Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has expressed worry as his side
prepares to clash with Liverpool in the English Premier League on Monday
night.
Wenger said he finds it an impossible job to select players in Arsenal’s midfield, which is filled with an array of talents.
Such is the players at his disposal that he managed to leave Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain on the bench against Crystal Palace on August 16
despite a bright start in their first game of the season, while captain,
Mikel Arteta started from the bench as Jack Wilshere is still nursing
an injury.
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, is presently confused as he does not know which players to pair in midfield
“It’s an impossible job but that’s why I tell you I always get
asked two questions: ‘Why don’t you buy more players?’ and ‘How do you
keep them all happy now?’
“I believe that competition is part of our job. On the other
hand, you have to get the number right – too many players in the squad
goes against competition. If you have a certain number of players who
think they never have a chance to play, they killed something. Not
enough players creates too much of a comfort zone,” he told the club’s website.
“My thinking [putting him out wide] was more about physical power
in the centre of the park, to win the ball back and be capable of
winning challenges [as] Santi is a more technical player and also to get
him higher up, next to [Mesut] Ozil, to play through the lines, find
those two, and combine in the final third.
