Question, is it time to push the panic button or has it been thoroughly worn out by now?
Personally, I'm a little hesitant to press the the panic button as the media and certain sections of the supporters always over hype things. However, I am becoming rather scared at the situation.
It's interesting because I wasn't overly frustrated with this weekend's result and I don't think it's because I'm getting use to Arsenal pulling this so often. I'm starting to believe this squad has enough in it to do the job and could AT LEAST pull a Top 4 finish. What I'm losing more and more faith in is Wenger's ability to organize this squad and bring out the best in them. For instance, I was thinking to myself what could SAF do with this squad?
I'm still not completely in the "Wenger Out" camp and I think the largest reason is worries about the ability of the next gaffer to continue Arsene's great work with the club's setup, player development system, and philosophy. However, if the system and mindset is deeply entrenched at the club my worries might be misplaced because, for example, look at Barca. At times they can have a revolving managerial door but La Masia continues strong.
It is a poor period at the Emirates but a very important one as well.
