That kind of scrutiny is the flip side of earning an obscene salary, in many ways off the back of gate receipts

If you can't hack it, find something else to do. That's the crucible where you burn away the wastrels and leave behind only the best.

If you're a player don't whinge about it, either improve your showing or move on.
Whether I like it or not isn't the issue. The issue is do we want Arsenal to win games? We are Arsenal fans, yes? So I guess we do.
So is doing something during the game to a player who is already struggling and which visibly makes a player play even worse helpful? Is it aligned with our hope that we win games?
It's a pretty simple logic. And yes, I agree it's part and parcel of earning £100k a week, players will get more scrutiny. But that doesn't make it a helpful thing to do.
