He's shattered. There is absolutely no excuse for it from the club, he should have only just returned to the team.
Probably won't reach anywhere near last seasons form as we've been left too short on options to rest him now.
I agree, Ron. The lose to West Ham forced him to come back to the starting line up early. He should be benched for few weeks and play the Ox.
The next stage is the fatigue injury to rule him out for half the season. Arsenal football club for you, a shambles in many ways.
And Campbell and Ox can barely get a game between them.
He needs to be taken away from the left flank as the league has caught on to his cutting in.
It's just too predictable now and I'd want us to involve him less in our build up play.
He's still fantastic on the counter, but running into 4 central players over and over again is getting a little old.
I feel we need a reshuffle.
Santi - Alexis - Ozil
Mr. Backheel - Coq
He was given a test but still game back early. His work rate is great but there's a point where it gets too mich. A minor injury might be a good thing for him. Would give him a good 2/3 weeks rest that he needs
Thing is, you know Arsenal, if he gets a 2 to 3 week injury it will end up a 23 week injury.
I've never started a season so desperate for the January transfer window, even if we know we won't buy anybody!
I think if we thought he was actually fit he'd get more criticism but Wenger said he wouldn't start the season I assumed he meant he'd be rested for more than half a game but obviously Wenger cares more about his ego than his players health illustrated again yesterday by leaving an injured Coquelin on until half time.
He has become a very predictable player now.
Always cutting in on his right. He has wasted some key chances for us this season
I don't think he has become predictable at all. Messi and Ronaldo are also predictable then . He is just knackered and suffering from our poor start.
You don't go from a world class season to being predictable that easily.

you tell him.
It's a worry though not having scored one goal and we're in September
he has been unlucky. Hit the woodwork a few times and some top saves. They were going in last season but not yet this season. Goals will come

Have you ever watched Messi or Ronaldo? Players have no idea what way they are going to go. And even when they are predictable they have a superior technique and awareness than Alexis which allows them to pull off amazing moves. Closer ball control, better balance, more intelligence, and more accurate passing if they have no option to score.
Robben would have been a more apt comparison but again he was just a master of his trade. Alexis isn't.
Yeah I think he is probably a bit tired and just in bad form. I don't think it'll last long, he's to much of a good player to now suddenly flop. Confident of he gets a goal he'll get his confidence back and start scoring again.
Might be worth trying him on the right for a bit as well, see how he fares there.
He should have been rested so many times last season but wasn't thanks to Wenger.
He shouldn't have been even back on training until 2-3 weeks into the season but as Wenger totally fluffed the transfer window he had no choice especially after the west ham game where he made an appearance after 60 mins which I thought was pathetic.
When the German players came back after the world cup they weren't selected until at least the 2nd week if I remember correctly yet Sanchez is out there 60mims into the season after he played just about every game last season.
Messi is predictable but can anyone stop him? Cutting in from the right and playing a long through ball to Alba or Neymar. How many times he does that in a game with success? Every player is predictable but the best can't be stopped.
It can't be just tiredness. He hasn't played THAT much.
I think it's a mix between tiredness, opponents know now what to expect when he has the ball, and also he's just in a patch of bad form.
He'll come good again, no doubt. Just needs a bit of luck with a goal again and he'll start firing
