Love these 2 really hope they're kept in the summer but is anyone noticing a slight theme amongst the 2? When I saw them together in the post match interview. I sense unrest especially when Santi revealing he knows 'what Podolski is capable of and our understanding is evident in training' I think Santi is also in disagreement with Poldi's substitutions or maybe wants Poldi up front, maybe I'm reading too much into it but I sense discontent with the manager from these 2. Both came at the club at the same time and might be disappointed with what they've achieved in contrast to what they expected. When Poldi first came he revealed his desire to win trophies and when Santi came I'm sure he believed his presence would have encouraged RVP to stay having had his cry for 'ambition/direction' responded too.
Poldi has an issue with being substituted while Santi now questions the clubs ambition but these questions refer back to the manager who I just sense the 2 have a problem with at the minute. Both have a chip on their shoulders however if performances such as last night is the way they're gonna go about proving their points then nobody will be complaining.
Just an observation

The manager makes the decisions as to who plays and where at a football club.
The players either work harder or ask to leave.
If football gets to a point where players are telling the manager who to pick it will be a sad day

Santi knows. Pod knows. Ozil knows. Every one in the squad knows. The only person that doesn't know (or want to know) is Wenger.
Giroud is a sack of shít and shouldn't play upfront.

I think they don't believe in the manager.
Don't be surprised to see either demand to leave in the summer.

A player like Poldi can't be blamed for feeling some type of way when getting taken out early but seeing Sanogo/Giroud complete games instead . It's not like recent results have justified Wenger's thinking either

Look at Poldi's celebrations last night compared to how he's celebrated after scoring before (the Arsenal fb page showed a short reel of the last game vs West Ham and he went ballistic). Last night, his celebrations (if you can call them that) reminded me of Ramsey's when he put 2 past Cardiff... it was as if he (Poldi) used to play for West Ham and therefore didn't want to celebrate. The guy isn't happy.

OP got a point, but I won't read into Santi and Poldi's body language too much ATM. It could be a one time thing, or it could be their frustration of playing another bad game.
