Did he predict a 40 ? If so , do you have link for it ? <| sep |> I am not too worried . He ' s played him in big games and , more importantly I think , he ' s brought him on when we are chasing a game which I think suggests something about where Wenger views his quality lying . He ' s taken coquelin off for Xhaka a few times now when we are behind and I think that speaks volumes and shows he knows coquelin doesn ' t contribute much to our attack , but is a more secure option right now and perhaps feels we are less likely to concede with coquelin in the side . Coquelin is low risk for Wenger and he ' s proven , whereas Xhaka isn ' t . The midfield has been a bit of a merrygoround with cazorla getting injured , Elneny , Xhaka and Ramsey all having been rotated in and out and coquelin is the consistent option who adds solidity to our midfield and we know how to function with him in the side . Whatever we think of Ramsey in this sub , Wenger clearly trusts him in central midfield and always looks to get him in the side when he ' s fit . If he views Ramsey as a settled and secure option then he may feel he can bring Xhaka in because Ramsey offers familiarity with the rest of the side . I find it hard to believe he was bought to play next to Coquelin in the longer term .
