Wenger slams Domenech

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hit out at Raymond Domenech on Saturday after the France coach played Thierry Henry for the full 90 minutes in the midweek friendly against Bosnia. Wenger was furious Domenech did not bring his talismanic striker off during World Cup runners-up France's 2-1 win, especially with the game coming so soon after the tournament in Germany which ended last month. "It's disrespectful," Wenger told a news conference after Arsenal's 1-1 Premier League draw with Aston Villa at the London club's new Emirates stadium. "When you rest the players and give them extra holiday because they have been at the World Cup and then they take those players on a friendly and play them for 90 minutes...I find that provocative. "In the World Cup they always took him off before the end of the game and then they play a friendly and play him for 90 minutes," added Wenger.
