Decided by two moments of excellent play, but we didn't lay a punch on them really.
If Wenger has no confidence in his own players, what's the point. No momentum or continued pressure on the opposition can be created with a conservative formation which allows none of the players to excel.
And absolutely no flexibility once again to see Ozil is playing poorly and should be hauled off. It's decided that Ozil will always play wherever, whenever so players playing well will be taken off to continue the status quo. Ox must also be sacrificed for senior players despite being an unpredictable threat. It required injuries for Wenger to play a game suited to our players on Wednesday. It will take the right 11 players left standing for him to stumble upon a correct shape again.
Gibbs, Cazorla and Sanchez did quite well. Even Flamini was OK, up against Atkinson.
Boring boring Arsenal. Only Sanogo can save us now.
