Anyone got a logical explanation as to why Chamakh is still being used as a sub when we have players like OX, Park in form?
Why is our most expensive signing of the summer not even in the squad when Wenger said 'We’ve bought [Alex] Chamberlain, you’ll see that he’ll be a great player' when talking about replacing Nasri and Fab. Surely if he can't bring more to the team than Chamakh atm he can't be worth the money we paid.
What gets me is Wenger always talking up youth but when someone like OX is in brilliant form albeit from the u21's hes nowhere to been seen, i'm not too bothered about Dortmund because of the magnitude of the game but against Swansea? He can come on when were getting smashed at Old Trafford but not against Swansea at home?

Glad everyones looking forward to Park.. I hope Arsenal is the right place for him!
Also I can't work out, was Santos brought on at left wing last night? Like when traore was brought on against Udinese. We've played 2 left backs for the final third of the game in both european matches?

I think it was so they could double up as Gibbs was being taken to pieces by them on that side

With regards to Ox Wenger knows what he is doing. As impatient as we may be as fans, Wenger has to manage the lad with his best interest at heart.
There are so many reasons not rush him into the first team too soon even at 15 mins a game.

So we were essentially 5-3-2? Sorry I just couldn't watch the game last night and I've been looking forward to Santos getting some game time so I was a little confused when he came on for Gervinho with Gibbs still on!

Well said machinegooner, just because he is tagged with a large price tag for such a young player people expect him to play in the first 11. We need to let him develop at his own rate, no need to rush him into anything.

Hes tripe.. Waste of wages.. Park should be ahead of him in the pecking order..

Normally I would agree with you but he got over 20 mins at Old Trafford in an 8-2 demolition and Wenger said he and Gervinho were replacements for Nasri and Fab. So you replace world class players with someone that's not ready for Swansea at home?

OP, I said the exact same thing watching the game last night. If we spent the money then they should be playing coming off the bench- they will not improve or adjust if they are not playing first team football!

Oh and by the way Gibbs is poo! terrible defender and lazy, oh and Walcott might as well stayed at home to!
