It's just not working. Welbeck should have started but saying that, his miss was atrocious. But honestly, we started off bright in the first half but did nothing with it. Next step is to get Giroud out of the squad. He's had enough time now and shouldn't be given any more.

Also, our defence had a shocker. Gabriel was the worse culprit. Merts wasn't good either. Chambers and Gibbs were useless on attack and defence. All over the shop.
Appalling, appalling team selection by Wenger yet again.

We needed a ball carrier in midfield to release Ozil against a team set up to defend ... So he drops iwobi and plays two defensive midfielders.

We needed quality from our full backs to give us width and pace ... So he rests bellerin (for what? Barcelona???) and plays (a frankly abject) chambers. Gibbs on the left was little better. Why no Monreal?

We needed movement up front to test their backline and stretch the play ... So he benches welbeck and plays giroud who just stood like a lamppost all match.

And then, after sitting on his hands for 10 mins until we go 2 down, he brings Theo on and takes Campbell off.

Spineless players don't help, but we lose some games before we even kick off with wenger's madcap tactics.
