Sick of Ozil at this stage

Jack answering his critics today big time

wonga77 · 13-09-2014 2:08pm

Our pressing has improved immensely, Sanchez brings the right attitude to the team

Wilshere has been our best midfielder so far this season.

omega man · 13-09-2014 2:17pm

Wow

omega man · 13-09-2014 2:20pm

That looked bad

.jacksparrow. · 13-09-2014 2:22pm

Yep that could be a season ending injury. I pray not but if anything more than a month and we're already an injury away from absolute disaster

omega man · 13-09-2014 2:26pm

What a co@k up

wonga77 · 13-09-2014 2:29pm

Im amazed that ox hasnt been brought on yet

Wonda-Boy · 13-09-2014 2:34pm

Welbeck for the winner injury time, its a fairytale ending.

.jacksparrow. · 13-09-2014 2:35pm

Flamini is ****en useless.

AdamD · 13-09-2014 2:36pm

Pathetic finish to this game, really pathetic.

Mickeroo · 13-09-2014 2:38pm

That feels like a loss tbh.

omega man · 13-09-2014 2:39pm

That feels like a defeat. We could have made a huge statement of intent today.

In saying that with those late city chances we could easily have lost. Still some impressive performances so there are positives. We can't be written off just yet but the away games at city etc will be the real test.

13-09-2014 2:40pm

Some good performances, some poor. Doesn't look like a turning point, more of the same really.

Debuchy injury could leave us just a little bit stuck.

Gringo180 · 13-09-2014 2:40pm

Plenty of positives out of today lads. Not the best result but main thing is we avoided defeat. This team has a bit of bite in it we will go very close this season.

Just a little bit??

Were ****ed.

HazDanz · 13-09-2014 2:43pm

I'm pissed we allowed a set piece let them back into it.

Nothing wrong going forward today - great goals and Welbeck looked decent.

Conceding that second goal from a set piece was criminal.

Same as last season so far really, we played well at home to City last season too. Drawing at home to the big sides has been par the course (bar beating Liverpool), we need to turn those into wins.

Royale with Cheese · 13-09-2014 2:43pm

Ozil... wtf

Marty McFly · 13-09-2014 2:43pm

Can't help but feel like that's two points dropped.

Still not a bad result and some good performances and a decent enough debut for Welbeck if only that chance had gone in.

emergingstar · 13-09-2014 2:44pm

The injury killed our momentum big time

Happy with the draw

That was an excellent game

tayto lover · 13-09-2014 2:44pm

We just lack the killer instinct and can't seem to close out a big game.

Thought Chez was poor enough for their second.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 13-09-2014 2:44pm

That was a very weird game. Decent result and fair on the balance of things, but feels like a loss a bit. Some very good things but also some terrible stuff. Wenger doesn't seem to think he's allowed use substitutions any more.

Wilshere played well, even apart from the goal and assist. Everyone else was a bit all over the place, good one minute and bad the next. Our two goals were lovely but defending poor for the second City goal and we could have easily conceded more. The injuries to Debuchy and Welbeck were just what we needed. Down to no centre back cover now if Chambers has to play right back. Hayden may have to make a big step up.

brianregan09 · 13-09-2014 2:45pm

It was the injury that ****ed us , Alot of our belief went out the window I felt after that, Debuchy was immense up to the injury , City would have been glad to see him off

AdamD · 13-09-2014 2:46pm

Hes really getting back to his best now, no surprise its when hes stayed fit for a number of games in a row.

Drexel · 13-09-2014 2:46pm

showed a good bit of fight today. Disappointed but not too disappointed. The debuchy injury worries me. he was given oxygen and all

HazDanz · 13-09-2014 2:48pm

Has to be said - Ramsey was poor today. Granted he is back from a niggle but I expected that he would be better than he was, didn't have an influence on the game.

Alfred Borden · 13-09-2014 2:50pm

There the types of games you win to prove your title credentials. We just arent on that level yet and were hanging on at the end. 3rd/4th still looks the realistic target unless Wenger sorts his tactics out and signs the proper players needed. Wilshere looked incredible today.

What was wrong with the tactics today?

It's worrying that he's been poor all season, he had no world cup so should have been well rested and raring to go.

Needs to cut out the photshoots and concentrate on football more.

Alfred Borden · 13-09-2014 2:51pm

Ospina might be getting a look in soon. Terrible distribution from Szc today and could have done better on the second goal.

Alfred Borden · 13-09-2014 2:51pm

Ozil out the left. Either play him centrally or not at all imo

brianregan09 · 13-09-2014 2:53pm

Ozil did move into the middle for the last 20 mins or so and looked a lot better

Drexel · 13-09-2014 2:53pm

Ozil wasnt really on the left though. He popped up in the middle and on the right all match.

He should have trusted the man on the post for the second goal though. Why have someone on the post if you are not going to allow him to head it clear when in his position? Frustrating watching what happened for the 2nd.

Yup, I'd now be of the opinion that Ospina should start.

City's equaliser gets worse every time I see it.

Also at 2-1 up why can't wenger close things up instead of playing the same out and out attacking play?? Nothings changed.......

If debuchy is long term then it'll be interesting hearing wengers explanation.

Marty McFly · 13-09-2014 3:02pm

So Ospina should now start over Sczez.

Szcez is one of the best keepers in the league and has proved it time and time again.

How many calling for Ospina have seen him play regularly? He hasn't even played one game for Arsenal and people are calling for him to start over our long term no1 ridiculous.

I dont disagree but jaysus he pulled an absolute worldy out of the bag from Dzeko, only for that save we were beaten.

Ospina is good... But no way should he start over Szczesny.

Oh agreed but his distribution was awful today and put us under so much pressure. Combined that with Citys second goal. I genuinely think he has been poor this season anyways.

HazDanz · 13-09-2014 3:05pm

He shouldn't be replaced, not a chance. I felt however for set pieces they should be his bread and butter in terms of positioning and awareness of what is expected from people who are on the line. If he didn't stretch across to save the second, it would not have gone in. Improvement needed there for games going forward from him.

emergingstar · 13-09-2014 3:06pm

Impressed with Welbeck and Sanchez is world class

Still more to come from this team we won't be far off I feel

We weren't far off today, one or two small things needed to change and we will be there.

From a goal down to grafting to 2-1 up was excellent. Such a shame we eroded that super attacking play for the lead for a bloody set piece.

Ardennes1944 · 13-09-2014 3:09pm

BT sport has gone to the rugby before Wengers interview :mad:

kronsington · 13-09-2014 3:09pm

A draw was probably a fair result.. Debuchy Injury is worrying to say the least. Disappointed with Ozil today but Wilshere was excellent through out..
