Match Mehaction: Watford 2 Arsenal 1

[Özim]

I finally managed to see Ozil's amazing miss. From the way people were going on I thought I'd be watching casual one on one with the keeper and time to decide where to put it. Far from it. The chance was roughly equivalent to Iwobi's, yet Iwobi is being marked out as our best performer. Maybe he was, don't know, but he also missed a great chance. Two poor efforts at goal, no doubt, but if we're now pretending it's a new thing that our players miss sitters we must have very short memories.

And we have arses in the media claiming Ozil should be a leader. Do they not quite get the reality that Ozil is leaving the club? WTF? Say he did step up and become this great leader. It only lasts until January. So what's the plan after that? Anyone?

Focusing on Ozil is letting that cock Wenger off the hook, which is by design in the media no doubt, but hopefully fans won't get sucked in and will instead keep their guns trained on the real villains in this comic tragedy.

Iwobi is nothing special, the fact some are seeing him as one of the great new hope just shows how average the team is really, in any other decent team he wouldn't get a game.

I want to know why Lacazette isn't getting 90 minutes, he needs every minute he can get to start filling his boots. It won't be long before the spotlight is on him considering how all the top strikers in the league are scoring freely.

I reckon Wenger isn't his biggest fan, took years for him to sign him, just not convinced Wenger really wanted him, he probably felt he had to bring someone in and he seemed like the only realistic reasonably high profile option (as Madrid couldn't sign him).

Wenger has never liked out and out finishers like him, he wants strikers to does about a million things, being a good finisher is not really a necessity. There's no other reason why you would keep taking a player who could get you a goal at any time off, these kind of players can do nothing for 89 minutes and then win you a game in a second.

Wenger knows better than everyone else. He knows that players new to the league can't play a full 90 minutes. They need time to acclimatise. It's especially important to sub them if they have scored 2 and might get a hattrick. Getting a hattrick in a new league would be disastrous and would probably kill the player.

This is all special science that only Wenger knows. Other managers don't have a clue. They spend big and then play their signings for whole games at a time. It's madness really but I suppose these crazy anti-scientific managers console themselves with the goals and their hollow victories.

Doubt he'd be here if the Iron Overlord didn't want him. Maybe he's giving him a bit of time up top before he converts him to a central defender.

Wenger knows.

Don't forget this is Wenger we're talking about, the guy who signed Perez, Vela etc only to never really play them. Logic doesn't come into this mans thinking.

No, it's another one of his valuable contributions designed to wind people up rather than progress a discussion. Ignore him.
