Guess they have to outscore their opponents from now on, i think their attacking play will improve.

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

Defense was not the problem with Wilmots. We did not concede often with him as a manager. Wales was obviously the exception since Alderweireld was the only serious defender left (No Kompany, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Lombaerts, ...). Problem was having no tactical plans, especially when behind against a defensive opponent. 

Martinez won't be worse. Considering we can't pay the absolute top managers (Wilmots only made 600.000 euro a year), this is not too bad.

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

At least Martinez has 7 years of PL experience. Wilmots had 3 months of losing games in the Jupiler League experience.

Didn't see that coming..

Really don't understand why Arsenal didn't stay in London for the summer. Could have invited a few Championship clubs at the Emirates, trash them and get over with this pre-season. They had to move from country to country to play a bunch of losers from Norway and League 2 in France, plus a "team" full of old timers playing in MLS. Think Wenger was against playing top opposition, was afraid that the "Wenger Out" crew would be out in full force from August.
