It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat...

Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger'In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat...

Excellent stats for passing, tackling and work rate make him a top player to have sitting in front of the back four and if he carries on scoring goals as well, surely he will have proved beyond doubt that Arsenal should have signed him this summer.

Yes we are but we want to be in front of city and chelsea so we need better players than them or am i missing something.

«If there is one (player) you want to see in front of the goal in a shooting position, it is him because Podolski is certainly one of the best finishers I have ever seen»

the cheese eating surrender monkey has screwed up again we all know that now so we have to hope to get our real quality players performing to full potential that is ozil sanchez wishere carzola... i am not sure there is a combo with all four and at this moment wilshere and sanchez are the only ones looking pretty decent and as wellbeck needs to be integrated those positions are settled... i am a big ozil fan and really believe wenger is failing to get best out of him by playing him out of position so cant we play some kind of diamond with him at the top feeding to a front line of sanchez and wellbeck... for me neither flamini nor arteta add anything to the team so i think playing to attacking strengths is the only option right now... but its really a ridiculous state of affairs we have been left in... throwing caution to the wind i would go for

Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off

I was thinking about that, but then thought about how Pirlo looked so well with two defensive / b2b players in front of him pressing the opposition, Coquelin is one of our best pressers.

He is not 30 — he's still a young player and his best years are in front of him.»

but i don't see him as a cam i see him as a cm, he is not good with his back to goal he's better when he can see whats in front of him then drive past players and play 1 - 2's that start attacks.

With two defensive players and Santi, we have a strong protection in front of the back four as well as technical ability to create chances and retain possession.

The whole Gerald Wallace thing [in a postgame interview last year Jefferson said of Wallace, a Bobcats forward, «He's not very talented»]; he's a good guy, a competitive player, and I would never want to disrespect him in front of his family and friends.

What I like him the most is his killer instinct in front of goal and accept he has huge potential and can become very good player for us.

Id play him in front of the other two though as i never really did think he was greatly suited in partnership with holding player, its just when were on top it looks good.

They may not be the most pleasing on the eye, but England are a well organised outfit and have the players more than capable of providing that bit of quality needed in front of goal.

I wish for all our players to do well and turn into WC players especially someone like Jack who we have seen grow right in front of our eyes (through the media ofcourse, lol).

But for sure underinvestment doesn't deliver especially if u want to compete on two big fronts... Bellerin is the first of our young players to come through in quite some time lots of expectation in last 6 years but can't think of a real quality player from the academy... Wilshere might if injuries hadn't prevented... Spurs now looking better on that front Attitude is key I agree totally... love the way Leicester hunt down ball in packs and break with 3 or even 4 players moving at speed...

I understand the logic behind your thinking and I agree, this could be lethal, but it then means wilshere ramsey flamini and arteta are bench players or have to be sold because none of them can operate as the sole midfielder in front of our back four, arteta is probably the most well rounded for this but against better opposition I don't think he has the physique or pace to really command that area, he has the intelligence to read the game but without the other attributes he can only do so much.

There was more good news for Arsenal with the performance of our players as well, most notably from the centre forward who has been struggling in front of goal for a while now and who Wenger could really do with finding top gear again.

In the premier league maybe you do need someone who's a bit rougher than you would in other leagues but still you only have 6 players in front of the defence and ideally every one needs to have a good all round gamIn the premier league maybe you do need someone who's a bit rougher than you would in other leagues but still you only have 6 players in front of the defence and ideally every one needs to have a good all round gamin other leagues but still you only have 6 players in front of the defence and ideally every one needs to have a good all round gamin front of the defence and ideally every one needs to have a good all round game.

Understandably, it was probably a bit boring as it was just bullpen guys, and you are probably right with the players being «off», but I just think it was great, low - scoring game in front of a crowd that deserved a good baseball game after what they've been through.

He is a great player but with our own Giroud in great form and still improving at centre forward and with great options up front in Alexis, Walcott and Welbeck, as well as promising young strikers like Akpom, Campbell and Sanogo trying to break through, I don't see a striker as a big transfer priority for the summer, especially if it is going to use up the lion's share of our budget.

2 things; wenger has to take massive crtisism for favoritism with certain players and for spending latley on less than whats needed e.g why play ozil, ramsey, walcott, when they havnt performed, anyone can see a front 3 of welbeck, sanchez and perez would cause havoc Xhaka wtf he cant takle, is not mobile enough and has the temper and the decision making skills of a of a suicide victim, why did nt we go in for Kante less money and 10x a better player or even Schneiderlin thinking about what happens after wenger ask yourself this will we win the league next year with wenger then ask if we got the right manager next year would we win the league

ok i understand that competition for the striking roll is to hard for me since you have these world class players in that roll, but i am also a good goalkeeper... you know when i was a postman when i deliver a new newspapers in front of the people houses, people shooting at me with old ones and i catch them all...

Muller is renown for his versatility in attack — able to play as a leading striker, as well as a No. 10 and a wide player — yet with Robert Lewandowski likely to remain as Guardiola's first - choice up front, the lure of perhaps spearheading the Red Devils attack could prove key in helping decide his future.

Scott remains one of the best tee - to - green players in the world and he navigated all that trouble with relative ease, scorching the Jack Nicklaus course with a front nine 30 on Saturday.

Arsenal defended with 10 players, they put everybody in front of their own line and they had good organisation, congratulations to them.

Flamini isnt the best player we have but he is the only midfielder disciplined enough (for the most part) to stay back in front of our backline which allows the likes of ozil, cazorla and ramsey to commit numbers to the attack without worrying about leaving the back exposed.

Arsenal was given one of the weakest team in this CL competition.Everybody expected a win, like by big margin but the whole match there was no fight and desire.The game was so poor at all front last night.City and Man Utd played their hearts out even though they were defeated.Man Utd players witnessed a horrific injury to their team mate, that will affect their focus and rhythm but they fought with desire to win the game till the end.City were the better team than Juventus, they played really good.I have even read an article on Sky that states even though Man utd and City is defeated they still can qualify the group stage, thats how their performance were reassuring.But Arsenal were really poor from starting the game till end.Zagreb got their first win in CL since 1999, that says it all.

Ozil will record mammoth assists with a clinical finisher in front of him.I just feel he gets frustrated because most of the chances he creates in a match are not well taken.I also feel usually the players fail to read a lot of ideas.He's really being wasted in our team.That» shis best ability so they need to get someone who can finish off the chances.If Wenger doesn't get someone who can finish then I think Ozil is being wasted and should be sold.
