Baffling that Wenger didn't sign a defender when he only has six senior defenders in his team. The injury to Giroud was sort of a blessing, because the fact is that Giroud does not scare any defenders at the top level. His lack of pace and ability to run behind the defense means that he is a very easy target to man mark out of a game. The signing of Welbeck is really a bit of a gamble by Wenger, who obviously sees something in him aside from the raw physical talent that he possesses. Can only hope that he has got that hunger in him to prove the doubters wrong, and really push on like Sturridge has at Liverpool.... |
