A shout out to Wenger for the way he handled yesterday. He gets criticism for being naive tactically, but he spotted we were getting out fought in the middle. I'm sure there weren't too many singing his praises when he takes Santi off for Flamini, but it worked. And then when Arteta came on we finally started getting hold of it in midfield. Thought he did a good job with very limited options.

Totally agree,
If somebody told me he would bring on Flamini, Arteta and Gibbs in 2nd half, you would think we were defending a lead, not looking for an equaliser.
As you said Ubi, good job with limited options.

Lol yes that's why he done it, I'm sure if everyone was fit the same changes would of been made.

He has done well this year but come on he had no choice but to put those 3 on! He went for experience to get him out of a hole and came up.

Hardly a master stroke!

I was very impressed with the Gibbs substitution, as he was originally a midfield player and looked quite comfortable. If none of the injured players are back immediately after the intermational break, I would seriously considering startting Gibbs on the left midfield role, switch Sanchez to the right and drop the ineffective Campbell. He can provide good defensive cover for Monreal, as well as making a positive effect offensively.

He may have had little chioce who to bring on but he did chose well who and when to take off, he does some strange things for sure but credit where its do.

RG69 wouldn't talk about moving sanchez to the right around ubi he goes mad when you even suggest it.

He may have had little choice but he could have always thrown in Iwobi who has impressed in pre season and while playing for the under 21's, but instead he got on Gibbs, may not be a master stroke and no one is claiming it was genius or whatever, but choosing Gibbs ahead of Iwobi, and making Flamini rb when he could have brought on Chambers or Gabriel, shows that we still wanted to get something out of the game so moved Arteta centeral with alexis on right. I think it was tactically spot on.
