Tonight’s home game should be the Ozil-Sanchez show.
Those two are a pair, a partnership, guys who play with each other and for each other.
Do they really want to be at the club? The Chilean doesn’t, we know that. And the German knows that Arsenal had no offers for him.
Gooners really want their moody stars to deliver against West Brom tonight.
But today we are told that Sanchez may be rested before the Thursday’s game in Belarus?
If that happens, Wenger is trying to get into the Champions League by winning the Europa!
On Friday morning I suggested that Arsenal could be playing catch-up tonight.
But I didn’t think ALL the big clubs would win.
Didn’t reckon Chelsea would win 4-0 at Stoke, that Man City would stuff Palace 5-0, that Spurs and Liverpool would win 3-2 at West Ham and Leicester respectively.
At Southampton, Manchester United only scored one goal by Lukaku in 20. As you know, Jose Mourinho only needs one goal to win a game.
Arsenal’s next league game is Brighton and they’re above them on goal difference today, having played one less game. Brighton beat Newcastle in a very tight match at the Amex yesterday.
So West Brom is a must-win game tonight. Only three points will do.
