Cazorla and Ozil funny sketch. Giroud and Ramsey out for another week at least…

Morning all.

Poor old Arsene Wenger, the questions over him taking on the England job simply won’t go away. Even if he decides to leave when this season ends, if I was him, I’d steer well clear of taking over the international team. Whoever eventually gets the job on a permanent basis will always struggle because the players simply aren’t a team. They are a bunch of individuals who think they are better than they really are. He clearly watched both of the England matches as when talking about Theo’s performance he said: “One of his main qualities is his runs so it depends on the service he gets.” And lets face it, he had no service whatsoever….

So far this season he’s been involved a lot, defending, attacking and scoring goals and that’s not only down to his new attitude, but he’s playing together with better footballers and players who believe in him. As many of us have said this week, he’d be better off quitting international football all together and concentrate on his club career.

During Arsene’s press conference, he confirmed both Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey will be out for at least another week, Carl Jenkinson returns from injury tonight for the under 23’s and amid all the transfer speculation surrounding Hector Bellerin, he’s going nowhere anytime soon:

“He has nearly three years to go, we always try to get the players to the [financial] level where we think they deserve to be. We will try to extend his contract, his long-term future is here.”

Perhaps that will put an end to all the transfer talk, for a while anyway….

I’d imagine the only doubt for Saturday’s match is Alexis Sanchez. Not because of injury of course but the fact that he’s been in South America, played two full matches, the last being yesterday evening so after a long flight home today, he’ll be shattered. But as we all know, Alexis doesn’t like being subbed, let alone left on the bench so it’s a tough call for Arsene Wenger, especially with a Champions League fixture just a few days later.

Tough decisions for Arsene Wenger to make after this international break but at least Lucas Perez is back fit and raring to go as is Francis Coquelin. Better still though, is none of the Arsenal players picked up an injury whilst away with their respective countries.

Enjoy…….
