This isn't a banker game by any stretch. We've been here before. If we're worried about mileage clocked by key players then send them out and get the job done early. Then bench them. The other way around is way too risky for us. We send on the second stringers and they tip tap it around and create zero chances. Then the first stringers have to chase a game in which the opposition has already gained confidence and have something to hang onto. Much harder doing it that way around. Instead show the opposition the team that hammered them last time, defeat them in the tunnel before the game kicks off like we used to. The last time conservatism worked for Wenger was 2006, which also marked the start of the downward spiral in our football. Now there are flickers of effective football being seen on a fairly regular basis, don't stifle it again. We should be approaching the game against the spuds expecting to win, not shitting it that players might get injured. The mentality is all wrong.
