Did Wenger want to win this game?
Arsenals best player today was Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, making his first league start for Arsenal, before he was replaced by the fairly useless, in recent months, Arshavin. A decision that made the home fans more vocal then at any other point in the game!
That decision looked even worse when Arshavin's poor defending allowed Valencia to run into the box and cross for Welbeck to score United's second, and winning, goal.
Where as on the other side of the pitch the utterly useless Walcott played the whole game , doing the square root of F*** all...once again.
United should have been out of sight by half time but only had a solitary Valencia goal, this single goal always meant that the result wasn't certain, and Van Persie missed, for him, an easy chance before later on grabbing the equaliser.
After this equaliser Wenger made his changes........from there on you felt it was only time until United would get the winning goal......and so it came, following Man City's win earlier in the day it was imperative that United got all three points today. They got the points, but it should have been sealed by half time.
Arsenal were the architects of their own downfall today, playing like the away side in the first half and the taking off their most promising player in the second half just as they had got back in to the game. For Wenger he will have a few questions to answer as to what he was thinking, it certainly wasn't about winning the game!
