Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes strikers from Europe have gone a bit soft and a lack of street football is to blame.
"When football is more formalised, it's less about developing your individual skill and fighting attitude. We've lost that a bit," says Wenger.
"Maybe it's because in Europe street football has gone. If you go back 30 or 40 years in England, life was tougher.
"We're much more protective and have all become a bit softer.
"In street football when you're 10-years-old, you want to play with 15-year-olds. Then you have to prove you're good, you have to fight and win impossible balls."

king player. You see all these You Tube compilations of players and think WOW....but very few live up to the hype. Sanchez is just different gravy!

He really is in a different class, some of the stuff he did today was
The 360 deg spin with the ball around the Burnley defender was just unreal. He just wants he ball all time, and runs his heart out to.
Welbeck had a good enough game again, and so did the Ox. Everyone else was a bit flat tbh, and given where Burnley are and their record so far, we made bloody heavy work of it tbh. Quite why Wenger started with two holding MF players was baffling to most of us, again given the opposition.
Poldi's rocket left foot shot against the bar almost broke the goal posts! That is some left foot he has
Such a shame he's likely to have to leave to get more game time.Edited by aeropilot on Saturday 1st November 21:10
Sanchez proving to be the bargain of the summer.
Bloody hell he's a bit special, can't help but giggle like a school girl every time he does something outrageous with the ball, he's worth my season ticket fee alone! If you ever get the chance to watch him warm up do so, some of the things he can do is ridiculous.

I'd like to see Podders feature more. I think he's trying to prove a point. 
Yeah, of all the players struggling to get much time at the time mo (Rosicky, Campbell etc,), he looks like he deserves a crack of the whip to me. That left foot is as good as anyone else in the world.MrMagoo said:

That's probably beyond the ability of 95% of professional players!
