Arsenal v Marseille

kevinroche3333

Plenty of urgency to start 2nd half, get the second goal and then take off Sagna and Giroud and either ramsey or ozil , key players with alot of games play this season so far.

Drexel

Don't think he looks uninterested or not wanting to be there. The opposite for the latter in fact I think. He just hasn't been playing very well.

Hopefully we step up a gear and put one or two more past them. We can do it if we really want

gandalf

TBH every player needs time to bed in. People forget that he has moved job to a totally different country less than 4 months ago. It can take a full season for foreign players to properly bed into the Premiership. As I said if he scores then we could see an altogether different player and one that is close to his peak form at Madrid.

Hate games like this when waiting for the 2nd goal.
Its the type of game where they score and we're in trouble.
Too many relaxed players out there. A few changes might refresh the team.

Agree. But a little while on the bench might re-ignite him.

I also agree with the sentiment, Ozil isn't up to Arsenal standard, it's apparent now.

He should be sold in January.

Perhaps we can buy Shelvey, and a striker such as Higuain in January,would suit Arsenal nicely.

I know what you mean, I saw that too, although he did look happy a few games in.

But he is looking like a player with his mind elsewhere.

Might not be popular to say it but it looks that way.

He is here for 4 years now so he best get used of it.

tayto lover

Jesus Sagna what was that

gandalf

Is it just me or does that lad Gignac looks awfully like Mark Viduka

Ah well it's not a popularity contest!

He is class and class always shines, through, but I want it now! Impatient that's my problem..

Pepe LeFrits

Can only assume a lot of people never really watched Ozil beyond highlight reels before he came to Arsenal, because he's playing the way he plays.

bad2dabone

Can't believe folks are saying he didn't want to come, the guy would have the pick of any team.

bad2dabone

Jack's having quite a game

keano_afc

Big guns on for Marseille.

Nearly back to his best. Like to see a few subs like Gnarby and Walcott getting game time if we get a second.

Nobody suggested that. Merely an observation that a player we paid over £40 million for hasnt played well in 5/6 games.

It's fair comment and we know he is world class and will come good but it's ok to be honest and be disappointed with his impact so far.

I don't think anyone said that.

It was he didn't want to leave Madrid.

Jaysus that's quite a few dodgy offsides against us now!

Mickeroo

Drexel

Yessss! Floodgate you may open now! Good assist for Özil!

Wilshere having a very good game. Best in a while for me

AdamD

Ramsey's been on another level to everyone else

Ozil's been sublime this half.

tayto lover

Can't remember us conceding a free kick in this game. Unusual.

Jakub Błaszczykowski has scored for Dortmund to put them 2up

Mr Blobby

I think Flamini cut his sleeves off again :pac:

Ditto!!

Wilshere great too but Ramsey is just super when in the middle. Tackling, control and reading just brilliant

gandalf

Ekk that should be a warning to us. Marseilles are not going to lie down!

Alfred Borden

look who is in with the marseille fans

Ozil is Muslim irrc. Many Muslim sports professionals experience a dip in form during and after Ramadan.

Ramadan finished at the start of August so I don't think it can be pinned on that.


Weird going into the last match that Arsenal can only finish 1st or 3rd and not 2nd.

tayto lover

Bring on a few subs FFS Wenger.

Really? That's mad

wonderfullife

Ozil is genuine proven world class. Unlike 1 freak (Ronaldo) even world class players have dips in form. I'd even argue Ronaldo suffers from dips but as i said is such a freak he masks his poor games with hat tricks lol.

It's astonishing for anybody to doubt the fella. He's different gravy.

How do you make that out.
Even if we lost to Napoli we have a better goal difference with them.

First bit or last bit? Last bit depends on the other result tonight but yeah, would mean 1st or 3rd would be the only possibilities.

Townsend is a prick. Anyone hear him shout "get in" as the Marseilles player shot?

.jacksparrow.

Schez is class

Szczęsny is doing well.

Really liking Florian Thauvin.

Chesney is really on top of his game this season.

Drexel

Need to get out shît together here! Szcz with two good saves.

Mickeroo

What a save.

wonga77

Did Townsend just say "get in" as the Marseille player shot?

Yes. Another hater.

Valbuena's a talent and Thauvin looks like one too.
