v are not saying sanchez and ozil didn't play bad in the matches but most of the time u can c the chances they created went invain ozil created highest number of chances in epl history still only 18 went in the net doesn't it show the potential of the guy alexis rant his heart out in matches but he was moved to wrong position by manager his form dropped..
I feel bad for him also due to the fact that he shows much more tenacity, drive and composure than other players i.e Sanogo (albeit in a different position), Ozil etc..
wow are we sterile up top, goals need to come from defense again, ozil & cech were great, mert once again taking the brunt of bad comments meanwhile a clean sheet and did nothing wrong, open goal that was saved was kos out of position and monreal caught up the pitch too high, giroud has great ball skills, issue is his position on the pitch, watched the match again focused on giroud, he tends to camp behind the defender from the ball, this only works when you have the quickness to break, he does nt, I have screen shots where ozil is 25 yrds farther up the pitch then giroud, thisis the problem, he is rendered useless unless ozil holds up, and thats not ozils strength, thus very few sog's from giroud on the run, when giroud gets lucky w space in front of the defender, he is lethal, but needs to get into that space,
He had a bad game against Chile, therefore he deserved to be dropped and from my understanding the German coach carried other players to look at in this tournament, so its going to be a hell of a competition for world cup place in all positions for German, even our Ozil may not make it into the squad
Ozil made a bit of a bad decision as the ball was played in by trying to cut it out when he was never getting there, but that doesn't shield Mert who stood still while Finnbogason knocked a beach football flick around him, or Ospina's positioning when he dropped his clanger.
But we all know wengers gonna play Ozil out of position on the wing to unbalance the team offensively and defensively with no no10 in midfield and jack and aaron together which has been a worse than sh*t formation and midfield pairing so far this season.
Whether draxler or not arsenal is still a weaker team, is it something bad if we have both draxler and Sanchez in the same team fighting for places, just imagine van persie, Sanchez, ozil, carzola are in the same team, with likes of inform konsieny, mustafi, and konlansinic, and good holding midfider,... our problem with this 343 information or 3421 information apart from Wenger playing players out of position we don't have a strong holdmidfider that retrieve the ball back when we lost possession... Kant's is perfect example of that, look at the job he does at Chelsea is amazing...... without a good holding midfielder our defenders are vulnerable
Ozil done it once or twice too, lost it in a very bad position as we had men pouring forward.
Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many of the traditionally dominant teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out of position and by not acquiring world - class striker and / or right - side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss of Cazorla, who took a lot of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first type of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments of greatness undercut by long periods of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste
Ozil best position is behind the striker, when we put him wide it limits is capability not to say he will play badly, but may cause him to get stuck in one direction.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
I feel slightly bad for Holding, he was good OFF the back in positioning ect, but on the ball shocking, he didn't get much help from Ozil and Bellerin who were both absent infront of him when he lost the ball because he had no one to pass to, I guess it's his fault overall though, if you're in that situation and can't find anyone just hoof it away don't lose it and give them a chance on goal.
Well... every person is in title of his or her own opinion, arsenal still remain in there position even worse since 14 years ago with ozil and Sanchez for not qualifying for champions league this season..
And for those who are constantly bashing him about his lack of impact in games, maybe you should watch the Newcastle game again and see how much impact a player like Ozil would have had, a player who can keep possession, drag opposition players out of position and requires constant attention from the opposition to stop him from delivering that one killer pass even if he seems to be having a bad game [I recall Ronaldinho had a relatively quiet game in the 2006 champions league final game, he did just one thing all game, he delivered that pass to Eto'o that got Lehmann sent off, he wasn't huffing and puffing for 90 minutes].
watching the game on Sunday i felt like Sanchez is mostly looking for Ozil to make the pass, its as if he don't trust anyone else at times he was holding up the game waiting for Ozil to get in to a passing position, i'm not saying its a bad thing you have to use your best tools in the box but.....
