You can't just throw a new guy in a game of such magnitude : he can be forced to make silly mistake and make the game worse or he can completely lose his confidence .
What is more frustrating is to have players who never kept their cool in the final third . Chelsea was there for the taking . Despite the sending off a better team than us should have scored at least two goals . Wenger's fault is to keep such players for so long . We need at least two more Alexis and things will change for the better . We panicked and are too naive in the final third . Just one goal was enough to win the game . At 1-1 , Chelsea would have lost confidence and surrendered .They must be surprised with the 3 points . A gift from the Emirates really .
Elneny wouldn't have lost his confidence after one game. It's too early. If he fell flat on his face after the first game it would most likely force him to try harder and know the standard of the league. If he had a good game it would really boost his confidence. We have nothing to lose by starting him.
