Supporters review of the season: Arsenal
There was a common view that Arsene needed to strengthen in two positions - centre-back and holding midfield. He failed to do this, and the chickens came home to roost, through lost points and cup exits.
It appears he may have been covering for the board and simply did not have enough money to buy needed players. Injuries to key men exposed the lack of depth in the squad, as those whose form was poor continued to get starting spots due to the paucity of options. Wenger has to address the issue of too many young players and sort out that imbalance in the squad. Thank God for Andrei Arshavin, the one bright spot of the season.
Which team were your best opponents?
Manchester United. They showed the true gap between potential and proven when it came down to the games that matter.
Who would you most like your team to sign this summer?
A brick outhouse centre-back who will both command his area and organise those around him
What was the weirdest/funniest moment of your season?
Surely the 4-4 draw at Anfield. Not often that you score four goals, but still fail to win.
Mark out of 10 for the season?
6.
