True. But when you get the decision, the elation is even greater.Ever since VAR came to play I've stopped celebrating with full commitment. And I think it's the same with some people in the grounds as well.

When Özil won the ball near the technical areas, Laca was so surprised that he failed to make the run! It was the intent and I've always felt that an aggressive sprint to engage the opponent works better than jogging around covering spaces. I don't think we can maintain that style which is why we need speed and physicality in the squad.As you've said it's one game but I generally have a lot of problems with the distance covered stat.
What impressed me about Özil's performance and what he's been lacking is intensity and purpose in the way he engages opponents without the ball not this narrative about the amount of running he does.
He actually pressed the United defenders with intent and the reaction from the fans was in recognition of that. It should be a minimum standard though and if anything it proves he can and should be doing more.

@Taylor Gang Gunners inject it, he held it together at the start but loses it at 5:55 :rofl:
Arteta celebrates goals exactly like Guardiola.
They shop at the same store also.Arteta celebrates goals exactly like Guardiola.
I picked up on this too.
Gutted he didn’t scream “TWIIIICEEE TWIIICEEEE!!!” when Jorginho committed identical fouls and didn’t get sent off.
He needs rehabilitation by Arteta before it's too late
Teta was well respected as a player..but I never cknew he was assertive & decisive. Some more wins & we can feel little more better...
I find it very interesting that Arteta played in the same midfield as Özil for 3 years and is now his coach, when Özil was arguably the more talented but worse technical footballer when they played together, especially when you consider Arteta played a similar position to Özil for years at Everton. Very interesting dynamic between these two imo, might be why Özil appears to be listening to Arteta.
Özil worse technical footballer than Arteta?
