It feels like Giroud has to summon the devil in order to get a start... Does Sanchez have Wenger's family as hostages?? Give the guy a rest!

Why isn't Giroud playing? Mans on fire everything he touches goes in the net. Wenger really can't handle a squad can he

Fans of the north Londoners also gave their thoughts on Mathieu Debuchy being given the nod at right-back on Sunday.
The Frenchman hasn't started for the Gunners since November 2015 but was preferred to Carl Jenkinson, with Hector Bellerin still out through injury.
It's not that I had forgotten Debuchy was on Arsenal. It's that I had forgotten he was on earth.

Debuchy aside, that's a quality lineup #COYG
