When offering advantage shouldn't the ref take into consideration

Coquelin actually made a couple of fine tackles. I'd rather have Debuchy as a stand-in but he played 90 on Thursday. When Wenger writes his book perhaps he'll explain why he spent £52m on a striker he didn't use that much.

Yes I suspect MD was not a viable option because of his many injuries, now Elneny is not as easy to understand.

The absence of Lacazette had me swearing out loud and being told off for it. Just don’t get it myself but who are you or I to question AW etc. Hindsight being a marvellous thing altogether would allow us to suggest Sanchez should not have played but then if you don’t play him he might get upset and not sign the new deal waiting for him in his agent’s office.

Didn't watch the game, only highlights, but seemed strange to not go with what worked at Chelsea.

Wenger out

We ran out of central defenders apparently. Injury, illness; that sort of thing.

Apart from the two players on the bench who have played there in europa league games. It was a baffling decision.

At least I get the lacazette decision even if I think it's absurd.

Yeah, but if you have no actual specialists, all bets are off, I reckon.

Agree about #LacaWasteOfMoney though

Debuchy is arguably far closer to being a specialist than the other two. And far better at it. It would also have allowed Koscielny to stay in the centre of the three.

We would still have lost, obviously.
