The news is not pleasant to shake Arsenal Matchday 3 Group F ahead of the Champions League at the Stade Velodrome Marseille cons, Wednesday (19/10) or Thursday early morning hrs later. Besides the threat of exodus of players, the era of Arsene Wenger as a coach is also potentially an end. Wenger admitted his position as captain of the Gunners could be removed at any time. Because the board of directors began to fret saw Arsenal's poor performance in the Premier League. There is only one way to avoid it, which is continuing to improve the performance of his troops. Arsenal's performance today as it did not describe the current status as a top Premier League team that has been attached for years. One member of the big four that struggled this season since the competition began. In the Premier League club West London was just collecting three wins, one draw and four defeats. Arsenal had humiliated Manchester United 2-8, Liverpool 0-2, and shaved 1-2 defeat North London derby at Tottenham Hotspur cons. In fact they never give up 1-3 of Stoke City.
If not for a 2-1 victory over Sunderland last week, they could have entered the relegation zone.

Understandably Theo Walcott et al currently inhabit the top 10 standings with 10 points. The difference with Manchester City as pemuncak reach 12 points. Arsenal actually decrease performance charts have occurred since last season. But it is getting worse since the loss of stars like Cesc Fabregas who joined Barcelona or Samir Nasri to Manchester City. In fact since both are gone, they just pick one victory from the first five games this season.
That's why Wenger does not guarantee could continue to survive at the Emirates Stadium despite having served for 15 years. The management would be prepared to anticipate, usually preceded by replacing the coach. Unfortunately Wenger attempts to escape very heavy.

Though his term stay for another year. Not to mention Walcott, Andrei Arshavin and Thomas Vermaelen who apparently had not settled at the Emirates Stadium.
