Face it...ALEXIS SANCHEZ IS A FREAKING BEAST!!!!
I warned you. Udinese, Barcelona and now Arsenal....Sanchez is a VERY, VERY dangerous player. Robben is the number one guy, but Sanchez has to be one of the most TOUGHEST, AND VERSATILE players out there...with very good dribbling. Without him..screw it...Arsenal would be in the mid-table. And this might turn out to be one of Wenger's best signatures.
What makes Sanchez such a dangerous weapon is how unorthodox he is. If you are manager trying to stop him...you actually can't. He is NOT Ronaldo....but it's a similar problem.
Alexis can dribble, he is strong, he is pretty quick, can score free-kicks, long range goals, good at one-on-one, and can find space. So a defender just has too much to deal with if trying to keep him quiet for ninety minutes. So the best thing which is not shameful at all is DOUBLE TEAMING. I would have no shame in employing that because Sanchez is finding his mojo with Arsenal, and once he is fully injury-free and his body is optimum and fully fits into Arsenal, then HE HAS TO BE STOPPED BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY.
Arsenal have a lot of issues in midfield and defense to sort out if they are to win any trophy. But as they say, all you needs is a team that works well and ONE superstar player. Alexis is a player who CAN be one who you can put the pressure on to deliver that killer goal or pass which he was involved in to get Arsenal back in the game in Belgium. Wenger just needs to get the rest of his house in order.
SANCHEZ IS NOT A JOKE.
