A draw is no good for either side though, so hopefully Lacazette will try and show Arsene he needs to leave him on for any late
chance like Ozil Bellerin and Iwobi got before our capitulation.
Not exact matches
With the
likes of
Ozil and our incredibly creative midfield, all we need is our strikers to continue making their moves forward, and consistently put those clear - cut
chances away, and Walcott showed last season that he can not regularly do so.
It is the same with
Ozil, you buy him to create
chances, if he does
like he did in his previous teams an assist every two games then he is not a flop, if he can't get close to those numbers then he is and you sell him.
I even agree that being where we are, not where we would
like to have been, it is imperative to also keep Sanchez and
Ozil til end of season, as fourth place is a strong possibility if they all stay but no
chance at all if they all leave.
With a player
like Ozil topping the charts with
chances created, assists etc, we would expect our hitman up front who has played almost every single game to have way more goals... yet Giroud is nowhere near the top scorers.
During the summer before the Euro's kicked off,
Ozil was in the spotlight for
liking a post on Instagram which mocked Giroud for his untold missed
chances which cost
Ozil the
chance to smash Henry's assists record and We all know that Giroud has a very sensitive Ego, especially after the way he reacted to Henry's comments of «Arsenal won't win the league all the while that Giroud is playing up front» And in the end Henry had to come out and rephrase his statement because Giroud wouldn't let it go.
the problem with arsenal is the fans we forget very easily think about the game against Chelsea we can't be a top club with players
like ozil think about the amount of easy
chances that you miss do any of you delusional fan think if Chelsea didn't already win the league on they're mine on vacation you think we would have so much space to play and so easy.just think about we were winning the 50/50 challenge when does that happen we still need five new players
Chances are though, Wenger has no serious intention to sign Sanchez and
Ozil before the end of season, making moves from the
likes of Chelsea and City that much more likely.
Somentimes I feel the
likes of
Ozil tend to overplay and look for the perfect goal, while I think that they should be more intent on getting the ball to the Frenchman and giving him
chances to do his thing.
Of course there are goal threats from other Arsenal players
like Ramsey,
Ozil and Mkhitaryan, but do you agree that we need to make sure that our main striker is the one given the most
chances to find the back of the net tonight?
How on earth can players
like Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud, Welbeck, Rosicky and Chamberlain fail to create
chances or even frighten a club
like MOnaco into their own half?
This is simple a very intelligent child can solve this problem.Firstly today our keeper was very poor however i know he will come good.By the way why is Paulista no getting his chance.What i have observed about arsenal since we signed Mertesacker from day one and since he started playing is that Mertesacker hardly gets involved you will usually see him a few times because he does not want to get caught out.e has always been a weak link in the defence even in his greatest performances here.When i see us playing with a high line and he is there i always laugh.It is just a mistake waiting to happen and i can tell u that it will happen again this season.Secondly why is Ramsey Cazorla and
Ozil playing in the same line - up in a 4 -5-1 formation.That is just not right though it will win you some matches due to individual brilliance.It wont work at all.Lastly the least i say about Giroud the better i am not judging him on one game.One would imagine if he was not french and
like chinese will he be getting these
chances under Wenger.To me he will always be an average player and i will stand by my word even if he has good games.
But buddy, wen get picks the players, weber buts the players (or not as has been seen recently) weber sticks with those players when
like Ozil last night, they don't perform, so yea the players didn't do what they should have BUT it's wen gers fault that we didn't have a mire clinical finisher up front who would have put away the
chances that group missed, it's wengers fault that Arteta and canola were Un able to play the defensive midfield role; it's wengers fault that he didn't buy backup for coquellin.
If only we had a striker that could score more goals
like the offside one that Ramsey scored vs Pool, imagine how many assists
Ozil would get... Cause that Santi goal creation pass was exactly what
Ozil does (creates great
chances)...
#kev Spot on keg the more goal creators in the midfield
like Ozil, Mharez, Ramsey, and even Sanchez more
chances is missed by useless Giroud.
Wonder what you lots would be saying if we have bought fabregas and chelsea got
ozil with costa in front.and to all «if chelsea win the bpl, its cos of fabregas» announcers here, i say if chelsea win the league its cos of their whole team and most importantly costa.the thing that prevented them from winning it last season was lack of a proper striker
like costa which jose testified to and not because they did nt create enough scoring
chances (they created more scoring
chances than us last season).
Cavani just
like Vardy is 29 years old and for the money that will be involved I don't think neither of them are good for us, Lukaku is what we need he's young but experienced in the EPL with a proven record with
Ozil and Cazorla behind him he'll get
chances!
After starting the season in a wide berth, injuries to the
likes of Mesut
Ozil, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey forced a reshuffle in midfield and Cazorla grabbed the
chance with both hands and has not looked back since.
I feel that making 1or 2 big signings would give us more
chance of keeping the
likes of Sanchez and
ozil.
The question is who will finish the
chance that the
likes of
Ozil will create at Old Trafford?
I remember
Ozil breaking a record last season of creating something
like 18 goalscoring
chances in one match (I think it was Southampton and the game finished 0 - 0) but it certainly did NOT win us the match!
Despite Arsenal's usual blistering start to the season, we have dropped away in the title race through our lack of goals, and us fans have (obviously) blamed our strikers
like Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott for not putting away the
chances created, especially by our assist king Mesut
Ozil.
Walcott has not scored a goal this year, despite having many
chances provided by the
likes of Mesut
Ozil.
Do u think the
likes of
ozil and Sanchez signed up only to be benched for games
like this.we want Wenger to sign the best but we don't want them to feature against the best teams because u think we stand no
chance.
Well yes, obviously Flamini has the potential to turn on god mode and single - handedly destroy any team on the planet... But we still should at least give those chumps Cazorla,
Ozil and Sanchez a
chance to have at least a little bit of the ball when Flamini gets tired and doesn't feel
like dancing through a wall of Bayern defenders and chipping or back - heeling Neuer with his eyes closed!
What do u expect when we have the most patheticc fans in d history of football, all they know is to insult every player that wears d shirt, no English winger presently has scored more goals than Walcott yet he's always an idiot, their latest target now is xhaka, soon will stop being adventurous to avoid mistakes and start playing side ways and back passes bcos of fans abuse, giroud donkey,
ozil has more assists, hss created more
Chances, has made completed more passes in d final 3rd, has made more successful crosses than any other player in d league since he came to arsenal, yet they will always call him lazy, its ridiculous we v decended to this sorry state, no player will flourish in a hostile environment
like ours,
Surround them with 8 to 10 very good players
like Cech Mustafi Kolasinac Xhaka
Ozil Sanchez Metesacker and Lacazette and shows why we have wln 3 FA Cups in 4 years... now lets push on with 1 or 2 more top players but give the youngsters a
chance to shine... 17 year olds have no fear...!
I say, we don't have a holding mid, therefore lets just revert back to 4 -2-3-1 with wilshere and ramsey in the double pivot, sanchez and santi on the flanks and
ozil in the middle, and lastly, welbeck on the front, we also need to give bellerin some
chances now to let him develop, chambers is more
like a CB
I will not discuss the Sanchez issue, but in the case of
Ozil i feel in this 3 -4-3 formation the team becomes less dependent on
Ozil providing
chances and that benefits the team, because with
Ozil out of the 11 we will not look
like we are playing with 10 men
When you have a player in the side
like Ozil who creates on average five
chances a game, a world class striker unlike Theo or Olivier would be netting 30 a season.
When you have a player
like Ozil that alone creates over 140
chances as a striker you must relish that opportunity and ought to score more!That is the only thing that would keep Walcott in the team along with the fact that Wenger
likes his english core as well as the time he has invested.
But so many other players even when they're out of form have got so many
chances like, Sanogo, Ramsey, Wilshere, Chamberlain (who has since become better with the return of Walcott), Mertersacker, excluding the last two games, Cazorla has been poor since
Ozil got injured, but these players kept playing.
We will need to be in full swing against the
likes of Liverpool and Leicester, so having a fully fit
Ozil would certainly help our
chances.
I think
Ozil has two outstanding skills, a vision to see a good
chance to penetrate the enemy and an unselfish mentality (this is why his teammates and manager
like him).
As much as
Ozil put in a good shift yesterday, he had
like 2
chances other number 10's
like Silver, Erickson, Isco, etc would have put away with a bit more imagination and individual brilliance.
And as his career is a late bloomer he is likely to want to grab any
chance he can get to play at the highest level, so being able to offer the
chance of a Premier League title as well as Champions League football playing alongside the
likes of
Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Cazorla must surely put the Gunners in a strong position.
So before you make up your minds that Welbeck is a second rate striker and that his transfer to Arsenal is a disaster, maybe we should give him a
chance to show us what he can do down the middle with the
likes of
Ozil, Alexis and Walcott around him.
The stats indicate that he still creates as many
chances if not more but with people
like welbeck who can't even score tap - ins it makes
ozil look ineffective 4) If anybody truly watches a match when Ozil isn't playing and you see how the team struggles to even create a proper goalscoring cha
ozil look ineffective 4) If anybody truly watches a match when
Ozil isn't playing and you see how the team struggles to even create a proper goalscoring cha
Ozil isn't playing and you see how the team struggles to even create a proper goalscoring
chance.
Ozil can create all the
chances he
likes our strikers are not just good enough plus
Ozil himself needs to improve on his goal contribution (a natural number 10 can work in a team
like City, Madrid or Barca because they have WC forwards who burry the
chances created and have a good goal return not at Arsenal).
In my opinion, Arsenal should play with 3 -5-2, to make creative midfielders
like Ozil, Ramsey and Xhaka free to create
chances.
I disagree, I feel that Walcott is more than capable of playing up top alone, I feel although he does not create
chances like giroud can, We have
Ozil, Cazorla and ramsey to do this.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the
likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear
chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I
like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act
like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he
like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have
Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out of position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is
like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
«Mesut
Ozil has been there for a little while, Alexis Sanchez arrived after, but when you have guys
like that, then you have more
chance to win things.
i pray he stay injury free and given the
chance to be the target man upfront, at least he will gell with
ozil, carzola, rosicky etc behind him and other pacy destructive weapons
like walcot, chamberlain, campbell, sanchez beside him.
Obviously Mesut
Ozil is way ahead of the
likes of Toure, Silva, Mahrez, Alli and Erikssen when it comes to assists and
chances.
It's so frustrating we don't have a clinical striker when you have the
likes of Sanchez, Santi, and
Ozil creating so many
chances.
if theo, ramsey or giroud had a
chance like that and hit it straight at the keeper, fans would have been calling for their heads but because its
ozil, no problem.
I wouldnt drop Cazorla for Ramsey or
Ozil, they should have to wait for their
chance to take it just
like Cazorla has.
I just hope
ozil will be around next season, it could be our last
chance to win the champions league with players
like ozil, Sanchez and a couple of big signings we can challenge for UCL.
Players
like Ramsey, Xhaka,
Ozil and Welbeck play game after game after game and produce jack squat while someone
like Perez who is barely given a
chance to even proove himself always delivered in his limited times he played.
