, that he is oh so close from putting it all together. The trouble is that he just can’t find the right formula, writes The Secret Footballer.

But the people you look up to will generally let you down anyway. Or worse, they’ll stay the course and other people will jump on the bandwagon and claim to have been driving it from the start. I hate that. Spotting talent is tough. Sticking with it is tougher. Sooner or later it’ll bite you.

Arsenal’s results this season are what Donald Trump’s social media manager might call a triumph of consistency. The human beings in the room might agree that if by consistency, you mean a shambles. All over the place, a mess. A disgrace? Possibly.
