Conclusion (if you are a stubborn old goat who can never, ever admit when he is wrong). Play him on the left.
Welbeck comes off a blinder against the Turks. Wenger isolates him against the most effective pair in the league and kills him completely by banning passes over 2 yards and insisting everything is played to feet. Not Welbeck's fault - has he suddenly decided not to try? Manager's fault 100%. Wenger has a habit of killing our momentum, whether it's throwing a minor cup game or inviting a loss in the CL once we've secured the runner-up spot.
Cazorla is the best player on the pitch, playing in his natural role for a change. Subbed. Rightly pissed. Another player's morale sunk. Cazorla also often looks like a lazy non-entity when isolated out on the flanks.
I'm just surprised Wenger plays Ches in goal - surely he could play DM? The result might be shit but try it 1,000 times and you never know.
We got Wengered and the chavs were there to pick up the easy 3 points.
