Wenger say Özil is short for Huddersfield game.

That must be some serious illness

It's the 'Barca Flu'.

He's off to Barcelona for sure.

Thought Lacazette was the best player on the ball in first half .

Arsenal could easily win the Premiership this year. In most of the matches they played very well, including Manchester City, they were a better side, but punished by bad refereeing. November seem to not be such a cursed month anymore for them.

Not sure if serious ...

By the way, what's up with Bellerin?

Every time he gets the ball into a dangerous position, he either doesn't know how to pick out a person or he takes a shot at the wrong time.

He's been very poor in the final third for a long time.

He's not suited for a wing back. Can't beat his man, no crossing ability, can't pick a pass. However, he is fast and makes good runs.

I wouldn't mind if we sold him and bought a Kolasinac RWB version :bounce:

 

[Jasard]

MEH game heh

Haha it was until the very end! Real poor in the final third though that happens against Burnley.

I get so frustrated when he doesn't try to take his man on on the outside and just passes the ball back. You're one of the quickest players on the league, use that ffs

He had an excellent game IMO. The ball stuck to him and his linkup play is improving week on week. I'd like him to get more goals but that will come.. along with 90 minutes hopefully.

 

[redanddread]

Improving his defending?
Red....Iwobi seems to be the new Ox for you....

 

[2Smokeyy]

Thought Lacazette was the best player on the ball in first half .

I agree with this. He's making superb runs off the ball, he just needs the midfielders to pick him out.

Mustafi was excellent too.

 

[Jury]

You've always got to say we were sh*t. We were about as far from from sh*t as a speck of paint on the ceiling of the tallest sh*thouse.

Attacking wise we were really bad. But we were organised and didnt shoot ourselves in the foot. That was all it took.

 

[krackpot]

Iwobi too. he was playing very nicely.

 

[samshere]

I was impressed with how we defended in the first half. Mustafi has always looked good in a stable defence.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

I think Jack needs game time in the EPL. He'll get it but I stick to my guns that it shouldn't be in that front 3. That's just my opinion. I'd prefer to see Jack in Xhaka's role if I'm honest but I know Arséne like him further upfield. Iwobi puts in a shift for us and is improving his defending.

Fair enough, will have to agree to disagree. But I wanna see more from Iwobi. I'd say Jack puts in more of a shift defensively than he does.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Start to worry about Iwobi he seem going backwards he not improving at all. And you can't blame Arsène he play him in his best position every time

 

[MaraDon]

lolo is my MOTM today

Hard for him because service was shocking we wasted some really good positions because players didn't look up namely Kola .

contractualism i think its called.
Its contagious so Alexis and Ramsey are the next ones.

 

[Makingtrax]

Not that I'm unhappy about the win but how can you say this is a ugly win and that we showed leadership/winning mentality? It was just pure luck.

If the defender wasn't stupid enough, we would have had a draw without showing anything to brag about...

You haven't got the hang of this football lark. However well you play, there's always luck inolved somewhere.

We were unlucky that Özil was ill and Mason didn't give our first penalty.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Personally, I think if we had a midfielder like Cesc Fabregas for example who isn't afraid to play the ball over the top, Lacazette would have twice as many goals.

As good as Xhaka and Ramsey have been lately. They both delay the pass. By then the defender has reorganised and Lacazette is in an offside position.

I would love to have a young Cesc in our team now.

Yeah find it hard to understand , especially since he had time and space to go down the flanks , stops and goes sideways .

 

[Makingtrax]

They packed the box mate, it's always going to be difficult, that's why Sp**s and Liverpool drew with them.
