Very foolish team selection. Verging on idiotic. This isn't even a case of resting players for the CL, it's just Wenger being a fucking dick. Podolski was just starting to string some performances together. So why bench him. Cazorla, whether he's hot or cold, is still one of the few players we have who can pass and retain the ball. Diaby again, just nonsense. Playing him is playing right into Stoke's hands. I hope we don't image for a second we can compete with them physically. And then a wasteful Walcott and off-form Ox on the wings, why take the risk with both? Play Walcott or play Ox, but both? Can't say anything about Monreal yet, but Jenkinson must have stolen Wenger's hubcaps or something. He's been our most committed defender this year. If not against Stoke then when will he ever play? Very unlucky.
Santos on the bench. Just fuck off. Why? Jenkinson could cover for either FB. So why have that fat bastard on the bench unless there's some fucked up plan to bring him on.
Just shit. Wenger is starting to make me sick with his refusal to stick to the fucking tried and tested principles of football.
