I just don't get the Lacazette thing, the guy scores goals and you always want to keep those kind of players on as long as possible, yet Wenger takes him off, he can pop up at any point and get you a goal but no Wenger decides he has to be sacrificed for someone else.
No other manager would do this.
I think Wenger thinks that players new to the PL, as it is generally faster paced than other leagues, need some time to get used to that which is why he doesn't play them all the time at first.
Not saying I agree with that, but I think that's his reasoning.
What makes it even more bizarre is that in general, he never subs ozil off. A guy who Mourinho managed brilliantly by always subbing him off in the Spanish league to save his legs for the next game. Ozil in the last 15-20 mins is useless, he's so fatigued he literally gives up.
Yeah I suppose we should bench them and not play our strongest team so we get thumped 4-0 at places like anfieldOriginally Posted by Letters

That was mental. No idea why he did that.
But I think that's why he's been taking him off early.
That's what I was saying. Some players are given the red zone treatment, others are worked to death. I sincerely hope we haven't paid 50 mill for a professional footballer who can't do 90 minutes. Which is what Wenger is effectively saying. And anyway, the "pace" we usually display is 2 mph, backwards and sideways.

Well to quote you earlier, it's things like that that make him seem as inept as people make him outWell, quite

If he were as inept as people make out we'd have long since dropped into mid-table, or worseWell to quote you earlier, it's things like that that make him seem as inept as people make him out
Name me 1 other manager that would have done that.If he were as inept as people make out we'd have long since dropped into mid-table, or worse
Well, Klopp had Dortmund in the relegation zone around February one season although they did recover. Mourinho had Chelsea in or close to the relegation zone before he got sacked.
Think in both cases that was the year after they were champions.
Moyes at Utd.
Plenty of managers have taken over a top 4 side and taken them in the wrong direction.
