sides should be equally motivated so it's the wenger allardyce show again... We should
win this comfortably and if
ozil owobi and Sanchez show up we will... but you just never know with our guy in charge
Arsene Wenger has taken us on a journey from mediocrity, to greatness, through poverty, and finally we are at the other

Ozil, and Alexis Sanchez, # 42million and # 35million.
It was our 3rd string DM chamberlain had to be a 5th string CM, we were missing sanchez, cazorla, coquelin,

win with their respective
sides, with Alex Iwobi notching a goal in World Cup qualifying for Nigeria, and Mesut
Ozil grabbing an assist for Germany.
For giroud to score a goal like that he must be high on confidence hence base in current form I will start him against bayern with Sanchez and a fit welbeck running the flanks ragged defensively and offensively, we all know
ozil plays well when carzola is playing along
side coquelin with the back 4 of kostafi and Bellreal and cech to

won more games without him in the
side.
A 442 with Giroud - Sanchez up top can only work (to

Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.
It may well have felt like Deja Vu to the Arsenal and Germany international star Mesut

win by the narrowest of margins.

JUst like a lot of last season with Arsenal
Ozil might well have been wondering what he has to do to get his
side a heavy
win.
Please idiots stop commenting on Giroud if you wish to finish 4 th then support him, if you want to
win the PL the he had 4 chances 3 sitters, how many of those chances would Martinez, Falco, Cavani score that's the difference between a top
side, and Wiltshire May as well sat at home with me, awful couldn't lace Febregas boots and never will, the balance of the
side was good today although we had bo tempo and no focal point, swop play
ozil in the middle leave Wiltshire off, and Sanchez left, and Cavani up front then play chambers DM SORTED
If this was the first time we have had a poor start or had lots of injuries or failed to sign players we need I would agree give Wenger time and a chance to correct but this is why so many of us are fed up is this is the 9th year now.wenger has no excuses he chose not to buy a DM and CB in the summer when he had the cash to do so, he fails to work on the defensive
side of the game and we lose games we should
win, he plays top players out of position arshsvin and now
Ozil.
