I think Alexis' frustration is being really overblown, and I think his intensity and passion for winning is becoming contagious within the squad.
We were down 3-0 and we found a way to tie the match 3-3, and at the end of the match no one was happy. I think some of the players who have been here longer than Alexis know that in previous seasons we would have lost that match. To them this draw is clearly a sign that we are improving and a large reason for this is that we have players like Alexis who refuse to lose, and everyone else knows that this is our standard.
I don't think Alexis likes being on the wing, and that he prefers playing CF, but most of all he hates losing. He'll play any attacking position if it helps us win.
Also, I think we shouldn't under estimate the difficulty of raising your intensity while also sustaining a technical level. Alexis is one of the fittest players in the world, and that is why he can do what he does.
Players don't just build up the strength to sustain an intense pressing style while still being skillful over night. Look at the difference an improved training regimen and not going to the Euros did to Theo's game, but that took months of prep during pre-season.
I think our attackers are getting better as the season progresses and they're building up the strength required to play the way that we need to play.
Our attacking numbers are really good this season and I don't think our attackers will get worse. Alexis (15 goals), Lucas (6), Özil (9), Giroud (8), Walcott (11), Ox (6), and Iwobi (3). Welbeck will score goals too.
Alexis should be smart enough to know that this team has some quality attacking options that are good enough to win any match. We all should be upset when we lose knowing how good our attackers are.
