4 top class goals, solid performance and another win against a direct rival.
Ozil these days is a joy, looks like his old real madrid self and he bags an assist or a goal nearly every game now.
Some beautiful play as well and a fully deserved win unless you are a BT sports pundit.
Dunno why Wenger's getting stick for going defensive when we were three goals up. It was the sensible and correct thing to do.
Had we stupidly gone gung-ho to knock in as many as we could in some sort of ridiculous revenge mission for the drubbing last year and been caught on the break we all would have been slating Wenger on here and criticising the naivety of the team. I still have nightmares of that 4 - 4 years ago when Bentley scored that last minute equaliser ....... I'd like to think we're a lot more professional than that these days.
Frankly outside of the penalty they scored, Ospina was barely tested at all in the second half. They didn't create much and that was partly due to the how Wenger changed the setup to consolidate the win.
They had two sitters which they messed up but otherwise we dominated. Performances like that make it all the more frustrating the Monaco effort.
Now we have to perform like that against Chelsea. I would rather us beat Chelsea and finish 3rd than lose but finish 2nd. 2nd or 3rd makes no difference but I think we need to beat Chelsea and mourinho for psychology. Now we can do it and believe we can beat them over a season for next year.
Most critical game we need to win is the next one at Burnley. It's the Manc derby next weekend and also Chelsea-United on cup semi final weekend. 3 points for us and we can relax knowing our rivals will be dropping points before we next play in the league, which is the Chelsea game.

What a knob Owen is.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
"Better than Ozil"Originally Posted by LDG
The way Sterling controlled the game yesterday and when you compare that to Ozil's anaonymous performance, you have to say Sterling really is better. In the real world. Not just in the world that gurgles around Michael 'Steve Davis' Owen's optional 256K Brain add-on pack.

The Daily Mail had to give Ozil the top rating. That must have hurt. I suppose the only consolation for them is they managed to mark him at 7.5/10. One of the best midfield performances you'll see all year as a central part to a 4-1 drubbing of a rival in a hugely important match and our top mark comes out at 7.5. We had 10 shots on target to their 1, btw.
So it was a really close match that hinged on their keeper. If you set aside the fact he saved them from and even bigger hiding, he cost them the win yesterday. In summary, where did it go wrong for Liverpool and can anyone remember who they were playing?
Meanwhile Ashley Young rated 7.5 and Ander Herrera 8.5. So Ozil really wasn't that great after all.
AzzzzaaaAAAAHHHHHHHH! (missed it) had an off day and was only rated 8.5.
