Look at Campbell, he was given far less game time than Walcott and Ox. But he grabbed his chance and took advantage of it and made himself an important player in the squad . Young English players have the habit of taking everything for granted instead of working hard to deserve their places
Don't disagree when it comes to English players, in the main. But doesn't that just make Wenger's priorities more suspect? Coquelin and Campbell were almost forced on him by the latest in a long line of injury crises including injuries to Walcott, Ox and Arteta. Does the man genuinely have a keen eye? Doesn't seem that way of late.

But anyway, he'll persist with Zero Walcott I'm sure. Eventually, eventually, we'll get more than 3 games per season out of him. Maybe.

As for complaining about the victory, I'm not. I'm pleased we won because it gives us another chance to change the whole approach we're taking to this season - which is the barest of bare minimums doctrine as ever. I'm complaining that we don't see any coherent strategy from this manager in any aspect of our game and we don't see entertaining football any more expect in isolated spasms where the likes of Ozil and Alexis haul the standard up through their own personal talent. But as a team, we really suck. The shit we play is embarrassing.
