    City are defending so high up in the pitch these days because every player is defending. So I'm not sure I but that point Leib

    Not necessarily no, but it's not black and white. You're not either lazy or running around like a headless chicken wasting all your energy.

    You press at the right moments and conserve at the right moments etc.

    Fair point and I probably shouldn't have said 'should'. I just think it's the backwards English mentality that people want to see players running at full sprint for 90* minutes for the sake of it and with no thought process behind it.

    *well 70 cos these players are invariably ****ed by then.

    Yeah and they have to be fast, even if they have the touch of a rapist.

    I don't buy that at all.

    Wenger let's him get away with it though tbf.

    Imagine him playing for Klopp or Poch (for example). He'd be dropped like a hot potato if he didn't do what every other player in the team does.

    It's common knowledge too, he's basically put himself up for sale for the last couple of windows and no-one has taken the bite. He's a quality player once a month, but week in week out he's just lazy - get's plenty of assists because he's always just hanging around the oppositions box. If Arsenal had a proper box to box midfielder it would be understandable (to a certain extent) but they don't. At times he lets that team down. Forget his numbers, it's clear he could do a lot more.

    I've expanded this argument beyond Ozil now tbf and said earlier that Wenger isn't the right manager for him.

    Nope, nor did I include the kicking ballboys, crying like a slapped slut or diving stats, cos Hazard would have cleaned up.

    Not sure why you've used Poch & Klopp like they're the benchmark for getting the best out of players, with a combined trophy haul of **** all between them in England.

    Bollocks innit, playing utter ****e like Henderson, Sissoko, Lamela and The Tranny yet they'd both drop one of the best creative players on the planet cos he isn't pretending he's Kante.

    I don't pray to no nigga. I do like Poch though, I think he's great at developing youth which is perfect for United which is why I'd like him here. We'd teach him how to win trophies.

    Except he doesn't do that.

    Why you bringing Kante in this. Man's a baller even if he can't pass and control a ball.

    You can't go comparing Ozil to that first list, i don't think anyone rates Henderson, Sissoko or Lamela (well spurs fans for some reason have a hard on for him), thats like comparing archers road to pete saxton.

    Who's the tranny?

    as for Woezil, let's face it, he's a classy player with unbelievable vision and passing skills (accuracy and speed) and great technical ability. He's not brilliant at shooting and on the ball he can twist and turn to make space but doesn't have the athletic ability to go past someone or defend properly.

    Oh and did i say he was lazy. If i had to take playmakers/winger over him i would easily have the below over him:

    Hazard, KDB, Eriksen, Silva, Salah, Sanchez

    Lamela will be back to his best once he has regained full match fitness. The man was out for over a season.

    Give him time.

    Bobby you know what's happened don't you?

    United have probably been linked to bug eyes so Tel is going to ramp up the hype incase they end up over paying for him too.
