4. Fix Thomas Vermaelen
What happened to Thomas Vermaelen? Ignoring an injurious 2010/11 campaign, the Belgian centre back scored a combined 13 league goals in his first two full seasons at Arsenal. When fit, he was a mainstay on the backline. He was even named team captain after Robin Van Persie's departure. Nowadays you're more likely to find him on the sidelines warming the bench. Sure, he had a few defensive missteps last season that caused him to lose his place, which
he admitted he deserved, but to put your captain in the doghouse for so long is the wrong way to instill confidence. Once he's fit, Wenger needs to find a way to get Vermaelen on top of his game again, and that means returning him to the starting XI.
