So should Iwobi.

Disciplined, effective passing without the Hollywood crap, accurate and still manages to get shots on goal. Helps us control the midfield as he always comes looking for the ball from deep. Great positioning.
Watched some of the AFTV vids this morning
The DT banner guy said Ozil stormed down the tunnel and didn't acknowledge any of the fans (only player who didn't)
Seems he's gone :(
Ozil at Arsenal is like a complete waste of time if he's the whole picture rather than a piece of the puzzle. You buy Ozil. You follow up with Alexis and then you go out and splash £60mill on the striker. We bought flowers and dinner for two but forgot to have a girlfriend.
On a happier financial note, I reckon Ozil and Alexis are worth £60mill a piece in this inflationary market so we'll be turning a quick profit. Then we can buy a striker who won't be able to do it on his own. Been there before.
It's almost as if we have a complete idiot in charge of the transfer policy.
Ozil has created how many chances for us this season?
It's not his fault if the muppets in the middle can't finish them and if he's frustrated enough about that to leave then I wouldn't blame him one bit.
One good season out of three, constantly missing in the big games. Not worth the money, or the flakiness.
Didn't see the game so can't comment, but it seems like we created a bucket load of chances, but didn't finish, and we know we can't defend. Our woeful finishing encapsulates Wenger's outmoded approach to the game. Its as though he thinks that he turned Anelka; Henri; RVP into world class strikers, then the same will automatically apply to Giroud and Walcott. The same applies to the likes of Ljungberg; Pires and Vieira. Wenger seems to think that goals from midfield will do the necessary - yet teams are better organised and the way we play means that space for MF's to exploit goal wise is a rare thing - particularly for the 80% of teams who look to contain and hit us on the break. And at the same time playing the high line that he insists on doing and his rigid adherence to zonal defence looks dated and completely ineffective these days.
Its so frustrating that with a real class striker we might have won this game if not the tie - but this is Wenger all over - stubborn refusal to take relatively small steps to make us properly competetive - and I don't see it changing.
