Arteta gives us flexibility, he can easily switch to the more attacking position, depending on thow it goes and then go back deep if we need to defend.
The funny thing is that other players have been playing fantastic, like Ramsey and Flamini, that it's made Ozil seem less of a stand out.
Ramsey has had a blinder so far this season and Flamini has been a rock, but the quality from Ozil is there to see. He is truly world class.
On form yeah but Ozil still isn't fully adjusted yet. That being said its a ****ing joy when Mesut ****ing Ozil isn't the best on on form at your team
That's such a startling comment to read coming from you. Who'd have thought a year ago that you'd be saying that Aaron Ramsey is better than Mesut Ozil ? But I agree, at the moment Ramsey is the hot talent in our team, but Ozil, even in the few weeks he's been with us has shown what amazing quality he has, he'll only get better too. With Santi coming back into the team also, it's happy days.
Honestly... what are you lot on? Ramsey better than Ozil on current form? He's playing damn well, but he's not playing better than Ozil. Ozil is so much a better player generally too regardless of form. At 70% he's better than Ramsey at 100%. Only a biased fan would choose Ramsey over Ozil... ever... We're almost as bad at overhyping Ramsey and putting pressure on him as Spurs and Liverpool are with their players.
Probably not the best to compare Ramsey to the best playmaker in the world. What we can say is he's one of the best midfielders in the league based on form. If he continues to show this kind of form and takes it up a few notches for a few years, then we can start comparing him to the elite of the world. As it stands for us, Ozil is the best, followed by Cazorla and then theres a gap.
I think Rosicky is underrated - he should be in the starting 11. This gives gives us urgency and excellent going forward. Rather have him than Gnabry or Wilshere on the left. Love this dilemma
Ramsey is a different animal to Ozil, he can't do some of things Ozil can, and the German can't play box to box like Ramsey. Someone like Vidal is a perfect comparison to Ramsey.
Thats why Ozil got player of the month....oh wait a minute They are different types of player so you have to judge them on the impact they have in their roles and Ramsey has been amazing. At the end of last season people were saying that Ramsey needed to show the same form going into this season to deserve recognition and he has done that but still has some people like you saying he has to do more. He has his confidence back now and I will get behind him to keep that run of confidence going. I hope other fans do as well. Lets just agree that we have 2 great players in Ramsey and Ozil.
The bus is picking me up at 6-35 in the morning so it's early to bed tonight.Rather than sitting in the Clock End lower I shall be sitting in the North Bank upper as I'm using my mate's wife's season ticket.
Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Wilshere, Arteta, Flamini, Cazorla, Ozil, Giroud Norwich XI: Ruddy; Martin, Bassong, Turner, Olsson; Tettey, Fer, Howson; Snodgrass, Pilkington, Hooper.
Ramsey is not starting today. Ozil and Cazorla will partner for the first time. Looking forward to see how they get on.
Unless he thinks Ramsey needs a rest, I don't see the reasoning behind playing both Flamini and Arteta for Norwich at home
