Arsenal v Stoke

Sorry but there is no debate about the second one,clumsy to say the least.

 

I reckon he can be real good for us. A rosicky type player (but hopefully less injuries!)

 

Wasn’t at all hard for the ref. No offence was committed so easy not to give one. Ref made it up in his head.

 

Proper teams up next on my stream.

 

Everyone suffers from officials,think back to the goal we had chalked off away at Stoke.

 

Generous to Chelsea mate....

 

Out for Sunday lunch today. Just caught the last 20 mins. Great to see Aubameyang and Lacazette both getting on the scoresheet

 

I was thinking of Chelsea really, proper team up next. there changed it.

 

That was the best bit the rest of it was dire.

 

I only caught the last 20 mins on text update, but scrolling back it looks like it was a pretty dull match. Anyway, 3-0 job done and 3 points. Also a decent result coming off the back of the international break. Hopefully this will give us a boost before Moscow

 

Yes, we now have to for for the Europa Cup.

 

Not sure it was him more than Xhaka. We are so used to having Xhaka distribute the ball coming out of defence, we were lost when he wasn't there.

 

We would be so good if we had a proper system in place!

 

Was at the game today a few thoughts.

1. Ozil was quality throughout. Even in the first half when we were struggling to get things going. His distribution and movement was TOP class.
2. Elneny and Wellbeck. I like both these guys - they both try hard but for a top 'footballing' side they just dont have the required technical level. First touch is often horrendous. (We actually looked a lot better when Xhaka came on.)
3.Great to see Aubamayang and Lacazette on the scoresheet. Auba now has 5 in 6 starts for Arsenal. He's a class act.
4. Ospina.
5. The crowd. Still a lot of fans stayed away - I would guess there were 10,000 empty seats.

 

Missed the game but nice to see Aubameyang get some goals in. Sure Wenger will be pleased.

 

Elneny is a decent squad player, tidy enough without really excelling at anything.

 

Watching on my stream so it may have been difficult to tell, but Ozil didn't seem to do very much until the whole team started to play for the last 15 mins or so.

 

If you go to games you can watch individual players and see what they do off the ball. Ozil is a really clever player, he always finds space for himself and he's got an instinctive feel for where the ball should go when he receives it. Not always easy to see that when the camera is following the ball around.

 

I agree Ozil tends to know what he is going to do with the ball and has a very impressive touch. He generally plays good football!

 

He's not the player to dig you out of a hole when the **** hits the fan, but he can change a game in an instant. He's also a wonderful magician on the ball and just has that footballing brain of the likes of Zidane, Messi, Bergkamp, Ronaldo, Iniesta etc. Players who just see the game one step ahead of their opponents
