The French manager must accept the blame after his second string side were dismantled in another disastrous defensive performance away from home
'Three FA Cups in four years'. This is the automated response of those who believe Arsene Wenger is the right manager for Arsenal.
On a chilly Sunday afternoon in Nottingham, even the Frenchman's most ardent supporters will have been struggling to defend him after his second string side were dumped out of the cup in a shambolic third round performance.
The 4-2 defeat means that Wenger won't make it four FA Cups in five years - and indeed in a few days another domestic cup exit could be on the cards as the Gunners face Chelsea in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash at Stamford Bridge.
