Even Barcelona – pioneers of the Cruyffian style of football – aren't the same. Simplicity in style isn't working in football. There is no Xavi, there is no Xabi Alonso, there is no Paul Scholes. Football is changing. Much like it always has over the span of a few decades.
Pep Guardiola took Barcelona to the summit but even he knew he couldn't replicate it at Bayern Munich. A football style – much like most of life’s finer things – has a due date. Yet, there are those who will believe in it so wholeheartedly that they think they can succeed where no one else has.
You could lay the blame for Arsenal's failure on Arsene Wenger but he's the only one who thinks the club has it in them to do well when the world is against them. If not for Wenger, I highly doubt a chunk of current Arsenal supporters would pick the North London club.
