FA Cup winning World Cup Finalist Ozil, 7 goals 12 assists in 1st season being placed in the same bracket as Soldado and Lamela as a flop.

People in glasshouses and all that !!!

Meh. I'm done on all that. If people want to slag off Ozil on another part of the internet, then let them away with it. People who know what they're talking about will all have the same accurate opinion on him.

People don't watch him closely i.e. his work-rate, passing accuracy, mileage covered, positioning, how he makes room for himself to receive a pass and how he knows when and when not to make a pass etc. They watch to see how many goals he scores or how many shots/misses he has. Then they criticise. I think most of them never kicked a ball in their lives and only follow teams because their dad did.
They don't see his positioning. How he gets beside his midfield opponent when the other team has the ball thus preventing the pass to that opponent and forcing them to go other routes. They don't see why he is picked nearly first when the team is selected or what separates him from other lesser players.
Some people just never see work done by the best players, the simple things that sets them apart. They just count goals and assists.

Deserves it, quality left back and it's a shame about the injuries

Ridiculous how he's always overlooked by England but to be fair it's one position England aren't short of.. Maybe Ireland should have a look to find a Granny get that Stephen Ward clown off the team

WTF has Ramsey done to his leg?

Last comment on the unpopular opinions thread i'm not getting involved, just pointing it out for anyone who wants to have a look.

BTW anyone with twitter, Emirates are with Ramsey and he's answering fan questions.

couldn't care if he tattoos his whole body as long as he gets better and better on the field is all I care about. My question is where does he get all the time to get these tats done, he's jet setting everywhere if you look at his instragram and Twitter.

Seriously I really want to know the obsession everyone has with slating ozil.

One season under his belt and he done better than Silva or hazard on their first season.

Not to mention this world cup.

Its the same ones bringing it up time and time again. Everyones entitled to an opinion but when you have to keep repeating it, it feels like they are just trying to convince themselves.

He's the scapegoat for the press and rival fans who hate Arsenal but would take him just as quick if he was let go. He's had a good solid first season, no one has been saying he's been world class but people saying he's a flop are talking out of their arse. He's done fine at the world cup.

I think some fan's on here haven't watched him week in and week out and are easily lead by the pundits and papers, criticise him.

I have noticed aswell that its fans of one of our rivals slagging him off and often there are fans of our bigger more successful rivals defending him..

Yup, i suppose them top teams can appreciate quality players. Would be hard to when one only comes along every 10 or so years.

Hahah he tweeted someone back about saying mert loves a good ole sing song on the back of the bus after a win.

I was one of the lads annoyed we hadnt signed anyone yet but to get Sanchez for only a couple million more than Lallana is absolutely genius from Wenger. Never in doubt :cool:

I don't like putting the mod hat on in here but giving out about the Liverpool, or any other Superthread for that matter, is not on. All it does is bait posters into coming in here and causing aggro like what happened a couple of days ago.

Unless talk of an other team is within the context of Arsenal it shouldn't be in here, if someone is criticising a player or the club then you should respond to them in that thread rather than posting their opinion in here so everyone can have a good laugh or whatever.

If you think someone is posting stuff in another thread just to wind up particular fans then report it.

Ken Shamrock

I agree all this slagging off on other clubs players is not on.

Anyone know what injury Gnabry is carrying?

Ken Shamrock

In fairness Hazard had a pretty decent season, a shining light for Chelsea when players like Willian have been massive flops

Where did you read he was carrying one, the Injury Room says we have no injuries?

He had a knee injury last April but I'm sure it's just precaution.

Theo Walcott has almost fully recovered too.

No they're all good to go! Walcott has completed his rehabilitation and is in light training.

Kind of like when you get an amber injury icon in Football Manager

I thought Willian was quite good last season, a seriously hard worker who doesn't think it's beneath him to track back.

Really?? Didn't he get like 4 goals or something in all competitions? Had about 1000 shots off target...he's forever wasting opportunities , 2 assists for the PL year? i thought he was shocking.

Dapics

Alright Guys, Serious question here.

Would ye be happy with Remy? I think he is a better player than Giroud for what it's worth.
Imagine the pace of our attack with Remy, Sanchez and Walcott with Ozil providing the through balls. We would tear defenses apart! For me the prescence of Giroud in the same side as Sanchez and Walcott is counter-productive. I want the guy gone.

You think that a donkey is better than Giroud. As to Remy, he would add something different and would be a good option to have off the bench or to cover for injuries. Really could have done with him last season to be honest
