Yet to see the highlights but 3 points will do. Sounds like Ozil is really running the show.
It's ridiculous how many chances he's creating right now. Theo and Giroud should have filled their boots.
If you stuck Ozil in the City team they would walk to the title scoring 4's and 5's every week.
I'll at the other performances as well. Hope Bif and Theo get back to scoring. Fine finishes against City so not sure what's happened. Too much turkey and booze? But I trust they'll sort themselves out.
Right now Ozil is dragging the team into title contention, from the highlights I saw yesterday he was sublime, his passing and creativity is world class right now and he's been playing at a very high level all season, our most important player and for me a shoe-in for Player Of The Year.
We have to do all we can to keep him fit because an injury to him and our season will collapse.
Yesterday was an important win, we need to follow it up with a win against Newcastle before a tough January schedule.
Let us behave.......!Quote:

The pre planned contingency of getting Chambers up to speed in midfield behind the scenes is a simple and logical move, but also one we have failed to to in the past so I'm glad we did. He looked pretty good, though clearly there are sterner tests out there. I don't think we can expect an injury hit squad to carry us a lot further though.
How many more years do we give players like that to sort themselves out!. As M.O. says above, put Ozil in the City team & they would walk the league. We NEED quality finishers, Giroud & Theo will never be the finished article, they are too inconsistent to be playing for a team with ambitions to compete for titles & Champions league. They both need 5 clear cut chances before they take one - simply not good enough. We knew that at the start of last season & the season before but Wenger continues with mediocre players which will always cost us.Quote:

We have 1 decent DM & he's out until March, we are creating chance after chance ( mainly from Ozil ) & yet we have very poor finishers. Its not rocket science but 2 days ago Wenger is spouting on about people that think buying new players is the solution to everything, well yes Mr Wenger when you leave yourself short in those areas & you have injuries then I'm afraid buying quality players for those positions is your only solution if you want to do more than finish 4th.Quote:

This is the norm, the Theo wonder goal & the Giroud hatrick happen once in a blue moon. Consistency wins titles, they are not & will never be consistent enough. How much more of either of them do you need to see. Yes, we'll win games with their goals but we'll often lose or draw games because of their poor finshing. You could put Championship strikers in our team at the moment with Ozil on fire & we would be getting better results.Quote:
