Balance is key for Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger does not want to see players protected so much by referees the game becomes “boring”, but maintains everyone must keep their eye on the ball.

The Gunners lost midfielder Abou Diaby to an ankle injury following what was a bad challenge from Bolton’s Paul Robinson during Saturday’s Barclays Premier League clash at Emirates Stadium – which went unpunished by referee Stuart Attwell, who had earlier sent off Gary Cahill.
