I wonder if it’s more out of habit than anything else. For many on here, they only know a dysfunctional Arsenal where we were always on the brink of disaster. The way they process things they see will adhere to that. It’s a different shade of what I think about people like Neville, who cannot see the team in front of him because of what he’s learned from the club in a different era.
We’ve came a long way in a short space of time and how many fans have adapted their thinking accordingly? I still see fans talk about a first 11, they speak as if fringe players offer absolutely nothing, or being benched for a period means the end for a player. Maybe this is just part of the change, and some won’t get it until we win the league when it can be undeniable.
I think it’s more wilful desire than habit. Or just pure, “I’m an online fan, I don’t actually watch games”
