There has been an intense clamor to remove Arsene Wenger as the manager of the Arsenal Football Club for a while. The reason that has been cited is his lack of ambition to win trophies for the club. It has almost reached a tipping point where he is being severely castigated for Arsenal's shock loss to Blackburn last Saturday in the fifth round of the FA cup.
I don't think the question here is a lack of ambition. Arsene very clearly wanted his best team to play Bayern Munich in the midweek fixture because he has ambitions of doing well in the Champions League, maybe even to the extent of winning it, however over-ambitious it may sound. He has prioritized the Champions League over the FA Cup, which speaks of his desire to win bigger and better things. Unfortunately, his desire and the team's abilities are somewhere not in sync, and it's causing much heartburn among supporters.
We are neither here, nor there. Stuck between the ordinary and the good. Let's see how the season pans out.
