Left back has become the most difficult position for Arsene Wenger to fill.
With Ashley Cole gone and Gael Clichy still six weeks away from fitness, Arsene Wenger used right back Justin Hoyte in the role until William Gallas took over the reigns on Saturday.
However, given his fine form in the Champions League last season, it is a surprise that Mathieu Flamini has not been asked to fill in. The answer is simple.
“He is unhappy at left back,” explained Wenger. “He is not comfortable there. For me it was a good experience but he does not feel comfortable in that role.”
