Football clubs are judged at the end of the season, not after a few games in. Anyone who is a fan of marathons understands that those who take off to an early lead aren't necessarily those who finish the race victors.
Over the past 8 years or so, we have been strapped for cash and resources all for a greater cause: to have a bigger stadium, which will generate more revenue. We have successfully gone through that transition period and are adjusting to winning trophies again. We recently won the FA cup and Community Shield to prove it.
Yes, Wenger may not get it right all the time, but in the grand scheme of things, he is doing a pretty good job so far. I don't think he is the man to take us to the next level (Klopp anyone?), but I think he has done ever so well and we should give him our full support for the next three season when his tenure will be over.
Let's get behind the team through thick and thin this season and judge them at season end. The ship is sailing now: all hands on deck!
Let's judge after the season ends.

Funny enough, I don't think Song is any faster than Arteta.

Song was garbage as well, but when he stayed disciplined he was probably marginally better than Arteta

I think Wenger will address this as a matter of priority. But playing with two holding midfielders (4-2-3-1) ensures that we are not heavily dependent on a strong DM (4-4-2)

Yes John, to an extent. And I often tell my folks no one can fire Wenger. He will leave on his own.

It should've been priority for the last two seasons, no excuses. And we don't play with two holding midfielders

Some silly comments here, Arteta does a very good job for us in certain types of games (against the smaller teams where posession is high) Flamini was the one who needed to be replaced as he is the more physical and aggressive option for the tougher games away to the big boys. We should have replaced him with a powerful midfielder who can tackle and get stuck in. Make no mistake though, this powerful player would play less than Mikel as we are superior to most teams
