Wenger still deluded as he claims we've 'stopped the rot'

Let's be realistic - This was a lucky point against an average Man.City side at home.

It was far from the great recovery that Arsene Wenger would have you believe, meanwhile he still refuses to make any statement on his future at the club.

He said:

"Mathematically, it's not the best operation today, not for City and not for us. But we have the confidence gained and we have to restart now. We started with a high level of anxiety and were punished straight away. Overall I felt it was a mental test and overall you could see the team was touched on the confidence front. The fluency of our game suffered."

"We have shown great mental resource. The worst time in a football game to concede is just before half-time. On top of that, we lost Koscielny and in the second half we came back to 2-2."

"Overall it will help us to build confidence because the players certainly showed some mental strength and that will help us to come back to our natural fluency."

In fact we were average - defensively frail, poor in midfield, and largely ineffective up front. 

Meanwhile, protests continued outside the ground, and incredibly Arsenal fans were fighting amongst themselves both inside and outside. if this continues we're likely to remain a laughing stock.

We're in sixth place, eighteen points behind leaders Chelsea. Yes we have the FA Cup to play for, but frankly this is no consolation to the vast number of fans that would like to see us challenging for greater things.

When will Wenger clarify his position?
