Wenger: Why I’ve dropped him from team
Arsene Wenger insists a need for rest in “one or two games” is why he has chosen to drop Danny Welbeck from the starting line-up.
The England international managed to feature regularly for the Gunners after returning from a long injury lay-off in February.
However, Welbeck has missed out on a start in the past three games with the much-maligned Olivier Giroud being preferred upfront.
After watching the former Manchester United star find the net against Norwich on Sunday, Wenger has responded to critics who questioned his decision to drop Welbeck.
“Welbeck came in and played very well [on his comeback], like the players who have been out for nine months always do.” Wenger said
“You have to trust me on that, I know that well – after they come in they are super sharp and then after, against Crystal Palace, he had a very average game and looked a bit for one or two games that he paid for the physical energy he had given.
“So you let them rest one or two games and you bring them back in. [Against Norwich], when he came on, you could see he is a different animal again.”
Lame explanation?
You must have a excuses 4 that Mr manager
Leicester won one Özylin-priced team Championship! Congratulations!
What needs to be done at the club this summer?
Reasonable excuse if the player replacing him ‘isn’t’ Olivier Giroud!
Wenger out, out out out out out out out out, 2fans hanged themselves with placards saying wenger arsene killed us and arsenal
Wenger has a major contributions to the Board, they made big bucks with his policy. But there came a point where patience of the fans run out and if this policy continues, the Board will begin to lose a lot of money. But now the question is not to spend much money on expensive players, especially strikers. If Wenger remain at the helm, this will not give the expected result, most Arsenal to second place next year and play quarter final Champion League. The Board must understand that only win if they sign a new coach- Diego Simeone or Koeman from Southampton. The situation is different and hopefully the board understand in time, right now, this summer. Send Wenger with honors, it earned them 12 years ago. Call Diego Simeone. This man no wiping his nose with his hand and literally burned to the touchline when his team plays. Such a coach is needed to Arsenal. Find out that people by the Board. no time for more promises and old politics. It will not go anymore. Want to watch the Emirates empty. If you do not want is time to wake up and not tricking more.
Simeone plays deep counter attacking snoozeball and I for one would NEVER want that park the bus shitshow inside our stadium. It is sooooooooo soooooooooo boring to watch. I’ll take former Mainz genius Tuchel anytime though! Klopp 2.0 or what?
Who need his explanation?
