What were his weaknesses at Arsenal? Some fans said they let lots of narrow games slip at home to poorer sides but I don't know how he was found wanting when it came to tactics and changes.

My mate's an Arsenal season ticket holder of many years, and he said it was a combination of things, eg:Following Wenger - a difficult job like following Ferguson at Man U.Didn't take control from the off - a bit too nice, English really not very good, openly mocked and a few problems in the dressing room, eg Ozil.Not on the same page as the owners/recruitment team, eg wanting Zaha but getting Pepe.None of which he has at Villa, plus we've got him with a few years more experience............

I think the Newcastle result has at last made the pundits sit up and notice us, this week we have probably received more publicity than any other week this season.
