Don't know how big games get when you can't even make it into the CL *shrug*
Giroud is all about strenght and keeping the ball, he has zero pace. This is why I think that a Giroud - Walcott combo isn't all that great. Fire and water.
He disappeared in a great number too. Saying Ozil disappears in big games is false, like me saying Bale disappears in every big game.
Napoli for example was a big game, Ozil was brilliant that game and won us the match in the first 20 minutes but that's forgetten...

I do, my problem with you guys was how utterly ridiculous you sounded.
All those formations without Rooney in them. I loled so much.
I'd hate to incur Pulga's wrath, but Ozil certainly didn't disappear for 88 minutes tonight.
So far he has been an integral part of our season and even got an assist tonight as well as having/creating some great chances..He plays a big part in our passing game. It seems like unless a player scores or assists he gets marked as "invisible". Which in this case is absurd especially as he was on the assist sheet tonight.

He's due a broken leg. So he can just about recover before the world cup.

It's false? Exuse me? You've seen him play - what - ten matches for Arsenal and suddenly you're the Ozil expert?
I watched him for three years. His amazing vision is only matched by his uncanny ability to disappear when the team needs him the most.
I don't know if I'm one of the few Madrid fans who never bought the "Özil disappears in big games" excuse. He doesn't, but he disappears in games yes.

Cazorla seemed a much bigger influence than Ozil today, and certainly not because he got on the scoresheet.

All of our midfielders were better than Ozil tonight, but that does not make him invisible.
We've the best midfield in the country, sometimes some shine more than others. It happens. On another night Ozil would've been the one we would be waxing lyrical about and has been in the past.
I do have to disagree here. Someone of Özil's quality should do much more than just an assist and pass some balls, he was not among our strongest players out there today. Fair enough, he doesn't have to be each time and some Arse fans might think he put a decent effort into the game today but when Özil plays a good game you really notice it. Assists, impossible-looking passes, amazing at picking out the right players at the right time etc. Shit, he's so good then.
Madrid are one of the most watched teams on the planet but pretend only you watched him. none of us watched his matches for Germany, of course not.
Suen, all players disappear in games. I can give you plenty of games for us when Fabregas done fuck all. That's the point of a team and having more than 1 star. Can't shine all the time and shouldn't have to.

Agreed, I'd like us to buy a poacher in January/the summer; someone like Hernandez would be brilliant for us. Chesney has got loads better too, still cocky though. He needs to cut that out :lol

But Ozil cost all that money though. He should be held to a higher standard.
At least that's what I've learned on GAF, where if Bale doesn't score a hattrick and 6 assists in a game he's a flop. Seems fair to me the same standards should apply across the board.

But how frequently do they disappear? Asking the player to be godlike every match is not reasonable I very much agree on that, but then players get shit thrown all the time if they stay inconsistent for a period of the season. Özil has no consistency throughout the whole season so why does he get a special status? Someone who's previously played at Madrid shouldn't even have those problems. If he wasn't so fucking good at what he does we would benched him in Madrid for someone who can at least have 3-5 fives good games in a row.
Özil always scored/assisted in RM important matches. Usually when you don't notice a player is because he's actually doing his part right, and not making mistakes.
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit :lol. You're nothing more than Milol this season
Have to disagree with Wilbury on Rooney's performance today. He was our best player and the heart of our best attacking play.
Still a potato faced cunt, but he's not crap. He's far from it actually. In better form than I've seen him in for a couple of seasons.
Maybe not world class right now, but if he keeps up with his excellent output for the rest of the season then you'd have to consider it.

Just saw that Milan's in 10th. How hasn't Allegri kept his job this long??
He definitely should have finished those chances he created for himself, for sure. Hopefully he has a great game next week! We need it.
And if you'd said "Ozil should have played better" instead of calling him invisible then we would've had nothing to disagree about. I haven't been paying attention to Madrid, so haven't a barmy about the Bale situation.
But Ozil's assists stats for Madrid were outstanding and so far his Arsenal stats are outstanding but early days in his Arsenal career but Ozil against Bayern Munich in that semi final was fantastic. Remember Cazorla last season and how many games he disappeared? If I recall, quite a few.

The Milan fans just unfurled a giant banner reading "We did warn you we needed a defender and midfielder..."
Writing was on the wall this season. Galliani fucked up big time over the summer, he might deserve to get fired in addition to Max, I hate to say it.
Pep in an interview after the game:
"I have to correct my concept. I will tell my players first what this mean. It's about tactical stuff. We have to improve ourselves to win the league.
"I'm surprised by this level (of the league). It's completely different when you play against a German team in Europe. The stadiums are sold out, the teams are dangerous. This is a big test for me as a coach."
"I still need time to get to know my own team... and the other teams. But of course you don't have time in football".

Ozil's stats were fantastic because we were demolishing minnow teams left and right.
I don't why you gooners get in a fit when it comes to Ozil. He's fantastic when he's in the zone, but when he's not (and that happens many times during the season) it's like playing with 10 men. Deal with it, you didn't buy Messi or Ronaldo. But stop trying to make Ozil out into something he's not.

Think we should go for Yoann Kebab in Jan.
£20m ought to do it.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL Pep please, you're not fooling anyone.
It's like fucking doing the SAT with a cheat sheet in your pocket.
I wouldn't mind. Dem long shots.
Go play FIFA 14. Maybe you can win La Decima over there!
They were outstanding but he had the potential to do so much more if he lasted 90 minutes and didn't disappear in random games. Cazorla has improved lots since then and I can't deny that Özil is looking much stronger now than what he did in Madrid (especially in his last season there). His biggest improvement imo is in attack, he takes the opportunities he gets to score which he rarely did in Madrid. Surprisingly he's also stayed active for 90 minutes in most of his games but I'll wait and see if that changes later in the season.

Don't blame him. They should've kicked it out.
It isn't a fit, you're spreading blatant misinformation.
His shit haircut just makes him an even bigger cunt.

Coutinho crapped his pants hahah
I imagine Suarez had all kinds of nice thoughts in his head he wanted to verbalize
The same could be said about Cristiano Ronaldo.
Özil was always the key player in RM important matches, like it or not. He may not be the one scoring most of the goals, but he was the one who started the whole play every time.
He's a good player and in better form than last season, but imo we need to aim higher. However, we aren't signing world class players in Jan so he'd probs be the best we could do for that window.
As does William Fichtner.
I have hope for Allegri. He'll be given an ultimatum and pass the test brilliantly. He's immortal. IMMORTAL!
