Alexis Sanchez dropped vs. Liverpool after Arsene Wenger row

While fans disagreed staunchly with dropping Sanchez, the Telegraph claim that “many Arsenal players back Wenger’s stance”.

Arsenal have a desperate away record against the other members of the current top six in the Premier League, with Wenger having overseen just three wins in the Gunners’ last 26 games at Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United. At this moment in time, Iwobi should not be starting for Arsenal week in week out. “We have no alternative, we have to deliver and show a reaction”.

“Jurgen Klopp said after the game that the first five minutes of Sanchez felt like 50 minutes, that’s the impact he had”.

“You can’t afford to lose games”. From the minute he came on, Sanchez was involved and creating chances.

The heat is on Liverpool and Arsenal in the English Premier League, as the Anfield giants welcome the Gunners to Merseyside on Saturday.

“When you make the big call to leave out your best player for such an important match you have to win”. If this victory had given us as much confidence as the draw at Sunderland had given us a knock, then everything would be fine. “We are now in the middle of the season and we thought it makes sense to try to deliver again on Saturday”.

The first goal was scored by Roberto Firmino after Mane made a scyther of a pass across the face of goal and the second was scored by the Senegalese himself.

Arsenal players reportedly confronted Alexis Sanchez after he walked out of a training session in the lead-up to the side’s 3-1 defeat at Liverpool. Wenger seems to be running on borrowed time while questions of inconsistency would be thrown at Klopp with 11 matches left in the 2016/17 EPL season.

“But only if you are really silly then you let the bad things have more influence on you than the good things”.

When asked why Sanchez was benched, Wenger said before the game, “We’re going with Giroud and Welbeck up front because we will need to be a bit more direct and strong in the air”. It was absolutely exceptional; we have played and lost games, and not played well in all the games, but in this game [there were] so many bad individual performances and it’s really hard to win a football game.

“If you want, you can already look forward to the start of the next season, because it will be the same feeling, whatever happens this season”.
