Yeah great to see Walcott back on the bench.
It may be a bit harsh on Jenks but Sagna is the better player. There will be more opportunities for Jenks thru the winter.

Tough but on the other hand Sagna obviously needs first team match fitness and QPR is (in theory) the easiest game we've got for a while so it's what I'd expect if the roles were reversed.
Saw Keown was mouthing off about lack of experience in the back 4. Of all the criticisms to level at our defence I'm not sure that's what I'd go for. Santos aside, Vermaelen has played a few seasons in the PL and is accomplished at international level, Mertesacker has 80-odd caps for Germany and is in his second season and Sagna over the last few years has probably been the best RB in the league.
Vintage AFC: play well for 5-10 minutes then waste possession, show limited movement up top and encourage poor and struggling opposition to grow into the game.
Wilshere is really making his mark on the game, although our lack of support and QPR's insistence on kicking him at every opportunity is limiting it.

Santos didn't put himself in the team someone else did.

True. But he's the one responsible for being overweight and therefore unfit and slow.

So he'll be frozen out until then...
