Wenger won't play Sanchez there anymore, it's totally crazy TBH.

Yeah, it makes no sense at all. Sanchez was a goal threat and creative source and that's been blunted. Blunting his creativity by shunting him wide effects other players too. Stupid decision I can't understand.

Wenger on 14/04/2017:

‘He plays with an aggressive attitude. Fortunately, he’s a player who likes to touch the ball a lot.

‘He prefers to play wide than up front. He can get more of the ball. He has to keep the balance between providing and goalscoring.’

This is what Sanchez said about his switch upfront...

"I like it as a centre forward because I can get involved in the play more," Sanchez told Arsenal's official website
"I have the chance to drop deep a little bit more and that means I can link up with my team-mates more. .

Wenger's not going to waste time considering what the player has to say. Wenger knows best.

He was in the red zone upfront and was playing with the handbrake on.

He lacked a bit freedom to play within his own spirit and mentality.

WENGER ON LUCAS PEREZ FUTURE

Lucas Perez is available for selection, but his Arsenal future is not certain...

“He is again fit. He was back in training yesterday.

“He’s a top quality striker but I couldn’t give him the games he wants and deserves, I confess that. I feel a bit sorry for him.”

Asked about a Spain return for Perez, Wenger said: “If I am the manager I would love to keep him but we have to sit down and see if he has a realistic chance to play.”

Wenger really doesn't see things the way most people do. Scoring goals every time you play is not enough to convince him you're a good striker. You need to contribute in other ways like Giroud does.
