It remember him playing well against spurs but he wasn't in the team when we played them in the league, might have just been that I remember his cameo due to it being early in his career with us. I definitely remember playing Liverpool in the cup having lost to them in dramatic fashion in the league. Ozil was the standout performer. If you go and find the match thread for the game I'm sure there will be comments about how well he played. And trouncing Everton in the Cup was fantastic. I also remember the difficult Wigan game and obviously the final. It was only last season and they were important games for us... As far as being able to recall everything that happened in those games, no, like everyone else who doesn't have a photographic memory I couldn't give you a minute by minute recap. But I do remember the games and do remember Ozil playing well. You have listed each of the cup games and given an opinion on ozil but if someone else does it they must not remember? He played in five of our six games in the FA Cup, scored 1 assisted 2 and put in some good performances including a "very good"* game against Liverpool and Everton (*very good in my opinion! before you get your knickers in a twist!)
Because you just seem to be intent on moaning about one of our players - you've made your point. What's your opinion on how we're playing now? Or how Ozil is playing in this game?
It occured to me that since Santi and Ozil have both been playing centrally (with Santi a bit deeper) we've actually looked less composed on the ball in the games we've played. You'd expect our ball retention and passing to be much better, but it's been pretty shocking the last couple of games.
Good goal from Giroud, but still needs to be far more clinical when he has the chances, as he said, he has to be like a killer.
We are top in the Premier League from set pieces? How? HOW? ****ing Ozil, Cazorla and Giroud that's how.
Thanks for the insightful comment, it helped coz I'm not sure I could remember most of the game... ;p
Christ, I've got this forum open and a computing forum open at the same time. I just replied to a technical thread on laptops with the comment, "Giroud... fantasy football master, BOOM!"
