There's something really satisfying about the routine way that we're dispatching the teams that we should be beating - I don't have any nerves going into these games at the moment.
I'm also loving how (West Brom aside) we just don't do draws any more - draws are for cowards!
He didn't - he was checking to see he was marking Ozil. Did everything right apart from maybe when he checked where Ozil was, he could've just tried tugging his shirt. By the time he looked forward Ozil was already putting it in the net. Ozil seems to be great at ghosting into space. Think about his role in Wilshere's 2nd goal against Marseille.
Great attacking players seem to have this ability to find pockets of space in the attacking 1/3. Van Persie is the master of it right now - even if there are 5 defenders around him, he manages to drift into an area where a pass is on. Ozil seems to have poor composure in front of goal but by the end of the season he'll be 1 in 2 Tactregas goalscorer.
I wanna know the story behind Santi trying to pinch Özils ear :D Seriously there is to much bromance in this arsenal team, i love it <3
And Flamini trying to break up the celebrations to get them to focus.
I'm not sure if he intended that way but it ended up a clever piece of misdirection from Ramsey.
The #4 moves to cover the inside channel but when Ramsey checks back out most times you expect the easy ball across the middle. He just wasn't expecting the ball inside or Ramsey's piece of skill to set it up and Ozil's casual trot into that space didn't alert him.
Sick.
Far happier than in previous years going into these so called "easy" games expecting to win. We are creating so much infront of goal that inevitably we will take 1 or 2 chances, that plus the fact we are far more solid defensively means we are winning far more games that we would have lost or drawn before. We got away with giving Bentdner a run out yesterday which wasn't really a risk against such a poor Hull side because we are scoring more goals form midfield thna attack. It would also give Giroud a kick up the arse because although I think he started the season very well, I think he has been really poor for the last 6 games. People on here have been talking about him being the "best in the world" at bringing others into play - he's use of the ball has been useless in the last 6 games. It worries me that he isn't on the same wavelength as the clever lads around him. The slight concern is that we are failing to really finish these teams off, can you imagine what our results could have been with a Suarez or Aguero in the side. We need to add finishing quality upfront. Now that we have money to compete, we have to be the team to buy the next super-striker available. It may not be this year but the world cup will give us the Showcase to bring in what we need.
Been in other forums lately to see what the Mancs & Spuds are saying - Ooh to be a Gooner.
