Stoke Vs Arsenal

[anikulapo]

A six foot plus player gets outjumped by a short Japanese guy for a goal.

A give away under minimal pressure leads to a break away goal.

A misplaced pass again under minimal pressure leads to another goal.

That's three out of four goals conceded directly caused by Xhacrap ... but nah make I no talk so I don't have to deal with a Waffi Stat barrage

"I just worry about his reaction and body language - when the ball is turned over he offers his team-mates zero. Away from home he's a liability - he just doesn't do enough.

"It's clear to see that out of possession he doesn't want to know - he only wants to be on the ball, trying to create and making things happen.

"But world class players do both - when they lose possession they put a shift in for their team-mates and it was clear that didn't happen.

“Arsenal can’t afford to carry someone like Ozil," Keown said on BT Sport of the Germany international.

"Today he wants to have a good look at himself. He’s not kidding us watching the game. It’s not real.

"It looked like he was going through the motions today.

"Their goal shows that, if he has a quick reaction he could have helped Xhaka, but he doesn’t react quick enough.

“Wenger has talked about this casual approach he has, that it’s his body language.

"But only he really knows if he’s giving everything and I don’t believe that he really is.


"Today Ozil should be doing more for his team, he needs to have a good look at himself.

"If he wants to get away from this football club, he’s not going to this month.

"Wenger’s going to make him sit it out for the rest of the season, so while he’s here, he needs to apply himself in the right way."

Not by Ox or your claimed son Bellerin

What arrant nonsense

"Ozil - 4 - Shamefully went missing and he can do way, way better than this."

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 8 - His pace against Pieters was a weapon and one superb pass set up Welbeck for a great chance.

Hector Bellerin 6.5 - Busy down the right, especially in the first half, and came close to picking the Stoke defence on more than one occasion with his crossing.

Mesut Ozil 5.5 - Started brightly, like his team, but became increasingly anonymous as Stoke began to take control. Needed more from him.

Laughable. On the Stoke goal, after Xhaka gave the ball away, only ONE Arsenal player did anything of note in the whole defensive sequence....that was Ozil who chased back his man fiercely (you could argue he should have tackled the man and drawn a card but that's a push), everyone else was abject, especially Monreal and Xhaka which is exactly what Arsene said post game. The CM Ramsey was in the #9 position out of place, the FB's were at Bar Beach looking for isi ewu. But yes, Ozil was the worst player.

And Wenger is blaming the loss of the referees and on his central defense. He didn't see that Ozil could have actually helped Xhaka, when the ball was lost in midfield. Monreal and Cech look really poor, but good defense starts in midfield.

Below is an extract from espnfc.com.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger slammed his makeshift defense for being "too sluggish" and complained his side had been denied a goal and a penalty by incorrect decisions in the Gunners' 1-0 loss to Stoke on Saturday. We knew it was important in this type of game not to make a defensive mistake, and after halftime straight away we come out and we are too sluggish on defending and pay for it," Wenger told BT Sport.
First of all we lose the ball in the middle of the park and after that I believe we gave him too much freedom at the back through the middle and basically gave them a goal. "You need always to improve the connections between the players, but I was not convinced by our central defense today."


I honestly don't believe that the talent on the team is the issue. It is the leadership of the team that is poor. The complete lack of "Look in the Mirror"-type accountability. From all the chances we created today, our #10 created ZERO of them. NONE. In 20 minutes, Giroud did more than Ozil.

I'm not gonna blame Ozil for the goal ... he is just a worthless parasite ... if Wenger even dares suggest this loser should get a contract extension then they should demand his resignation or get fired publicly ... The man is an absolute hopeless lout.

My biggest gripe is with this lumbering Oaf we bought from Switzerland via Germany .... ahhhhh never mind whatever.

And yes talent is the issue .... we need a bloody #6. No one on this team can fill the void ... the closest we have right now is El Neny and Wenger won't play him there

I forgot the outcome of this match. Did ARSEnal win? What was the score? The thread title ought to reflect the outcome.

Ozil, bad versus Stoke.

From www.arseblog.com
93 – Özil completed an astonishing 91 of 98 passes, 93%! Ozil also had 4 key passes on the day. All better than Ramsey.

0 – Turnovers by Özil.

Ramsey, Bellerin and Ox all lost possession 5 times each (worst by Arsenal and tied with Shaqiri)
Xhaka – 4 turnovers.

Ozil, the worst player according to CE's geniuses

If this was Ozil at his worst, pay him 400k

Arsenal 77.3% possession.

[Its a Goal]

Plat, those stats can be read in any way you want. A player with no turnovers means he wasn't willing to take chances, it is also supported by the high accuracy of his passes because it means he was only willing to play it safe. He would only be considered effective with those stats if the stats show the number of tackles he put in, number of tackles won, average distance of passes completed and number of chances created.

Sure. Except key passes tells a lot of stories. That stat isn't one you gloss over.

It's exactly one year now that Leicester's Ahmed Musa was denied a glaring penalty against Arsenal. The anniversary was marked yesterday at Stoke
