Maybe you could lend us the plane you used to fly the banner over the stadium
TBH I agree somewhat agree with the OP I was going to write on this yesterday.
Wenger has actually assembled a very good squad IMO but he seems to have lost his touch, he cant get them to function at their best as a team and play to their strengths also he is tactically inept. Maybe he has always been like this and just allowed his teams to play the way they want to but in this modern day Premier League you cant get away with that anymore. Times have changed a lot. Also, we don't have so many match winners/stars who can carry us through games, this team will only function well as a coherent unit, especially also with a fairly weak defensive unit still (including defensive midfield).
The other thing, everybody seems to have our number and to some degrees many teams own us, they don't dominate us but they know how to beat us. Just let us have our normal 65-75% possession in games without much end product and then just counter us and take us apart on the break. Doesn't that sound familiar?
The squad is quite good. We're obviously some quality players short of having a great team. But with the players we have a manager should be getting much better out of them. We've struggled in every match. Yes there's injuries, but we're losing to basic mistakes and tactical errors.
Even with our injuries, there's no excuse for our start. We still have a squad full of internationals. It's just not acceptable.

He's assembled a squad without a top class GK, only 6 defenders, no quality defense minded midfielder and no decent strikers.
The funny thing wenger knew koscienly has an Achilles problem before the season started but still failed to address the defensive issues
Arsenal's wins this season have been against the current 15th, 16th 17th and 18th best teams in the league
KOS is just not the problem, Mert is to slow and although Chambers shows a lot of promise his not ready yet at the top level IMO.
Wenger will say the quality wasn't there to bring in a defender. Thing is we didn't even need top quality just a decent CB for cover. But wenger would rather prove to everyone he is a genius and that Monreal and chambers out of posstion will prove to be a master stroke.
You'd think we could have got someone decent on loan even, just to paper over until we can buy someone of better quality. Southampton managed to get Alderweireld on loan, something like that would be perfect for the time being at least. There must be a better solution than trusting 2 out of posstion players. Other clubs manage to find decent players.
Wenger's the only manager who plays the same fking way every game, he doesn't change things quickly enough during a match, every fking manager has sussed him out even gary monk a 34 year old manager. Even switch things up drastically who walk out of the club and let simeone come in.
the manager is holding us back, we know.
Agreed we have a decent squad, not the best but it's good. Manager just can't utilise it.
you know what is quite funny, nobody mentions how much we have missed Ozil, speaks for itself really!
We have not run him out of the club because too many fans over the years have foolishly believed he could do no wrong and were living on past glories. They shamelessly put Arsene above Arsenal. I think even the seriously deluded have woken up now though. Hopefully this will be Wenger's last season and the club can start rebuilding form the mess we are in.
