As expected, in his post-match interview, he believed that Oxlade "had started to fatigue". If you believe that, you believe taking him off for a top attacking talent (which he thinks Arshavin is) is the right thing to do. Logic can be totally separate from being right. Your logic could be flawless and you could be making the wrong choices every time. We all agree that it's not sensible to stick to pre-conceived notions about players and have pre-meditated tactics.
If he does think so much about it, how come he always arrives at the same destination? When does it stop being logic and just become insanity as Einstein said? I don't see the logic in persuing with someone who has proven to be poor for so long. To me, it is possibly governed by something else - maybe it could be to give him as many minutes as possible as a means of advertising him for a sale. I mean, I am searching there but it is surely extremely tenuous logic to think "this time it's gonna happen!" when everything else points to the opposite being true, if he really is that smart. I'd say he's intelligent but not always smart.
