Mandzukic is replaced by Muller. Another player on a card removed, but it's probably more about bringing on the more clinical striker.
This is a graphical representation of utter domination. Between kick-off for the second half and the hour mark Bayern Munich had 90.5% possession. Extraordinary.
Watching players like Ozil make you realise how signing VDV for 8 million was one of the best deals in premier league history. at least he cared about performing and had more quality then Ozil.
I don't think that there's any doubt about Ozil's quality, for me, it's just that he's something of a luxury player, quite like van der Vaart.
You almost have to build your side around them to get the best out of them and I'm not sure that Wenger's done that or that he'd be willing to.
VDV has more quality then Ozil, he scores, assists and doesn't need world class players around him to perform, plus while VDV was a "luxury" player, he showed passion for the shirt. Ozil simply doesn't care about his performance and has zero passion for the shirt.
The Gunners are mad![]()
I've had a couple of drinks, enjoyed a very exciting game in the best competition in the world against the best team in the world in which we matched them in the first half and lost after a red card in a rather respectable manner given the quality of the performance.
I wonder if our fans, who for some reason want the goons to win trophies, will be disappointed? how any spurs fan can want the goons to win trophies is fairly pathetic (no offence). You can admire Wenger or the goons for their football, but to want them to get success? can't understand that.
Luckily, no matter how talented Wenger is they will never win the league (again) or champions league while he is manager.
