Why the Liverpool thumping doesn’t mean Arsenal can’t bounce back

Agree!!!The gulf between the teams is all too apparent.on the other side results have turned bad since the somewhat settled pair CBs Holding Sokratis/Mustafi were injured/suspended.Also remember now we are done with Liverpool for this season..wish all the other teams the best against the best attacking team currently.Our target is top 4 and we can work that out with 2 good signings the january window ..a CB and a winger

The good news is, unless there are more injuries, the defence will improve with some players coming back (Mavraponas, Bellerin and Monreal and eventually Holding) ) and others getting back into game shape (Koscielny and Mustafi). The bad news is that, unless Holding continues his development and Mavraponas turns into an absolute stud) it still won’t be good enough. If Mavraponas is back soon, I’d rather us limp through until the summer rather than splash out on another mediocre CB during this transfer window. Remember, Kopp was patient before getting VVD and it did, by design or not, give Gomez a chance to get valuable game time.

Arsenal was a poorly run club for years under Wenger and Gazidis. Our recruitments have been poor, we paid too much for average players, and Wenger held unto chronically poor performing or injury prone/unreliable players for so long, wasting club finances and missing out on superior replacements who went to our rival clubs.

We got too comfortable with our Fourphy position, we became oblivious of the reality that the likes of spuds and Liverpool coverted our position.
In life, there is no stability. You are either progressing or retrogressing. Wenger and the board got to comfortable with the illusions of stability fourphy offered Arsenal, they didn’t see the undercurrent retrogression.

You see, our retrogression wasn’t a sudden event, it was insidious and chronic, and as the day goes by, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that there wouldn’t be quick fix for it, especially considering our financial handicap.
We have to get our recruitment right, we have to learn to be decisive and ruthless in rooting out poorly performing , aging or chronically injured players out, and not habour and pamper them to the detriment of the club, like Wenger did.

The Good thing about getting Wenger out, is that now, we can focus our attention on Kroenke without the Wenger distraction. Because I remember that at no point did Wenger cry out for lack of investments on players by Kroenke, Wenger was a willing accomplice, who covered up for Kroenke, while selling the BS story of the club being financially handicapped because of stadium debt repayment.
It was customary those days for Wenger to come out to say that if Arsenal found a suitable player in the transfer, then we would buy. Wenger used the loyalty the Arsenal supporters had for him to shield Kroenke and the board from direct criticism, by selling the story of Arsenal not finding suitable players at the right price at the transfer market rather than giving signs that the board were not financially backing his transfer targets.

Getting rid of Wenger became necessary, if we must get to Kroenke, as Wenger had constituted himself a shield for the regime against fans direct criticism. So for those Wenger fans who still think getting rid of him was a wrong decision, I understand they are entitled to their own opinions, but I still strongly disagree with their opinion.
Gettimg rid of Wenger was a step in the right direction. Though it doesn’t necessarily mean that Emery was the right man for the job, but it means that we now have a manager who would be judged by current results and not live off past glories acquired at the club, a decade ago.

So, yes, Arsenal will bounce back, once we get rid of Kroenke, like we did Wenger. It is a gradual process, but we will surely get there.
