Ozil - Do we need him?

[Power n Glory]

The real problem with this particular hype storm, all plucked out of thin air by Gerrard and Keown. Neither of them has the bollocks to call Wenger out, and Henry barely has the nerve to do it either.

Who cares about their opinion on Wenger if it can't change anything? I could say the same. Pointing towards the pundits just distracts from what's happening on the pitch.

Got to say Keown is so biased towards Wenger, he's always praising him and never really says it as it is, he's always finding ways to seemingly point the finger at others so you can't really take his opinion seriously.

Everyone knows Wenger should have left ages ago, this season is already panning out predictably, Keown is all too happy to point fingers at the players rather than Wenger though.

Trouble is there's only one constant in these many years of failure, yes the players are also to blame, but one man signs the players, sets the tactics, forces them to play a certain way and motivates (or doesn't).

All the problems with the team stem back to one man, sadly Keown refuses to acknowledge that.

Not the pundits. Keown. And the still not inconsiderable number of people who believe Wenger deserves something after all these years of fucking up. The FIRST place you go if you want to analyse that loss is Wenger. Full backs playing in the centre, right backs on the left, natural defenders for those positions sat on the bench or dropped. Moving on to midfield, another Wenger shambles and Ramsey gets plenty of stick but there's no way he consistently abandons his post without the blessing of Wenger. Or else Wenger is such a shitty manager he can't see the problem. Lacazette's role. Subbing him shortly after he hammers the ball into the net when everyone else had missed. Bringing Giroud on but sticking with the same pit-a-pat bullshit. Sending Walcott on to get no touches and then claiming he was to provided crosses for Bif. What a fucking arsehole.

There's SO much to talk about regarding Wenger's bizarre and incompetent antics on Saturday. You could spend weeks analysing it and still come away shaking your head. That was the number one, two, three through a hundred main points about that match. Wenger's bullshit.

Keown conveniently misses all that, or glosses over it, and picks out Ozil. Stealing a living, anonymous, blah, blah, easy media copy paste shite. And even if Keown wants to swallow Wenger's cock whole, he could still have identified Welbeck, who couldn't hit the goal if he was standing in it. Or Xhaka, who had a shocker. Or Ramsey, who has to be the most irresponsible player on the pitch. Walcott, who I think got 3 touches. Bellerin, who was understandably crap in his outlandish role. Or how about Alexis, who couldn't be bothered to turn up at all because he's looking to escape from Wenger.

No. Pick Ozil because that story writes itself. Lazy. Embarrassing. Easy money. Isn't that what he accuses Ozil of? Stealing a living? He's not the only one.

Nothing changes at this club until that cock Wenger is gone. DOesn't matter who gets signed, who leaves, who plays. We know how it's going to go and if Keown wants to add something to the debate he should find his balls and start pointing out the gigantic elephant taking a dump in the middle of the room. If he's a fan then help the rest of us by speaking up.

NQ is the Keown in this case. Rather analyse or take on board some of the criticism directed at Ozil, he'd rather point at Wenger and pile it all on his doorstep. It's the same example I made about Welbeck and Xhaka, It shouldn't take a coach to micromanage his every action on the pitch. You either have it or you don't. He has to work harder on defence and take more of a leading role in the game. If you haven't got the mentality or skill to do the job required, you need to be benched.

Of course I'd rather talk about Wenger than analyse Ozil's performance. Who wouldn't, except maybe Neil Ashton? Singling out Ozil in that last game while refusing to give any significance to the monumental Wenger fuck ups is like mentioning the wheels need balancing as your airbag deploys a split second before the catastrophic head-on collision.

Sure, Ozil wasn't great. He wasn't anywhere close to being the worst player on the pitch. Nothing much he tried came off, same as the others. So what do we learn from that? Maybe if we had better players, a more organised team and a plan we'd do better? Analysis complete.

Now then, that other thing. Wenger. Despite Keown's best efforts, that fuck up cost us 3 points again. Him, first and foremost. And if Gerrard and Keown are under some fantastical illusion that any one player can rescue us from Wenger then they really aren't up to their jobs. Not even RvC at the height of his powers or Alexis busting blood vessels can touch Wenger.

[Dicks and chicks]

Fuck him

[Power n Glory]

He won't be our concern by the end of the season. The fact that nobody has bitten when he is nearing the end of his contract speaks volumes.

Spot on.

I really do feel bad for English football fans who just stick to what the lazy media members say and regurgitate.


Ozil was easily the best Arsenal player on Saturday.

Ozil will be gone next season and Arsenal will be worse for it. (unless Wenger gets the fuck out)

Coming from the man that says scoring goals is overrated and it’s down to luck. Welbeck must have broken his fair share of mirrors to be that unlucky.

I don't think Ozil was really poor but easily our best?

I'm going with Ox. In the first half he should have had three assists. One pass over the top for Welbeck that was hit straight at the keeper. Another over the top for Ramsey that was saved and the pass the pass to Bellerin that should have won us a penalty.
