AMN looking like he’s just realised he’s left his Facebook Messenger tab open with a jealous GF at home
Ok, so not much of a match review to drop here. Qarabag wasn’t much of a match for a very young Arsenal squad. Mesut Ozil single-handedly destroyed them with an assist for Lacazette who finished like a bloody king!
My only moan before we land on the good stuff is this: Why would you play Lacazette and Papa in a pointless game? We have so many major games coming up, that felt really sloppy. Especially considering Mustafi and Holding dropped from the last two games.
Arsenal dominated the evening with 67% of the ball. Just the mere presence of Laurent Koscielny reduced Qarabag to a pathetic 0 shots on target. It was great to see the old stalwart in the side, hopefully, he’s fit enough for the Southampton game at the weekend where suspensions/injuries are leaving us very light at the back. Monreal and Kos looking the most likely partnership (oh my).
It was great to see Eddie, Willock (who runs like Thierry), Saka, AMN, Gilmour and Medley all land runs outs under the bright lights of The Emirates.
Saka missed the chance to become our youngest scorer in Europe when he drove the ball into the face of their keeper Wagner. That said, he had a very impressive game for someone of 17. He’s very strong and direct. He was a real handful all night. The manager was very positive about him.
“We have the responsibility to give every young player chances, first to train with us and to be demanding with their performances.
“Saka played with a good performance, with a very big personality, his personality is very important for us to continue trying to go 1v1 and break lines with his quality.
“He played with a very big personality and sometimes with a very good performance. It’s very important for his confidence and for us also, because we can look at this player and see quality to help us.”
He had 11 successful take-ons yesterday and was fouled 5 times in the process! He also managed to land 3 shots on target, a little timid, but at least he was having a go. I love the way he opens his body up for shots, a little Thierry-ish. His confidence is something else, here’s hoping we see more of him in the future.
Mesut Ozil created 4 chances, he played well. I’m not sure I want to go too crazy about our best player having a good game in the Europa League, but it’s worth highlighting that he had a great attitude and didn’t shy away from the donkey work.
Also worth noting that Joe Willock racked up some numbers. He made 5 tackles, 6 ball recoveries and rocked an 89% pass completion rate, delivering the second most passes in the final third behind Mesut Ozil. Not bad going in my opinion, I really love his confidence on the ball, and, did I mention, he runs like Thierry?
Final shoutout goes to Eddie. He was unlucky not to land a couple of assists, but his hard work contributed to the first goal and his attitude was spot on. The energy he brings must be a nightmare if you’re an opposition defender, he dropped 5 tackles as well, I really, really want him to break into our first team.
The best thing about all these young talents is that you know the manager has a plan for them. These guys are going to max out at Arsenal, if they don’t, it’ll be because they’re not good enough. I think there should be some strategic loans in January, we need these players out on the pitch playing games. We have options as well. Germany is a very fertile ground to learn your trade, incredibly technical coaches and a good level to cut your teeth. Ligue 1 is up there with the best leagues in the world these days, and we have Thierry and Paddy out there… surely we’ll be leaning into them to help players like Smith-Rowe find the next level?
Per Mertesacker is going to make sure the players understand Arsenal values and how to be a proper professional, Emery will make sure they are trained properly. Could be a very fruitful few years. Sancho was a £9m player, now he’s worth x10 that. We need a few hits like that, long overdue in my opinion.
Right, that’s me done. 22 games unbeaten. Southampton next.

So close, yet so far.
With Sokratis being suspended for the weekend, I wasn’t surprised that he played. It also provided Emery an opportunity to see how Kos and him would play together.
“he had a great attitude and didn’t shy away from the donkey work.”
It’s gonna change soon enough.
Why would you play Lacazette and Papa in a pointless game?
For Papa,my guess is that it was probably to ease pressure on Koz
Probably just as soon than this weekend :
“Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey could return at Southampton on Sunday, Unai Emery said after Arsenal’s Europa League win over Qarabag.”
Ozil still a part of Emery’s futur plans ?? Must be a joke…
Papa won’t play at the weekend so playing him there was the best IMO. I didn’t watch the game but from the previous post, some people really put down the performance of the young guns and were generally pessimistic about their chances of making it with us because of lack of quality. Now Pedro comes around and brings my hopes up all again. For the record, I hope all of the make it here. Though I feel for AMN. We don’t even know what he wants to become but not getting opportunities in midfield (due to lack of cover on… Read more »

It’s not so much about playing 90mins every 3 days. There’s a lot of training in between and the fatigue builds after 2/3 months of all that. And once it’s there, it’s really hard to shake off except through lenghty rest and just doing a different thing for a while.
Pierre what with you disliking people who critique arsenal players I like to hope you equally dislike your own willingness to find fault with emery from the start of the season
You little moaning Michael you!
Mystic, no need for any negativity about last night, they all did okay against a meaningless opposition. Getting home debuts was more than enough for three of them, with the others all showing signs of promise. No more can be said.
And whoever it was implying that people are harsh because he’s just coming back from injury – no. If he had been an excellent player over the last season, got injured and came back in his first game less than stellar people wouldn’t say shit. Why do people always act as if history never happened when it comes to certain players or managers. Besides a handful of games, ozil has been miles away from good enough for the best part of 18 months. How many good games has he had this season? Maybe 3? 4 at the most. We’re halfway… Read more »
We had a very promising youth team a few years ago that looked like it could feed the first team for years to come…and that turned into an absolute clusterstink of bilge.
Let’s hope project youth mk II is better handled than the last one.
Other than that, quarkbag were dealt with as they should be. Well done Arsenal.
If ozil was a cat he’d be on his 14th life by now but people still think he deserves another chance
What are peoples thoughts on Elneny?
He earns more than Torreira, has no commercial pull, and isn’t capable of fleeting genius. Curious why no knives are sharp for him..
Emery wanted to give Lacazette some minutes to keep him sharp, apparently. Makes sense to me.
Incredible to see Koscielny smile like that afterwards. It looks like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders. The absence of a certain someone from the touchline surely helped!
He earns more than Torreira, has no commercial pull, and isn’t capable of fleeting genius. Curious why no knives are sharp for him..
Because he’s not really a hindrance to the first team or the squad he’s basically someone who you forget is there who sits at the kids table at Christmas while Ozil is the belligerent uncle who ruins everyone’s Christmas. I mean are you happy with what you get from the sponge or is it simply you hate any Arsenal player facing criticism and feel like you HAVE to make excuses? Elneny will be gone soon enough anyway
Like so many people have stated, Guendouzi, Esr and AMN (and to a small extent Willock) already negate the need to keep El Neny around. I think the club will be looking actively to move him this winter and he must have been informed about it.
I also love how certain types hate it when Ozil’s wages are always brought up but they’re more than happy to bring up his commercial pull.
Kos is one who doesn’t need to play a blinder every week to get respect because he has been an excellent servant to the club and has given his best for a very long time If kos looked rusty I’d be the first to give him a break As for el neny, almost every fan I know is happy to sell him. But as someone else said, he isn’t one of our highest earners, is widely understood to be on the way out sooner or later and doesn’t at least stink the place out with a lazy attitude. He keeps… Read more »

I’m pretty sure everyone here wants El neny gone but he’s not worth the attention. He doesn’t even make the match day squad.
Marko I didn’t make any excuses for Ozil, I made a comparison and an observation. You’d do well to reel it in a bit given your embarrassing encounter with Pierre already, follow what’s being written instead of the usual markoisms of “I mean” “its funny” etc. You’ve just summed up the point i’m making (with excuses ironically). So it’s cool for Elneny to be part of the squad, and earning more than Torreira, because he’s not a hindrance and you forget he plays for us? What an argument. Why not replace his wages with another Torreira? Radical I know.. You… Read more »
Azed
I wouldn’t be so sure mate, there’s been plenty of chat to suggest Elneny is a valuable ‘filler’ in the squad. Not something I personally get on board with as approaches go.
Top of the agenda should be offering Torriera and Guendouzi new (at least) double your wages contracts asap.
‘If you look past his salary’
How does one look past his salary?
That’s like saying if you look past that awful smell coming from the sink that we can’t get rid of, this kitchen is lovely. Sorry mate it stinks
Why would anyone expect a player who “hard work” has never been his style even when he burst onto the scene as a youngster to suddenly start pressing and closing down people at 30 just because some people decided to double his pay, yes people this is not only on Arsene, Raul was very much in the building when he was offered 350k. You can scoff at Ozil’s commercial appeal all you like but even the club have pointed at it as justification for his deal. This place is filled with people carrying pitchforks just because the name Ozil is… Read more »
How does one look past his salary?
You can look past his salary and simply evaluate him as a footballer. No one develops extra ability by simply being on a high salary
I have been trying to stay away from the Ozil issue but it’s getting ridiculous, give the man a break.
What next? Advocating he gets booed when he plays??
Give the man a break? Poor lad
He’s having a tough time isn’t he ozil. Not only is he paid 350k a week, but fans such as yourselves set low expectations for him to actually perform. Better yet his life is so hard that he’s managed to spend thousands of hours playing video games whilst the team he’s paid to be a leader of was burning around him last season.
Poor lad. It’s tough being him isn’t it?
Talk of soft, Jesus H Christ
I didn’t make any excuses for Ozil, I made a comparison and an observation Pretty stupid comparison to make though. Comparing a nothing squad player who makes fuck all with our most expensive and supposed best player. If you’re angry with what the club is getting out of Elneny you must be fuming with what we’re getting out of Ozil. You’d do well to reel it in a bit given your embarrassing encounter with Pierre already You mean the one where he said he didn’t quote Martin Keown when he did in fact quote him. I suppose you would have… Read more »
We don’t need to look past his salary because that’s part of the package to have this footballer
You’re closing your eyes because it suits you. It doesn’t matter how fancy the marble top is on your kitchen unit if your sink smells of shit for 2/3 of any given year.
We don’t need to pretend or ignore or imagine the salary isn’t there. It is. And it’s a total disgrace – much like his lazy attitude frankly
I’m not sure any criticism Ozil gets is ridiculous especially if you look at how he’s played the last two seasons and continues to play. Compared to the criticism that other players get it’s totally warranted. It’s not like people are making it up
‘Don’t think about mileage when you judge this hummer. Just appreciate how cool it looks!’
‘Don’t look out the window at the brick wall 3m across the street obscuring any view. This hotel room is incredible!’
‘If you try not to think about how your mate always cheats on his wife, and only focus on how nice he is to you, you’ll see what a top guy he is!’
China was he handed a piece of paper and told to write down what he wants to earn?? Was he performing any better than this when the salary was offered?? Did you hear of any of our decision makers family members being held at gunpoint until Ozil get’s 350k?? Have you heard of anyone in any work of life who suddenly develops abilities he never had simply by getting more money??

China “Pierre what with you disliking people who critique arsenal players I like to hope you equally dislike your own willingness to find fault with emery from the start of the season” They were legitimate concerns that I’m pleased to say have nearly all been rectified..such as… Cech playing out from the back. Torriera not starting Lacazette not starting Ramsey playing as a centre forward disguised as a CAM. Both full backs too advanced at the same time making us vulnerable to the counter attack. So yes ,I did query some of the original decisions but thankfully Emery to his… Read more »

Just boring, unintelligent nonsense about who does or doesn’t rattle off the same POV you hold on a given topic. Elneny earning more than Torreira dn offering absolutely nothing registers on my radar more than a guy earning 300k and dropping fleeting genius. Ozil has been our best… Read more »
That Ozil is still here on mammoth wages is not Ozil’s fault
How about his performances on the pitch and the effort and desire he’s showing is it okay to criticize him on that? Because that seems to be the single most important and recurring criticism he faces. People would tend to not even mention wages if he was in fact earning them. This past month he’s only played 83 minutes against Qarabag. Is this acceptable
How about his performances on the pitch and the effort and desire he’s showing is it okay to criticize him on that?
Was he showing more effort and desire before the new deal??
No he wasn’t playing at his pace when he got his mammoth deal at all. He was playing at his best. He was running harder, fighting more and behaving more aggressive and involved on the pitch. Then he got his deal thanks to a combination of talent, form, piss poor club management and a fortunate situation in the club regarding sanchez Then when the ink was dry he vanished as only he knows how to do and has scarcely been seen since either on or off the pitch Secondly, it really isn’t important that he didn’t hold a gun to… Read more »
This past month he’s only played 83 minutes against Qarabag. Is this acceptable
Yes it is because he is injured, you know injuries are part of football, the fact you do not believe he is injured is not anyone’s problem but yours and your ilk, yea i can say ilk too
Dino Mavropranos has not played at all..stone that injured man..oh wait he earns little so it’s fine
Kos just returned from an injury ..to the guillotine with him…oh wait he does not earn 350 so he is fine
No he wasn’t playing at his pace when he got his mammoth deal at all. He was playing at his best. He was running harder, fighting more and behaving more aggressive and involved on the pitch
I make it a point not to argue with liars ..everything you wrote above there is a big fat lie
How does one look past his salary?That’s like saying if you look past that awful smell coming from the sink that we can’t get rid of, this kitchen is lovely. Sorry mate it stinks.
……………………….
You take of the u bend and get rid of all the shit that is clogging up the system.
Can you see what I did? I used the shit in the u bend as a metaphor for Ozil.
“Lastly, if my employer offered me a joke salary I’d take it too – but I would make sure that I at least gave an extra 10-20% and do some fucking over time for once, rather than vanishing for coffee breaks a couple of times a day and clocking out the second the clock hits 5pm“
So you work at 80% capacity on your current salary, but are in a position to chime in on Ozils work ethic? Lol excellent. Sounds like you too aren’t pulling your weight from the outside.
“Have you heard of anyone in any work of life who suddenly develops abilities he never had simply by getting more money??”
Looks like Hairline hasn’t worked a single day in his life.
Yes. Before his deal he was even getting angry in games when things went poorly and had some mini strops when coming off or things went against him.
I remember because of how surprised I was to see it and I thought at the time it was all an act in anticipation of his bumper deal or a move somewhere better. Whether his passion was real or fake, at least it was there. Hasn’t been since
Receding Hairline is correct….Ozil will never change ,either Emery fancies him as a player or he doesn’t…
If he doesn’t then he should leave.
Abilities Rambo…abilities
For instance i am not a pilot cos i have not trained for it, you can sit me on the cockpit and pay me millions, i still can’t fly a plane cos i never trained to do so hence do not have the ABILITY

Receding except that it isn’t a lie, that’s how he played the club perfectly. As for playing at ‘his pace’ can you explain what this actually means? Are you implying that ozil has a standard level of consistency? Why is it the vast majority of people can see how he varies wildly from world beater to entirely anonymous for months at a time in either direction So what level is ‘his pace’ exactly? And don’t give me some bullshit about his languid style. Vieira could be languid on the ball. Kanu was languid on the ball. How you move on… Read more »
And lastly I don’t know whether you’re coming or going
You say he was playing ‘at his pace’ in the build up to the deal whilst arguing with me when I said he was actually on good form leading up to it.
So are you saying ‘his pace’ was not close to his good form? In which case why are you defending an expensive player who’s ‘pace’ isn’t all that?
Elneny earning more than Torreira dn offering absolutely nothing registers on my radar more than a guy earning 300k and dropping fleeting genius. Fleeting at best and even then that’s a stretch and again from what I can see Torreira is on 75,000 while Elneny is on 55,000. Why do you have a problem with a squad member who barely plays getting 55,000 a week but are okay with a key starting player regularly playing poorly getting 300,000 a week?

Why is it the vast majority of people can see how he varies wildly from world beater to entirely anonymous for months at a time in either direction
Depends on the opposition and their game plan. He is not a fighter, never has been, Jose called him a coward at Madrid. You get in his face it throws him off, i am not excusing that by the way, but to suggest he was some warrior even at Madrid is being dishonest
So what level is ‘his pace’ exactly?
I am afraid you will have to re-phrase that
Why do you have a problem with a squad member who barely plays getting 55,000 a week but are okay with a key starting player regularly playing poorly getting 300,000 a week?
Because the 55k can be better invested in someone with an interest in playing i guess and regularly playing poorly with regards to Ozil is a bit of a stretch, we do not have any other attacking midfielder in our squad with half his talent or ability, you get angry when Pierre mentions chances created so i wonder what exactly you want from your number 10, crunching tackles??
It’s entirely in your imagination that ozil doesn’t have the ability to be world class beyond just his assists because he has had lots of amazing performances throughout his years. Unfortunately those were in the small minority and the rest he has regularly been a shadow of the player he can be Ozil can find space, turn his marker inside out, see two steps ahead of most players, has amazing vision and one of the best passes in the game. Yet we only see the full combination for a spell each season and the remaining half you wouldn’t even know… Read more »

How many times do we play big teams a season?? Do we get more than three points of we… Read more »
you get angry when Pierre mentions chances created so i wonder what exactly you want from your number 10, crunching tackles??
Goals, Assists and to influence the game on a regular basis. If you think he does that then clearly you haven’t been watching Arsenal enough.
Charlie, everyone can work harder. Unless you’re out on your feet 7 days a week and in danger of death by exhaustion then yeah, you can work harder
So just like all normal people, I would happily find a further 10-20% if you offered me a joke salary beyond what I deserve
And that joke salary for me would be a tony fraction of what pro footballers get for their efforts
This Ozil debate is tiring and no matter how the Oziltologist spin it, Ozil remains more of a liability than an asset. Those who support Ozil (Pierre, ES) judge Ozil based on the football of 4, 5 years ago. Football has moved on and Ozil hasn’t moved with it. In the past, nobody gave a sh*t if a keeper was good with his feet or not but its an essential requirement to make at the top today. You can say the same of strikers who were predominantly foxes in the box. Those kinds of strikers are extinct today. To be… Read more »
So Marko creating goal chances has no influence on games?? You do realize the whole point of this game is to score goals right??
To be a top midfielder in 2018, you need to have an all around game (attack, defend, press et al) and Ozil doesn’t have that in his locker.
Did he have that before his new deal??
Dunno why people continue to go to bat for the guy. He averages about 4-5 goals a season the last two seasons he’s had 9 and 8 assists and you’ve only to watch him in matches to see how little effort he puts in and how little he cares for being at Arsenal. I just don’t get it it’s make believe and more hope than expectations with Ozil these days. Sure we’d all love it if he played every week or most weeks like he did against Leicester but that’s beyond wishful thinking
I don’t think people will care that he doesn’t press if he dominates games in his own way, which he is good enough to do Ozil is one of the most naturally gifted players of his entire generation. Whilst bergkamp was better, mesut could’ve been in the same universe with a better attitude Bergkamp wasn’t built for a high press either but let me ask you, if you put 30 year old bergkamp in this situation do you think he’d have struggled and attracted a lot of criticism? Bergkamp would’ve dominated regardless of our system, and regardless of not being… Read more »
So Marko creating goal chances has no influence on games?? You do realize the whole point of this game is to score goals right??
Right… and again he averages about 4-5 goals a season and has 9 and 8 assists the last two seasons… which one sticks out to you? The fact that he scores so little? Assists so little? Chances created? He had about the same as Ryan Fraser and Pascal Gross of Brighton last season is it all that impressive?
Marko Receding just explained it to you, because somehow you continue to misunderstand a POV and insist on inventing your own version. I didn’t say I’m ok with Ozil’s offerings, I quite simply pointed out he’s offering something and not nothing….unlike Elneny. Hence i’d sooner get a guy in for 55k that actually offers the first team something. Splutter and foam all you want about Ozil, but he’s been our best creative player since moving to us. That isn’t justification for wages, that’s a banal observation. Can you get more for your money than what we get with Ozil? yea.… Read more »
It’s funny but his goals and assists return isn’t what I have a problem with there’s plenty of CAM’s who have similar returns but it’s the fact that in games he’s regularly a passenger and he plays like he doesn’t want to be here. Can’t really justify that
Splutter and foam all you want about Ozil, but he’s been our best creative player since moving to us. That isn’t justification for wages, that’s a banal observation.
Best by a long shot, not even close. Again it boils down to the wage thing and the refusal to look things as a whole. Someone even said Oziologist’s , SMH.
Marko you have accused Ozil of faking injury, accused him of not wanting to be here, so i ask where exactly do you believe he wants to be??
Champagne agreed entirely that at least ozil offers fleeting genius, but is anyone here suggesting we keep one or the other? As far as I’m aware, most or all of us who are tired of ozil would also happily sell el neny in a heartbeat. Nobody is talking up a potential 25m move for el neny and selling him wouldn’t free up wages for 2 fantastic signings’ future wages so most people just take him as less consequential and concerns themselves with him less But again, most of us would sell el neny in a heartbeat anyway, so it doesn’t… Read more »

But again, keep flogging the Ozil thing and making excuses for other guys offering zilch – as you dig deep for more witty banter about posters offering excuses for Ozil. Irony not your thing and all that. Haven’t made an excuse for Elneny I’d sooner off them both. Still a difference between a nothing squad player taking up a squad place and 55,000 of our wage bill and an important starting 11 player taking up a place on the pitch and 300,000 a week of the wage bill. Huge difference. The fact that you see Elneny at Arsenal being more… Read more »
I’ve said id already made my final point loads of times before but this is my last one in this debate (I promise lol) The idea that ozil is how he is and can’t be asked to do anything differently doesn’t add up at all. He’s not a CB being asked to play as a winger or a CF being asked to play as a RB. He’s a n10 being asked to put himself about a bit more and be more involved… in his existing position Even Xhaka who was dismal DM for the last two seasons played reasonable well… Read more »

Hopefully, new manager syndrome won’t kick in just yet.
China I made a remark about why no knives were out for Elneny given the comparison I’ve made. That’s what I find amusing by all the Ozil talk, he gathers more attention even when it’s reduced to simple terms. I made a post that must’ve been rejected with a word on the naughty list, but this is exactly what I find so curious. Why Ozils wages dictate what his output should be is a bit odd to me. Both are guys in the 23 man squad. Yea, call one a starter and one a squad player but that’s weak af.… Read more »

Oh my days, its like a re-run of the Wenger times here on Le-grove today. Speaking of which, its not surprising at all that the same chaps who used to bat for Wenger are now doing it for Ozil. Heck even their dumb-fvcking arguments are regurgitated. ‘It is what it is, just accept it’, ‘He’s been our best at something for X years’, ‘There are more others problems too, please focus on them and stop attacking my teddy poo’ You get the gist.

Joke Friday – Employee of the month is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.
When I was a boy, I laid in my twin sized bed and wondered where my brother was.

I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.
I forgot the most important one
‘Don’t talk about his salary’
Looool
Its 2010- 2017 again
The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades.
Azed, true Ozil has touches of genius but doesn’t fit in.
Any chance we can move on from discussing Ozil or am I in the minority that feels this subject has been talked about enough.
Elneny, shall we all sharpen our pitchforks and surround his house?
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
Did you hear about the crook who stole a calendar? He got twelve months.

Could always wax lyrical about a guy failing to nail down a place after ten years and periodically call various posters jobless because of the frequency they post, or subject matter they offer up. Not everyone is in your elite company you fucking loofah
At least follow the thread, nobody has said keep Ozil he’s priceless. Pierre, arguably his biggest fan, said quite plainly that if Ozil doesn’t fit with Emery’s plans then he needs to get moved on.
Rambo, not sure anybody is suggesting Ozil should not be traded in, think some feel he could still make a contribution this season, others appear to think he’s somehow toxic. Shit, on same subject!
Eduardo
Reference to your 15:20 post –
“Incredible to see Koscielny smile”
Yes, I have to admit it was so refreshing. Dare I say a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders by the departure of you know who.
Ok, I know he’s back playing again, but I sense he is enjoying being free from the chains and shackles of playing under Wenger and all the frustrations and negativity that had consumed the club these past few years.
Just a passing thought.
