Arsenal: 5 Questions For Arsene Wenger Following PSG Draw

1. Do you want to win the Champions League?

I actually agree with Wenger when he said that this Arsenal team is better equipped than they have been in quite some time. With the depth that they have, the Champions League could be realistically won by them so long as injuries don’t come around.

That being the case, what were Giroud and Xhaka doing on the bench? I get that you need to rest players and get different guys playing time, but resting this early in the season when those two had already been rested against Southampton is befuddling.

Rest them too much more and they will start to gather rust.

The lineup made no sense. It gave us no hope for a win and we would have lost if changes had not been made. It was simply inexplicable and Wenger needs to reevaluate how much he wants the Champions League because throwing this same lineup out there is asking for another major let down.

Let’s be happy with the draw. We went into Paris and scraped a point. But let’s also be wary that a lot of things went terribly wrong.
