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

That way there would be more urgency in his game not in midfield where he slows down our attacking play by having to turn 360 degrees every time he has the ball before passing backwards or sideways.

But I can't for the life of me understand why the dumb frog can't see the weakness in midfield or the need for another strike option... arteta is a player I like but he simply can not boss the midfield it's not in his game his Ariel cover is non existent and since last year his excessive lateral passing is a major reason for us being slow out of defence....

It's draining we lost to spurs but more over than anything the way we lost was embarrasseing and shocking we were played off park most game that has concern us as fans spurs bullied us out played us hungry in every department it's has fall with wenger when is time when he just accepts game has passed him matter of fact it has passed us arsenal fans aswell no control in middle very poor from xhaka and elneny and again dembele bought mortgage in midfield he's the owner my god vieria would of knocked he's house down but look we're very poor and away from home sad really how wenger keeps he's job is just pure stupidity but not just with today's results over all away from home we're relegation side go get Enrique before Chelsea get him and let but of class and youth take our great club back before Tottenham spuds leave us so far behind we won't even complete this series lack lustrous club

But we should not forget that although Rooney scored in both of the England games and was a key figure, it was our midfielder that was voted Man of the Match both times and it was Jack's control of the midfield and his passing and bursting forward that allowed Rooney to flourish.

He completely controlled the game in central midfield and kept applying pressure with his dribbles and intelligent passing.

Whether it's his ability to offer defensive coverage and break Arsenal forward quickly or his talent to dictate the tempo of a game and string passes together in midfield and set his side on their way, he is absolutely vital to the style in which they play.

When he has confidence to pass the ball forward he will be very good.still not as good as Monreal for defending or going forward but by learning from Monreal, s game he has youth on his side.Would not give him first up in Champs Lge but certinaly coming on for a left midfielder with 15 to go CB

But we ddnt dominate in either just had more lateral possession... what was clear from both games is that wenger had failed to create a midfield that could control the game through the right mixture of power pressing and passing... And as long as we have xhaka Ramsey elneny and coquellin as the choice set for midfield that will remain the problem... even Saturday it was the one area where spurs looked better than us and that was with sasoko for god sake... And this can only be laid at wenger's door

He dictated the game from that position, he ran the midfield and his passing and quickness on the ball meant he controlled the pace of the game which was key in our superb display just 24 hours ago.

too conservative in my opinon, even mou had a dig at him, saying his side watched him delay the game by passing from side to side the whole time, the team has no balance in my opinion, 3 attacking midfielders, 1 defensive mid, 1 winger, and a so so striker, with the back four, thats what it is.
