Monreal must be benched

Traore skinned the entire defence today, not just Nacho

Nacho definitely needs a time out

That Traore guy is ridiculously quick and strong.

I said at the start of the game that Monreal vs Traore could get pretty scary. I don''t understand how Wenger can't seem to see that, for all his good qualities, Monreal struggles massively against any sort of pace and directness.

To be fair, as GHA says, Traore moved more into a free role and terrorised our whole team, but the pace of Gibbs could have at least helped to snuff out Traore's threat when the Spaniard was on the right (which is where a lot of his best moments were).

He's an incredible athlete, and has the technical qualities to match.

I seem to recall Eric Black saying he was the fastest player he'd seen in British football. Now I appreciate Black may have been slightly biased, but I don't think a new manager would open himself up for so much criticism with such a bold statement if there weren't some truth behind it.
He's been criticised for his work-rate and 'lack of footballing brain', but I don't see how so many big clubs ignored him - at the very least, he would be a great impact sub at a big club, but he also has the potential to be an incredible player, IMO.

We lack muscles in our squad and apart from Giroud, the rest are very half-pint and like fibbling a lot.

Wenger needs to stop the nanoscopic experiment or we will get bullied easily by HUGE United and Spurs.

Nacho could do with a break. Gibbs isn't great but Nacho is getting skinned by fast wingers.

You are talking absolute nonsense...and defenders easily bully Giroud; he reminds of Mario Gomez in that sense--big and broad yet isn't very physical
