Wenger really is insufferable. Gabriel could have an extra 20 games under his belt now and be well established in the back four. I don't care what Wenger sees in training, nothing could be as worrying as watching Mertesacker on the pitch.
If you don't care about what Wenger sees in training how can you assess the situation and make a fair point ? For a player to be selected in the starting line-up , it depends on his physical and mental fitness and more importantly on his performances in training . A player who does not inspire his manage's confidence in training is more likely to warm the bench .
