Commentators said he looked like he didn't want to come out (duh) but they said he should get over it. That it's a team sport and you're 4-0 up, you've already got your goal.

Which is absolutely right. Alexis is an amazing player but man sometimes his attitude really gets in the way. Ozil didn't seem to have a problem coming off, why is Alexis getting so upset over letting a guy get his first minutes since May?

I am not a big Arsene fan, but sometimes he can't win for losing. He leaves Ozil and Alexis on, then he is (rightfully) criticized for overworking them and leaving them exhausted for big matches.

He takes them off and the players get mad. I know Alexis wants the goal-scoring lead, but a world-class team should have enough depth to put in quality reserves in a blowout.

Thankfully, we do right now at forward. You can never have enough quality players. It looked like we were stacked to the hilt in the midfield, and now we are woefully short with our usual injury bug.

But yes, Alexis needs to get over it.
