Having rested Granit Xhaka at the weekend, 99% of Gunners fans were not expecting to see Francis Coquelin in the starting XI, and Wenger’s decision backfired massively.

It’s just another one of Wenger’s moves to try and be clever/faithful to Coquelin who helped us out in a time of need through his sheer willingness to commit to a tackle in any position.

However, the time for aggression is over and following his typical 20th minute yellow card, Coquelin resorted to playing a cautious 71 minutes before being replaced by Xhaka.
