I would think the fact that he has only had one training session probably featured in the decision.
Bit annoyed he didn't give one of the young defenders a game. Do Gabriel and Saliba really need to be there?
I assume this Bakayoko geezer is already valued at ****ing fortunes? He looks pretty great.
The game is worth nothing other than money.
Very strange subs by Arteta. It’s a great opportunity to give the kids a run out and he throws on the big guns ?
I really can’t understand the rationale
****ing annoying, to be honest. Declan Rice at centre back.
Gents, please be serious. It's the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE; ALL the players want to play in it. That's why we want them, it's why they join us.

That's true too, of course. Nothing wrong with that. That's why they don't really mind coming on for just a few seconds at the end; they get "appearance" money.
Also, especially in this competition, the exposure is priceless. The bigger domestic leagues are alright but people tend to concentrate on their own team whereas the whole of Europe pays attention on CL nights.

A dead rubber is a dead rubber, even when stuck on the end of a beautiful pencil.
Very good. That's true for supporters perhaps, but not for clubs and managers.
And as for the players; they've done the hard work, dealt with all the pressure and the hard games and now they can just relax and enjoy it. Get an easy win maybe, some cheap points and cheap goals and people suddenly want them rested! That simply doesn't happen at any level in any sport.
I gather nowadays, the young people call it "stat-padding", a most insulting, derogatory term, in my view. As though Gerd Muller scored all of his thousand goals against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Brazil.
Your best players demand to play EVERY game, ESPECIALLY the easy ones with no stress. Sod the stiffs and the kids. Their time will come, if they're any good.
