With 8 minutes left Wenger saved his legacy
Wenger knows

I'm puzzled as to why Ozil isn't being played through the middle, absolute waste of his talent.
We also really should have bought a DM.
Other than that I'm happy with Wenger and this window.
4 games in and it's pretty clear Wenger is holding us back.
Zonal marking leading to free headers.
The best number 10 in the world on the left.
Plays a guy with 0 work rate and hates tracking back in front of Monreal, a defender that needs as much help as possible, against Zabaleta and Navas.
Goes into a 50 game season with 6 defenders.
Doesn't buy a holding midfielder.
Yeah, fuck off.
On the plus side:
After years of dross has finally started signing decent defenders, Kos, Merts, Debuchy, Chambers - chances are we'll get it right with those guys.
He'll have to change his mind on Ozil when Walcott is back, in fact he'll have to change the whole system if he wants to take advantage of the talent at his disposal.
Turns out Ramsey is a deeply technical player, who knew? He's the guy who will end up playing left, he's perfect for it and we just have to buy a defender in January - we must.
See previous - we must buy a defender, even Wenger knows this.
I suspect Wenger has a long term prospect on the radar, Bender. Now that our players are staying instead of running out the door, it may only take one more transfer window to get this right.
But yes, we have demanded the players up their performances and many of them have. The manager needs to up his game too.
Für eure Sicherheit
Hmmm i don't blame Wenger for Ozil....if nothing else i think Wenger gives players freedom to express themselves despite the starting position they are shoe horned into...Ozil is just not trying.
Ozil often drifts into wide areas when playing the number 10 and if his performances were significantly different to what we're currently seeing, then yes, blame Wenger.
But this is where he played for Germany and there is a reason why both coaches have shifted him wide. The German coach won the World Cup for crying out load! Was he wrong?
