But when Wilshere, Ramsey and
Cazorla were on the pitch we won 2 cups (FA CUP and CHARITY SHIELD) and he was very influential in those those games..
Given that he is a striker, you'd expect Giroud to be one of the first to offer his services when it comes to penalties, but if
Cazorla is on the pitch, you still have to listen to Wenger's instructions of letting the Spaniard have it.
Look how well he was playing when
Cazorla was on the pitch, ever since his and Alexis's injury Mesut has had to carry this team on his own, you can't expect him to be pulling off assists each game when the players that allow him to be comfortable on the ball get injured for more than a quarter of the season.
This has been happening ever since Coquelin's injury and before anyone mentions Ramsey,
Cazorla was on the pitch when we got thrashed by Bayern and he was out injured.
Not exact matches
I don't blame Giroud for have very little talent, or Mert for
being slower than my grand mother, or Flamini having the control of a 2 year old in a bumper car, or Sanchez getting injured when he
is played whilst
being burned out, or
Cazorla for getting injured and left
on the
pitch playing with knee ligament damage God knows prolonging his return date by how many weeks.
and our inability to keep possession has nothing to do with Ramsey, whenever we've missed Coquelin we've struggled, even with
Cazorla on the
pitch that
's a fact.
With Bellerin,
Cazorla and Ozil
on the
pitch, Welbeck and Giroud's height
are definitely going to
be needed to help tame the Chelsea corner kicks and set plays.
If I
'm the manager, I play Sanchez
on the left, Welbeck
on the right, and Ozil,
Cazorla and Coquelin in the middle of the
pitch.
But I don't think Ozil and
Cazorla should
be on the
pitch together often.
Just because our last two captains Arteta and Vermaelen spent more time in the treatment room than
on the
pitch does not make it a good idea, so it seemed logical that the boss would hand it to another player who would
be playing and it
was reported that it could
be our midfield maestro Santi
Cazorla.
In addition, if neither
Cazorla nor Ramsey improve their game by a mile, i reckon Ox (for ramsey) or Sanchez (for
Cazorla) should take their place
on the team and put Poldi
on the left winger (or even Campbell
on the right) They do nt even have to
be bad, this could even
be nothing more than a proposition
on how to rotate the squad in the way of avoiding injuries
on players, as well as giving frustrated benchwarmers some much appreciated time
on the
pitch.
Mertesacker shouldn't
be given a contract, not because of his age, but he doesn't have any other thing to offer
on the
pitch,
Cazorla on the other hand needs at least two year contract, I would have preferred a year but since we don't have creative midfielder like him and I said it in one article a while ago we needed his replacement since three years ago, someone who
is good and can learn from Santi also.
Exactly, the ones who don't look like they have the weak mentality get sided out for no reason, Sanchez
was scoring for fun when he
was free to play in the centre and the wings, but he
was outshining Giroud so the manager restricted him, Ramsey
was scoring for fun when he
was allowed to shoot outside the box and had players supporting him at the back but now the manager tells him to play
Cazorla role instead, when Ox
was new he
was dribbling past City defenders for fun but then he
was benched for Walcott who can't even dribble past one defender, now we have Campbell who always impresses
on the
pitch but the manager benches him for a player with no confidence.
He
was a major outlet for Ozil and
Cazorla especially... if he wasn't at the end of those chances, his diagonal runs to the left side of the
pitch was creating space for others and Sanchez to come in
on goal.
The continual experiment of
Cazorla on the left side of the pitch most be stopped, play him behind the striker and let him do his thing, he should have been building his confidence back while Ozil was out in that position, if you (wenger) wants jack to play so much, let him play behind giroud and bench cazorla, but this experiment must stop allow, Campbell, ox or Gnabry to show themselves in that position, even RYO and COQ would do a much better job on the left side of th

It
was a very disappointing game bt I believe if
Cazorla was on d
pitch, it wld have
been a different result as he can make decent defense splitting passes which we wld have benefitted from.
When Arteta
is not
on the
pitch Cazorla is the man to take them.
4) We need players this summer as simple as that and across the
pitch, ready made WC caliber player: CB, DM, ST we can't continue that way and it showed (Coquelin has done fantastic but as I said a few times
on other articles a few good games
is not enough and this
is he
's 1st mediocre game - inexperience) 5) Misfiring: chances we get but we fail to convert and put ourselves in a commanding position and that has happen so many times it seems we never learn: Welbeck and Giroud should've done better can't expect Özil,
Cazorla and Sanchez even thought he can score to do it (Aguero or Suarez would've put that game to bed with all the chances in the 1st half)
My question
is why did the media go to great lengths to get Wenger to explain why Sanchez
was playing in the first place, but no - one has asked the Boss why
on Earth he kept an injured
Cazorla on the
pitch for the whole match?
The Frenchman does seem to
be very impressed by what he has
been seeing from the new Gunners
on the training
pitch though, so the inclusion of Alexis Sanchez, Santi
Cazorla, Francis Coquelin and Laurent Koscielny
is not as strange as you might think, especially as Pires believes that Wenger has now put together a squad capable of great things.
there
is no explanation to have Ozil rambo jack and
cazorla on the
pitch togteher.
The likes of
Cazorla can
be interchangeable
on the
pitch, with the little Spaniard having also played CAM and
on the wing in the past.
He must not play every game; he should only feature in the big games where his skills and experiences
are needed and that way, we can have a fresh
Cazorla, who will spend more time
on the
pitch and lesser time
on the treatment table.
is ok, let us
be composed nd hope let it nt to
be so pertinacious to our footballing arena, although we lost the three points, bt gabriel's sent off
is nt as influential for loosing 3pnts as
cazorla's, had it
been we remain 10men
on the
pitch we cld hv equalize, let us pray we could punish chelski nxt time.
The midfield could
be tricky to predict if Wenger decides to rest Ozil or
Cazorla, but I
'm sure that Coquelin will definitely
be on the
pitch.
But the minute he
was injured Bayern tore us a new hole despite having
Cazorla and Coquelin
on the
pitch, they kept attacking us from the right side where he usually plays.
As
Cazorla gets older in his professional career, we all expected the player to make less appearances
on the
pitch; after all that
's just part of football.
Totally agree,
Cazorla was definitely our best man
on the
pitch, Wenger always makes the strangest subs when we have chance to win a game and logical ones when we
're 2 - 0 down (extra striker and Ox
on).
Wenger demonstrated this again this season, by giving contract extensions to both Per Mertesacker and Santi
Cazorla, despite neither player
being given time
on the
pitch due to ongoing injury problems.
I kept expecting the manager to bring
Cazorla off as I assumed his inclusion
was merely to help him gain fitness but halftime came and went and as the likes of Elneny, Campbell, Walcott and Coquelin
were all replaced while the Spaniard remained
on the
pitch, our chances of winning that game looked stronger and stronger.
If we played with out and out conventional wingers then I would
be the first one up in arms if Ozil
was stationed there — but we don't and just look at the positions Ozil (and
Cazorla and Walcott) took up
on the
pitch today.
Cazorla our Main midfielder and orchestrator that makes us tick as a team had an absolute nightmare game, he could not hold onto the ball, could not pass, lacked energy for some reason and looked disinterested all the time he
was on the
pitch.
Perhaps the best player
on the
pitch, Santi
Cazorla showed great work rate today and
was at the heart of every good attacking play by the Gunners, going
on a great run to set up Welbeck for the winner.
Santi
Cazorla is the latest Arsenal player to never actually
be seen
on the
pitch, following
on from the likes of Abou Diaby and Tomas Rosicky, who spent years at the Emirates Stadium despite barely ever getting
on the
pitch.
Cazorla's confidence and experience of the game seems to make him almost a certain scorer and
Cazorla should definitely
be first choice if
on the
pitch.
But ultimately it all depends
on who
is on the
pitch and if luck
is on Arsenal's side, we'd have Santi
Cazorla ready to put the ball in the back of the net.
well, there
's nothing new with injuries but there will
be enough cover
on the
pitch for one of the other defenders to drop back and then bring
on Cazorla / Ozil or Ox
Without them we
're clueless
on the
pitch, without
Cazorla and Coquelin the likes of Norwich have no trouble over-running our midfield, we
're still far from
being champion material.
I also think we need to consider selling Ramsey I know this
is controversial but I believe the money we can get for him will
be more beneficial then the quality we will get out of Ramsey
on the
pitch I would rather concentrate
on Cazorla, Coquelin, Xhaka and Wilshere in CM And I don't like it when Ramsey plays
on the RW either
Özil
was equally
s * it to
Cazorla and everyone else
on the
pitch.
Arsenal currently have Xhaka,
Cazorla, Ramsey, Wilshere, Coquelin and Elneny as regular first team central midfielders, meaning that
's six players competing for just two positions
on the
pitch.
HE
WAS BENCHED when Wenger decided that Cazorla was a winger — an idea that has rarely worked at all on the pit

Cazorla is very much one of those players who does his job
on the
pitch on a silent scale.
Ozil, Sanchez,
Cazorla and Ramsey — these
are quality players and under Wenger's guidance they
were all clueless
on the
pitch today.
Many complains Ramsey going forward too much although he
is a box to box, I disagree, we may start with
Cazorla playing higher but
on the
pitch Cazorla always stay back and pull the string from deep giving Ramsey license to roam.
And hey
Cazorla,
are you
on the
pitch.
yeah, it
was good to see that
Cazorla on the
pitch again.
This season Ozil
is playing out of position and the player who
is playing in his place
Cazorla goes down
on the
pitch even under the pressure of breathing of defenders.
arsenal
is ready this year for the BPL challenge.in the previous season with our record injured we would have
been incapable of playing but this year no matter who
is on the
pitch (with coq ozil
cazorla all
on the
pitch) we will win match by match.and it
is what happen yesterday with campbell who come in and play well bcoz now we have a very good spin.thanks wenger!!!
Although I don't expect Adelaide to play a major role in the upcoming season, it would
be interesting to see him perform as backup to Ozil and
Cazorla in that CAM position
on the
pitch.
