Joel Campbell and Alexis Sanchez

I was incredibly surprised that Joel Campbell got passed up for Kieran Gibbs. It was weird. But perhaps it was to save Joel Campbell for Zagreb. And then Campbell missed a wide open goal and Wenger, Ozil, and the entire visitor section threw their arms up in disgust. Suddenly it made sense why he had been benched.

And yet, what options are there? Campbell has energy, something Arsenal is going to need a lot of. He has drive and he does have a lot of talent. He needs to be given another chance to get back out there and show what he can do. With so few options, it’s not like Wenger has a choice.

The same applies to Alexis Sanchez. What other options are there? If injuries prevented him from getting a rest against West Brom, what would have suddenly changed? Unless Ramsey and the Ox are back, which, two days later, seems unlikely, then Alexis will have to give it another go.

That is, unless Alex Iwobi gets another shot. But in a must-win? Not the most plausible of scenarios.
