City is one thing but it was happening every game. It has little to do with Wenger and more to do with the mentality of the team at the time. It's quite common to see stuff like that when confidence is down or if pressure is too high like Newcastle at the back end of last season. But my point is I don't get how professional footballers can't do something as simple as mark a man or run after someone and display even a basic level of awareness.
Why are you so surprised at those performances and linking it to me tality rather than "confidence" when it was pretty much the first time we'd been out of the CL for God knows how long?
You don't think it's reasonable to assume that those performances were so poor because confidence was down during that period following being the first set of players that failed to get us CL since beforeAW joined?
