    Chamberlain should not have been on the pitch, in my view he was selected as we are trying to appease him, to persuade him to sign a new deal as an integral part of the first team.

    To me that is “shoehorning”.

    His selection in the first place necessitated the Spanish moving to left back. Instead of one of our left backs, or naturally left sided defensive options.

    Wenger said He often plays young Hector on the left and it's no big deal. Maybe He means "in training", or have I not been paying attention?
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Wenger is full of shíte.

    He always has been, we were just willing to overlook it most of the time before now.

    He increasingly just looks like a cock now when he opens his mouth.

    More annoyingly he's doing that thing where he refuses to sign someone until it's too late

    First choice back 3 would be Holding-Kos-Mustafi but Gabriel has gone, Chambers seemingly not wanted even though he would thrive in a back 3, Mertersacker won't be able to play a stack of games if called upon (Europa League) and Monreal would be far better on the left hand side of the 3.

    Please tell me he ain't contemplating Elneny or Maitland Niles back there.

    I've said some crazy sh it back in the day...like Sagna should play on goal but f u c k me Elneny in the Tony Adams role looool

    Elneny is good lad but he ain't the new Matthias Sammer...that's what Wenger wants a ball pkatong attack minded centre half.

    Wouldn't mind cashing in on Alexis if we got ol Virgil in there.

    it's so beyond a joke now...if you've got only one fit center half you trust in...don't play a back 5. Is that so ****ing hard to work out?

    Was the Leicester game not a big clue?
