Arsenal vs. Manchester United. This was not how it was meant to be.
Wenger had waited God knows how long for a chance to beat United and this was their best chance in years. Louis van Gaal’s side were a wounded
animal, drained of strength by a nightmare injury list and and further stabbed by bad results that had dented their old confidence.
But the Red Devil still had its claws and Wenger’s agonising
wait goes on. To be precise, it is now 1,302 days since
Arsenal last beat United!!! Just soak that in.
That last success was on May 1, 2011 – eight meetings ago, United still wrapped up the title a week later and Arsenal finished fourth, something they’ve made a habit of doing since.
It is 1,122 days since they last defeated Chelsea and 838 since they beat Manchester City in the league.
Going back to the season after the Invincibles, Arsenal’s record against City, United and Chelsea reads: Played 63 Won 17 Drawn 17 Lost 29 For 65 Against 99.
This means they have taken 68 points from a possible 189 against the three leading title contenders during the last
decade. They simply don’t perform in the big games.
Shikena
Taking City out of the equation, they have won just eight of their last 42 matches against United and Chelsea.
In most clubs, Wenger would be out of a job by now.
Beating the likes of Burnley and Crystal Palace is all well and good but Arsenal will only end up with 4th position.
With 17 points from their opening 12 matches, this is Arsenal’s worst ever start in the Premier League and it is
remarkable the Arsenal faithful aren’t in open mutiny. Arsenal haven’t had a worse start in 32 years!
With Jurgen Klopp, long mooted as Wenger’s successor, admitting for the first time this week that he will listen to
offers from England, change must surely be afoot.
