Elneny should be playing. Needs to be tested at a higher level and so far he has a better sense of how to distribute the ball and better positioning. We already know Flamini can't do that and Ramsey hasn't done it all season. Despite the lack of creativity, it didn't feel like we struggled to get the ball into the final third and keep the pressure in their own half for once.
Yes, in the middle. Out wide he is more effective and helps stack out our midfield a bit more too, as he did when we were playing much better from the start of 2015. Playing him there against Spuds also saw us become a bit more solid because of that. We always need bodies in this squad, given the rate we pick up injuries. If Wenger puts more faith in Iwobi, then we might negate that problem.
Wenger again almost cocky about his job, he knows his position well:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35760378Against Hull, some Gunners fans held up a banner reading "Arsene, thanks for the memories but it's time to say goodbye".
Wenger said: "There's nothing disappointing for me, I do my job. Look at the history of the club and you will see that I have nothing to be scared of."
And that's it in a nutshell. Noone is denying his past success or his efforts to leave the club on a solid footing, but he can and should be judged on the present, not the past and I'm sick of Wenger taking the view that history is an excuse for his present failings. Messianistic or what?
