Don't disagree with you. We (board/Wenger) like to make things difficult for ourselves. Case in point: not buying a DM/CB this summer.

We don't have the resources of the Chavs but we should have been able to sell guys like Kalas and Zouma on coming here simply because we have a lighter squad so they'd get more game time and we could have offered them a decent wage as it is.
Don't want to disparage the lad, but I'll predict right now that Hayden won't make it here. Our back up centre backs have dropped in quality, from guys like Senderos and Djourou who were at least top flight level to the likes of Miquel.

Just kidding of course. And apparently he struggled big time (missed the game myself)
He's still not part of the squad though. ;D
He did struggle quite a bit, but that was to be expected. Wasn't helped by Wenger playing Özil ahead of him.

Tbf, to single out Bellerin for a poor performance would be to ignore ten other poor performances.
