Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always liked Arsene Wenger a lot as a coach. He had an incredibly impressive history at Arsenal: The Invincibles, the unbeaten Premier League season with Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbove all, because of his playing style. He was always someone who promoted football, who always had his teams play good football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kroos played against Wenger\u2019s Arsenal on four occasions with Bayern Munich in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arsenalinsider.com\/tag\/champions-league\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2012\/13 season, the German international scored a key goal at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arsenalinsider.com\/club\/stadium\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Emirates Stadium<\/a> as Bayern eliminated the Gunners from the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Clattenburg suggests Arsene Wenger\u2019s inability to rebuild Arsenal held him back<\/p>\n<p>The only major issue Wenger faced during his career was his inability to rebuild his Arsenal team, unlike Pep Guardiola at Man City and Sir Alex Ferguson at Man United.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about where he ranks among the greatest Premier League coaches, Clattenburg told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y_9Lj8tx8gM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Beyond the Back Four<\/a>: \u201cIf you look at the Invincible team, that season\u2019s probably one of the best seasons any football club\u2019s had. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you look at it over a long period of time towards the back end of Arsene Wenger\u2019s Arsenal career, it was slightly going downhill, and people will accept that because he wasn\u2019t as successful, certainly in terms of Premier League titles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, he did win the cup, some cups, but in general, everybody looks at the Premier League as the marker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, Arsene Wenger certainly had that period when he brought the invincibles together, but once that dismantled itself, yes, he had a good squad, but certainly one that didn\u2019t have the success like Pep did and certainly didn\u2019t have what Alex did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Join Our Newsletter <\/p>\n<p>Receive a digest of our best Arsenal content each week direct to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toni Kroos has just revealed that he was a huge fan of Arsene Wenger\u2019s teams at Arsenal, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355554,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[144035,403,99,176394],"class_list":{"0":"post-355553","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-arsene-wenger","9":"tag-soccer","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-toni-kroos"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
