Arsenal (the fiesta is mouldy) thread.

Imagine how good Ozil could be if he was played in the middle of the pitch instead of shunted out onto the wing?

Wenger makes some bizarre choices.

well to be fair that's where he played his best football for real and germany before he came to arsenal. wenger played him through the middle when he made the move but eventually shifted him out wide when his form dropped to take pressure off him.

I wouldn't say his form is "dire" but it is clear he's not at the top of his game.

Playing him the middle would weaken the side way too much in his current form and wenger loves to let players find form by playing them on the left.

He'll come good.

i dunno, 1 goal and 2 assists in his last 20 odd games is pretty dire. he's been one of my favourite players for years but there's no point beating around the bush.

he was a passenger in the german side at the world cup and hasn't looked himself for a long time in an arsenal shirt.

the thing that strikes me most about him now is that his head has dropped. he looks like he's struggling for confidence and i'm not sure how that came about.
