Ameobi was better up front than Adomah, the midfielders were not tough enough...... the list does go on.
No manager is perfect and some things they try just don't work, as long as they learn then all is good. I think he'll admit himself that in hindsight he'd do things differently.
I went to Arsenal, and didn't expect the 1st team to play, or for us to win. It was a free pass really, losing to Arsenal we all expected it. There are many other teams/managers who had bigger problems.
On the subject of Sabri and his picking of the team I think we can conclude that Yacob and Pantilimon will never play for us again otherwise both would have surely been involved in the 18. I would go as far as to say that Sabri has probably excluded them both from training with the rest of the players although I don't have any hard evidence to back that up, just my opinion.
I'd forgotten about Yacob. I agree, surely if he was ever to get a game then Arsenal as holding mid was the game.
