Laca still didn't look happy at being subbed yet again. No giroud this time but anyone will do. Still don't see the point of this pointless charade.

Especially when he could really do with a goal. Just don't get it.

Stoner, the guy works his socks off for the team had a hand in two goals and gets ouykt off every game for no reason at all. I bet he is really chuffed.

There have been times when I’ve wanted us to bring someone on to protect a lead but it doesn’t seem to matter how the games going, Lacazette gets hooked.
Coquelin was brilliant next to Cazorla when he first came back but know seems to have forgotten what his job is and ends up high up the pitch all the time, something he never really did before.

I don't have an issue with bringing on protection but for me it had to be Ozil who came off, not Lacazette. If you completely remove your offensive threat you just hand the momentum to the other team, which is exactly what happened in the last 10 minutes. Leaving Sanchez and Laca as a front two would have left a more potent threat IMO. I have said before, i just don't understand why players who are about to leave the club get to play 90 mins and a player you have just signed is constantly subbed first? Also, for me, Elneny works much harder when he comes on a sub, and would be my choice in front of Coquelin.

EG Wenger played the ox against the team he knew he would be selling him too the next day. Left our top scorer on the bench and we all wonder why there is so many problems at this football club. Piss the new boys off ( Lacazette and Kolasinac ) but keep the under achievers, bellarin and xhaka on at all cost, even though they are part of the problem we let so many goals in. Plus I've got no respect for a guy who can't even zip a coat up.

I still get angry thinking about the season he kept playing Flamini instead of Diara who'd only just got to the club, Diara go pissed off and left as he knew he was the better player, and Flamini jumped ship to Milan anyway.
