Arsenal fans are not likely to hear the truth of the matter and the reason behind the now regular shows of anger and frustration from Alexis Sanchez anytime soon. I expect that Arsene Wenger will just brush it off and talk about how the Chilean international is a winner who just wants to play and that all of the Arsenal players in the dressing room have the same sort of thing to some extent.
But do we believe that? I for one do not as these public outbursts from Alexis are quite a recent thing. Surely if he was going to blow his top it would have been last season when the Gunners were blowing the brilliant chance of claiming the Premier League title as all the usual suspects faltered.
It was odd behaviour from Alexis today after he was taken off late in the game away to Swansea City, because the game was already well won at 4-o and Alexis had added to his tally with a well taken finish. But the Chilean looked inconsolable and refused a drink before burying his head in a coat and not even watching the rest of the match.
What could be making Sanchez so unhappy do you think? I cannot see how it is anything to do with the contract situation or any idea that our title challenge is over because we won. The only theory I have is that he is desperate to finish the season as top scorer. What do you guys think?
