Talk about jumping to conclusions.
It was a difficult afternoon for Arsenal fans. Losing to your arch rivals is tough. Losing 1-0 and watching your £52m substitute striker miss several late chances to equalise is agonising. It was a case of the same old problems for Arsenal, who looked threatening at times but were sloppy at the back and were lucky not to concede more than one.
The usual complaints about Arsène Wenger were aired, with many fans stating that this must be his final year at the club. We've heard it all before.

While former Arsenal player and current 'pundit' Paul Merson believes Arsenal should look to replace Wenger with Conte, the fans are getting a bit excited over a different Italian manager.
Carlo Ancelotti attended the North London Derby today at Wembley and yes, you guessed it, Arsenal fans now think he's nailed on to be their next manager.

Ancelotti is currently without a job after Bayern Munich left him go earlier in the season due to a poor run of form, and there are very few top class managers available for Arsenal to hire, should they look to replace Wenger.
A lot of fans might have read a bit too far into this tweet, going by these replies.

Even if Ancelotti were to replace Wenger, Arsenal would not be rid of their problems. Part of the reason he left Bayern was because players were dissatisfied with the overly relaxed nature of his training sessions. Tactically his Bayern side were predictable.
Ancelotti is a manager in the same mould of Wenger. Arsenal might see a slight improvement, but the Italian is not the solution to their multiple problems.
