And i thought it was particularly harsh when so many of our other midfielders weren't chipping in with goals and weren't exactly contributing much else on the pitch.

But if he's making goals and scoring goals.....all the better.
This wasn’t specially for you, but going back on this, it’s good to see Ozil scoring more goals. Sometimes he epitomises the ‘tippy tappy’ style and can be quite passive. That’s what annoys me most and even after the Burnley game, you could see what I meant about his style of play against a stubborn defence. If he has a taste for goals, he’d be so well rounded and so much harder to stop. I’m yet to see the game and highlights but can’t get too carried away. I have no idea who we just played but regardless, it’s good to see we hammered them and hear that Wenger told the team not to ease off during half time. He’s often been accused of telling the team to slow it down but that wasn’t the case yesterday. As long as everyone keeps improving and adding that little extra, we’re in a good space.
