Plenty of pace up front as well so not sure why he wasn’t looking to dictate things a bit more. His touch was off, his passing was off…not sure what was wrong with him.
It seems to me that so seldomly does he put in such a anaemic performance that it becomes a genuine conundrum when he does

It is also somewhat troubling that his poor performance contributed so highly to the general malaise of the team even though there were few other dreadful performances.

Walcott wasn't fantastic but the desire to cross or get on the end of things himself was there, Cazorla was dynamic....Coquelin put in a shift....but yet with Ozil looking like he'd rather be somewhere else experimenting with a questionable young girl and the business end of a shisha pipe the whole thing just didn't work.
