Match Reaction vs Sunderland (away)

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Not a sitter but can you recall a good chance where he's put someone clean through on goal and we've missed? It's not like we've been playing with Giroud for all our games. Welbeck's last goal is an example I'm talking about. A neat pass slipped through and a tidy finish. I think Iwobi got the assist. I haven't seen anything like that from Ozil lately. It's been Iwobi really coming up with the goods.

Giroud is a problem player. But just as you argue shooting isn't Ozil's thing, Giroud it more suited to a direct game. As one or the Arsenal Fan TV guys said, we weren't putting in crosses for him until he went off. Also, I hoped a player like Ozil could at least get him some extra goals but we're looking at our lowest goal scoring tally in ages. Something's amiss.

Ozil is our highest scoring midfielder this season, of course he gets more goals but it seems absurd to single him out when many of our other midfielders have been grossly underperforming in that area.

Better than anyone we've had upfront since RvC left. F'n Wenger playing him in the wrong set up. Play him in a 4-4-2 and you get goals.

What is Sanchez? Are wingers now being classed as strikers?

Absurd? He's not playing well. Just because of what he's done earlier in the title race he's exempt from focus? You can apply that same logic to everyone else.

It is Absurd because I don't get why the focus is on him so specifically from you. My argument is that considering the goal scoring oportunities he has created this season that have been fluffed, that a drop off is actually a little understandable. Plus he's probably played more than any other player consistently this season (mainly as he hasn't got injured granted).

Right so he should be getting the same goals as Sanchez. And no I don't see him as a midfielder.....we play Welbeck on the wing occasionally doesn't make him a midfielder either.

Lazy player, you can't just blame him being poorly positioned even when he played up front he trundled about and very rarely got himself in good goal scoring positions. Hammer of a left foot but other than that, not much about him thus why he's playing for galatasaray.

But why do you have a problem with me saying this particular player is having an off patch and hasn't done enough in our title bid? Because it's met with such resistance from you, we've spent more time focusing on one player. Also, it goes back to people saying he's an essential player. I don't think so. It's my opinion.

Wenger said before the game that playing Thursday and Sunday wouldn't be a problem as new research shows results don't suffer. Yet after the game we had the tiredness excuse given again. The only thing I'm tired of now is him and his endless list of excuses, getting more and more bizarre now that the old money one has been shot to pieces. It's no wonder the players have given up on him, what a loser he's become. Very sad indeed.

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. Read that on Arseblog this morning. Excuse after excuse.

Well it actually started with someone else saying that Sanchez was more important to retain than Ozil where as I think the exact opposite is true.

I personally think Sanchez is even more worthy of criticism, he can be totally anonymous in games and where as he was tracking back loads last season, he's not doing it as much this season.

I think Ozil is essential as no one else in our squad has his passing ability and ability to find a player with nothing, if he's dropped off that's one thing....though I think your concern about him not scoring enough goals seems rather small in the grand scheme of things when you consider our other far more pressing problems.

Well Exactly...no one made him play the same team on Thursday and Sunday.
