Did you meet him and he refused a selfie with you or something? :unsure:

Does your manager make home visits if you're sick for a week?
Is he that sick? He's been off since after Boxing Day and won't feature in the next game either? Odd choice of words from Wenger as well.
If he's not come in to training then why would Wenger have seen him? Who knows, maybe he's updating his CV and creating a LinkedIn profile.
We don't need him anyway so what's the issue?
I don't know I thought it was a penalty, Xhaka barged him off the ball
What was most sickening about it was how he was able to just power through our entire midfield before being shoved over in the first place.
I think the third goal was a foul but yes I agree that Bellerin put himself in the position by being ponderous, let's not pretend that even if the goals were dubious that we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot for them. They had the hunger and the energy where as we looked like we couldn't be bothered. The fact that we came back into the game only highlights how bad we were for being 3-0 down in the first place. The defence was poor but there was nothing in midfield by way of conpeting for the ball and we didn't muster a shot on target until Sanchez's header in the 70th minute.
The players have to look at themselves for performing like that and the manager needs to look at himself for seeing what he did in the first half and not believing we needed to make any changes at half time.
Turning what should have been an easy three points into a capitulation where the players had to be shamed into a performance by the away fans, is being spun into a heroic fight back by the manager.
Who knows. I've had a rotten cold for a week, I worked the last three days last week and tried to power through but just crashed out at the weekend and still feel wretched now. So if Ozil has anything like what I have I can appreciate why he's no closer to coming back.
On the other hand, who knows this could be a Wenger illness caused by the contract situation.
If Bellerin even had a slight knock going into that game then why play him at all? I don't get Wenger's rotation policy. He moans his tits off about the schedule and makes changes to the team as a result, then he goes and starts a player who might not be 100%. And what the fuck happened with Coquelin? Is it really just bad luck that these players can't last 5 minutes? We've already seen this with Ox this season, Gibbs every season and every player in the team seems overly susceptible to these "muscle injuries". I thought we'd brought somebody in to fix this problem, or does Wenger do that guy's job for him too?
No problems with the ref yesterday. Some of the calls were 50/50 but nothing blatant. Their red was a bit harsh, the pen could be considered a bit soft but Xhaka was so clueless in that situation. The shove on Bellerin was a good old fashioned barge and Bellerin was super weak. Problem is, those are always blown against us when we do it, so that's where the frustration comes from.
