Gunning for Arsene

Jitters for Arsene

What constitutes a crisis in the mind of Arsene Wenger? The most introspective manager in the Premier league is ready to weld the axe on his players after, er… not losing at home?

The 4-4 draw with Spurs showed Arsenal for what they are this season – probably going to finish fourth and make the last four in Europe if they’re lucky.

Their frail back four allied with an impression that ‘they don’t like it up ‘em’ puts the Gunners down as a side going through yet another season of transition.

In the post match interview, Wenger spoke of an awesome Arsenal performance – well, they did score four – but not once credited Spurs’ for their never-say-die attitude. The one thing his team lacks.

The defeat to Hull at the Emirates no longer looks like the result of the decade.

Meanwhile Chelsea are going about their business and Man Utd are shaking off their early season stupor.

So it’s Liverpool who look like the surprise package of the season. But hand on heart, you reckon Benitez’s boys can keep this up for the remaining 28 games?

No, not us either.
