You saw the banner calling for Ozil in the stadium. When the Fans return, they will get Ozil back.

Sadly like Emery I think we dont have the luxury to use Ozil. A player like Ozil requires two grunt midfielders - not one to get their game on ..and Arteta like Emery and most modern managers cannot play that way. I love Ozil but he style and time has passed no one plays that way anymore.
Only In Italy and maybe France will he get that luxury in Europe. I dont think he will get that even in MLS. Ozil needs a plow in front and a shield at the back to place his mercurial passes. He needs to change his style to adapt to todays game.

Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Devts for 2020-21 Seas
I keep asking myself if this same Ozil wasn't the same person that most Arsenal fans wanted benched and removed for lack of 'effort.' Every time he played, most on this site will come out and scapegoat him, saying he keeps sleeping on duty.
Suddenly, he's the messiah that will save Arsenal from disaster, and transform the team offensively. Same player that barely contributed 2-3 assists in the last 3 years or so. A player that I've always loved and still do, but became the official scapegoat whenever the team lost.
He's now the reason Arteta is being asked to leave. It's just laughable and ridiculous in the same vein.
Bring back Ozil into this team, and nothing will change. This club messed up with the way they hounded Wenger out of the club, and made a whole mess of recruitment and organization thereafter. Fundamental changes are needed to get the club on the right path again. I don talk my own finish.

Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Devts for 2020-21 Seas
It's funny when people talk about Ozil, we are reminded that he got little assists in the last few years. Arsenal fans tend to forget that what assists exactly is. No matter how good a chance Ozil creates, if it is not scored he never gets an assists.Cally wrote:I keep asking myself if this same Ozil wasn't the same person that most Arsenal fans wanted benched and removed for lack of 'effort.'

In my opinion a better stats will be how many chances did he create in that corresponding period in question.
Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Devts for 2020-21 Seas
Lol very funny. So it's now Xhaka that's the problem? Remember when you blaming blaming Arsenal woes on Ozil? Now he's not even in the registered squad you have shifted the blame to Xhaka. When Xhaka leaves who will u blame next.Sleaky72 wrote:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... raore.html

Really? Please take time to watch Man U match today against West Ham United, and see the part played by Juan Mata a player similar to Ozil.

Azuka - I like Ozil like you BUT ...
I am glad I watched that match - and I am glad you mentioned it was a change - so it was/is not normal for manure to setup that way... secondly Arsenal does not have the luxury in personnel that Manure have - did you notice the work Fernandes, Podga, Greenwood and Rashford did for Mata to do his thing ? and Mctominay.
You have players who will run like that for Ozil in Arsenal ? And Arteta already tried to make Ozil do is grunt work it did not work o
Let me remind you of Your boy Xhaka - In the Swiss team , he is shielded and not just captains the team BUT he does not even get yellows!! You sabi why ? he doe snot need to chase Traore to tackle him and arrive late to get a yellow card !! so these players are not bad is the way we play.
lastly manure will not play that way every game ( only wolves play like that sometimes ( moutinho }, but even he is shielded when he does.

Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Devts for 2020-21 Seas
In response to all this i refer you to when in the early part of Arteta's reign when we beat Man U at the Emirates. That was for me was a template that Arteta could have built on and used going forward. Remember then there was no Gabriel, Partey. Or even Elneny. And I also want you to cast your mind back to the early Unai's tenure, in the best match IMO played by Unai's Arsenal. That match was against Liverpool which Arsenal deserved to win which ended 1-1.Siddonlook11 wrote:Azuka - I like Ozil like you BUT ...

My point? It's all about the tactical formation employed. That's all it's all about. With Ozil in the team the team could start with 4-2-3-1 when with the ball and without the ball devolve into a 4-4-2 formation to defend. It's all about tactical formation.
Above all it is pennywise and pound foolish to be paying an employee 1$ and not be using him.
You mentioned Xhaka. This is the same guy who in the early part of Arteta's reign was blameless in play. By the way, i watch the Swiss team often and i doubt if more than 2 of the team's starting XI will make the current Arsenal starting XI. So it's not as if the Swiss players are World Class. They are not and that's a fact. Honestly i see no World class player in the team, not even Shaqiri the Liverpool player. So like i mentioned it's all about tactics.
Ask yourself, what happened to that Arteta teams with inverted full backs?
In all this one undisputed fact is Arsenal today lacks creativity. And this why we are where we are. It is that simple. And i hope the club deeps into the market for one.

2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp
