Petr Cech has massively underperformed in recent games but he is not the only one. Not too long ago, fans were criticising the purchase of Granit Xhaka, Shkodran Mustafi and Gabriel Paulista.
The first of the trio has gone on to improve his game as a midfielder while Gabriel left to join Valencia before the season began. If the plan was to not use Gabriel as a long-term replacement for Per Mertesacker or Laurent Koscielny, why did Wenger choose to buy him?
The French manager has often been criticised for being unwilling to spend too much money on players. He selects players only if he thinks their price tags suit them. Gabriel left Arsenal after a disappointing short stint and has now gone on to thrive under Valencia.
Mustafi, the other centre-back, who joined Arsenal remains one of the team's regular starter. The German's recent showings, like Cech, have been horrible and unacceptable. Their mistakes and irregular performances have cost the Gunners many points throughout the season. In this season alone, the keeper has made six errors which led to goals and conceded on 45 times, the most he has ever had.
Wenger has been unable to identify the right players that the team needs and seemed to be buying on an impulse at times. The club needs a new manager who is clear about who he wants and needs.
