#WengerOut brigade out in force after Arsenal’s lineup for PSG match is revealed

Barely an Arsenal game goes by these days without some of their fans finding a reason to have a pop at Arsene Wenger.

On Tuesday evening, disgruntled Gooners had found reason to moan about their manager before their Champions League opener against Paris Saint-Germain had even kicked off. With just over an hour to go until kick off in the French capital, Arsenal announced their starting line-up. https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/775748859851145216 Immediately, one name stood out more than others on the team sheet. https://twitter.com/RetroDee_/status/775756816777175040 Wenger decided that the time was right to bench Petr Cech in favour of Colombian David Ospina for an important Champions League match. What could possibly go wrong there? Arsenal FC v Olympiacos FC - UEFA Champions League Although Southampton's goal at the weekend went down as a Petr Cech own goal, the former Chelsea goalkeeper was unfortunate to concede it, with a Dusan Tadic free-kick rebounding off the cross bar on to his back before rolling into the goal. Not exactly grounds to drop him, surely... It didn't take long for Arsenal supporters to question their manager's choice of goalkeeper for the match. https://twitter.com/rsc_90/status/775757916125163521 https://twitter.com/dgsmith1971/status/775752421846945792 https://twitter.com/Higgins__7/status/775757890166685696 But the issues with Wenger's selection weren't limited to the the man between the sticks. The introduction of Francis Coquelin also raised eyebrows. https://twitter.com/AlexFortyNine/status/775758049013268480 https://twitter.com/arsenalabroad/status/775749237959172096 https://twitter.com/Passenal1/status/775758552992509956 https://twitter.com/jagbacchus/status/775758778302169088 But at least the decision to stick Alexis Sanchez up front went down well... https://twitter.com/MombeshoraA/status/775758753962622976 https://twitter.com/ddr4in/status/775758344950779904 https://twitter.com/Joshh_Paynee/status/775758157289254912 Or maybe not.
