Alexis Sánchez ~ El Niño Maravilla

[Est83]

Start Super Gibbs!!!

He needs resting. May as well do it before he gets a full burn out and out for longer than a rest.

I wouldn't bother against West Brom just to play him Tuesday. It's still not much of a rest.

I'd look to rest him after the Zagreb game and bring him back against Sunderland (benched for Norwich just in case).

According to John Cross he's expected to sign a new five year deal soon.

If we can get both him and Ozil tied down that'll be a huge boost.

Özil expected to be next to be handed a five year deal

From Wenger's post match interview tonight:

on not resting Alexis …
Because the break makes him tired.

BOSS - 'REMARKABLE' ALEXIS LIKE A LION

Arsène Wenger says Alexis’ explosive style on the pitch reminds him of a lion hunting its prey.

The Chilean forward has excelled in his second season with the club and was in supreme form against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night, scoring twice and providing an assist for Mesut Ozil.

Alexis has already made 23 appearances for club and country this season, missing just two of Arsenal’s fixtures despite helping Chile to win the Copa America in July. Wenger has thought about resting Alexis but says he has been discouraged from doing so due to the forward’s “remarkable resistance”.

“Spontaneously it might not be the best moment to rest Alexis but I don’t know,” the manager said. “He had a little hamstring alarm but we will see how he recovers from that.

“I take information, especially from medical people who know him and treat him everyday. After that we will look at his overall recovery as well, but overall when there are alarming signs we want to make the right decision at the right moment.

“As long as the guys are in confidence, they score goals. It is always difficult to rest them.

“You always think that he knows himself well and he looks [tired] sometimes because when he does something he does it 100 per cent.

“So he finishes and you think, ‘He’s dead now’. But then he recovers and gives 100 per cent again. So you always see signs of exhaustion but it’s not that because two days later he’s fine.

“His style is very explosive and very committed. [Jamie] Vardy is a bit similar. They go when they go.

“They are like the lion, he has to catch the animal in the first 200 metres. If he doesn’t get there, after he’s dead.

“They are these kind of killers. When they go, it is to kill and after they have to stop.

“His resistance is remarkable. What is also remarkable is that he goes to South America, he comes back Thursday night and on Saturday he can play without a problem even if he’s jet-lagged. He would have been a perfect tennis player.”

Remember being worried during when that second gif happened that one of the defenders was going to lose it and kick out

[Est83]

He mentions Vardy for some reason

[Angelito]

We're signing Vardy!

Welbeck + cash for Vardy.

[Est83]

You heard it here first!!!

Welbeck + cash + Giroud + Ox for Vardy

The way wenger is talking I would be shcoked if sanchez is not injured in the next 2 weeks. Once again he has created a team that is over reliant on a player and all the talk of resting him, he knows he cant afford to rest him against any team in the league

doubtful to play in fantasy football

Jeff is just another one of our overrated youngsters who will get no chances and end up playing in the championship.

Anyhow, Alexis is a robot, he doesn't need rest!

He's f***ked mate. Not the same guy in the last 3 games at all. He needs rest, or he'll get a big injury, mark my words.
