Even though he was in that crazy role that only Wenger could dream up he was all over the place linking the play, chasing, winning the ball, making sure the play was constantly in the opponent half and they had no respite. He was mastered by Matic and Ramires today. No criticism intended because, fuck me isn't this obvious, Santi is not a combative central midfielder. That's the position we lack, somebody to compliment Wenger's lucky Coquelin find.

But this does mean Wenger has to make a choice. Ozil or Santi. Wenger will never make that choice, he'd rather shoehorn both. A manager with a sense of proper squad rotation could prosper in that situation. We have a daddy who wants to do the right thing by his kids.
It's a nil nil draw and Ozil is the best player on the pitch? How?
