Chamberlain defends Wenger

Wenger came in for particular criticism for taking Chamberlain off and replacing him with the ineffectual Andrei Arshavin, who was directly responsible for Man Utd’s winning goal.

“It was hard not to hear it [the jeers for Wenger], there were a lot of fans,” Oxlade-Chamberlain said. “It is always nice to know that the fans enjoyed your performance or whatever but at the end of the day, it’s the boss’s decision. He’s Arsène Wenger, a top-quality manager. He’s done a lot for this club so whatever he does and whatever decision he makes towards me and the team, I’ll have to respect and I do respect that.”
