5 Heroes & Villains From Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal

3. Arsenal's "Professionalism"

With so many experienced Champions League players in Wenger's side, the Gunners look to have picked up a fair few players with nasty habits for feigning injuries and play-acting to break up the play when on the back-foot. Chief culprit in the game included Olivier Giroud who rolled around at the slightest hint of contact but it has to be said Alexis Sanchez wasn't too far behind. Never have an Arsenal side looked so desperate to play the professionalism card and it's a sorry sight to see when they have so many seriously talented players. Not in a long time has an Arsenal team left such a bad taste in the mouth.
