Dude is always on mission to gift games away. Talk about a piss poor football IQ.

The first time I saw him play the game Tom Huddlestone came to mind, now I see someone worse than Denilson :mrgreen:

Thank God for the 3 points but this team is horrible to watch right now.

Frightening how much better Ozil is technically and tactically compared to his teammates. Real scary what is left if we lose this guy....

Thank God we are back on top of Mighty Burnley... :thumbs: :thumbs:

You apparently didn't watch the first game of the season against Leicester. Was he tired then?

Has it occurred to you that teams scout weak links on their opposing teams and have zeroed in on him as being a mediocre football player?

Keep making excuses :rotf:
A player is mediocre because he is playing in a position that isn't naturally his. What a comment, talk of mediocrity.

Ozil is lazy. He needs to go to Stoke (his level) so he can toughen up.

Brilliant 3 points. City drop points this evening and it's down to 16 points. Attack from the back. #kiptanui

post Santi Arsenal midfield is utter trash, sloppy on the ball, atrocious when facing any sort of press, on the ball Ozil can only paper over so many cracks. Do not see any solutions to Arsenal woeful midfield until the summer window.

Keep making excuses :rotf:
Bull... Give the ball to Ramsey and Wilshere as mush as to Xhaka and they will make more mistakes. Yes he is prone to the odd bad pass but clearly that was a player completely exhausted there in the final part of the game and became a risk to the team....he is not in a position where you can hide like many others.

There're enough players who can play on the ball. Arsene has to be more flexible in his style. Ozil has been dropping extremely deep for over a month to orchestrate play which means the final third misses his impact.
The individuals are there, can't sit it all on Cazorla. For eons, many knew Sani wasn't going to contribute...just as it was with Diaby, as it was with Rosicky, etc etc. Can't keep waiting for transfers. The players are there! Give Jeff a shot, push Ozil deep, try a different style.

Solutions are present, Arsene has to act though.

which summer window? 2027 summer? How many summer windows have we waited for in the past 10 yrs without ending up disappointed and dreading the season?

Anyway, we take the 3 points.... we are a top 10 team...

that's why I am baffled by TG's waiting for summer...like AW himself will tell you, he has players and doesn't need to buy, unless top, top talent is available (Suarez for a 1 pound, for example).

Again you either have eyes and can’t see or are just being willfully obtuse. Xhacrap is a technically and athletically challenged footballer. THE EPL is not for him . Again he has made catastrophic errors on the ball under minimal pressure all season so your fatigue argument is mute and ridiculous ....0pponents have singled him out as the weak link and are targeting him.

And please never put Chacrap and Wilshere ever in the same sentence when it comes to technical footballing ability

Give Jack and El neny a real run, simple can't underrate Jack's ball retention, touch and intelligence , can't ignore El neny ability to pass under pressure, ball retention, great engine and far more disciplined game.

You are the person who is being obtuse or even worse INCAPABLE of getting IT.

Xhaka is here because Wilshere FAILED to live up to what was expected. Xhaka has been here 2 years and how many games has he played for Arsenal compared to Wilshere?

Wait wait wait, when have Xhacrap and Wilshere ever played in the same position for Arsenal that he could be a replacement for Jack for his purported failures? :rotf: :rotf:

Bia Skylolo are you ok? :mrgreen:

Jack has played as a #10 0r as a #4 for Arsenal and occasionally out wide so you are clearly lost my friend :mrgreen:

Please let us not keep recycling....Coquelin, Elneny have all had their chances....the lot of them ain't good enough! Rather try Maitland Niles right now tbh...

With Cazorla injured Xhaka, Ramsey and Wilshere are the most useful options at this club and in that order too.

In the summer we knew we needed a decent ball winner next to them.

Sanchez turns the ball over because he is trying to hard. Xhacrap does it because he is technically crap. And Skylolo is being called out for his ridiculous defense of claiming it’s fatigue even though the man has been doing the same since Game one. Waffi for once use some reasoning smh
