That and also when we’d control possession in their zone but had no incisiveness or spark in our attack and would just roll the ball around their box with no idea of what to do against a low block.

Nobody was desperate or even thinking about a title during those years. We were scraping CL qualification most years. The issue was our football became pretty dire and uninspired with the horseshoe of death. Wenger was also quite stubborn at that point and it was clear we were not going to improve with him, that a change had to happen and he wasn’t willing let that change happen which led to the Wenger out stuff. Clearly still a legend and I think even the Wenger Outs love him (myself included), but those seasons were brutal.
