Sumin’s Stance: Many people call for a change in the Wenger sytem

Sumin Kim, Columnist

In Premier League 25R, Swansea City shocked Arsenal by defeating them 3-1. Arsène Wenger, manager of Arsenal, is probably consoling himself from the last few great matches by Arsenal.

In recent years, Wenger was always in danger of getting sacked and being turned against by fans because of the low performance of Arsenal. Fans started to use word “wexit” which is “Wenger + Exit” to show the anger for the lack of trophies Wenger’s Arsenal won.

In my opinion, within one or two season, Wenger should retire or move to other club.

Few reasons are first he doesn’t have innovation anymore like he did in 1996 when he was signed for Manager of Arsenal. For the most of time tactics Wenger’s Arsenal never changed while winning no trophies aka “Same Old Ar- senal”. But thankfully, that has been changed in recent years by Wenger using three in the back. But that was it.

His football tactic gets many denounces by public. Wenger likes to create beautiful and perfect goals, so most of the times his perfectionism wastes good chances.

For example, in Swansea City game, Arsenal had 74.3% of possession, yet they had only nine shot while Swansea City having 12. This pattern of having useless possession has been continuing throughout Wenger’s years in Arsenal.

Based on past few years, Arsenal need changes to go to where they belong in league table. Wenger said, “Managers always have to be an innovator.” Before other transfers, Arsenal have to change the Wenger system which continuous fails of same obvious pattern.
