Wenger word are nonsense/bullshit and ,The Liverpool game was a good example that the Arsenal players played with Zero enthusiasm,Zero Zest or want to win simply because the majority of the players want out/away from AW/Arsenal.Loyalty was zero as they played like cowards/no fighting spirit.That team need a 75% change and those players that do not want to be there or even show a hint that they are lazy thinkers or lack of loyalty must be disposed of as a virus.this effects the rest of team.Lets face it nothing is going to change and we got 2yrs to endure this Arsenal soccer of wishfull thinking.The Alex Ferguson attitude must be taken with even more drastic steps.
