Rosicky hasn't done that much good either vs big teams in the EPL. If anything, Tommy's numbers in terms of goals and assists are fairly unremarkable. Santi will be the number 10 in Ozil's absence.
Meanwhile, didn't realise Puma released this. What a beauty... very tempting.
Rosicky may not assist or score that much but his contribution goes beyond the numbers.
Its no coincidence most of our best goals have him involved and most importantly he gives a 100% every time he plays. Santi number 10 behind Welbeck, Tomas/ the OX on the left please.
Edit: Btw Tomas was superb twice against the Spuds in both really important FA Cup and League (White Hart Lane) games.

I like Tommy but there's a reason he's not first choice anymore. And yes, he plays damn well against T'ham. not sure. online ada but expensive.
Yeah but isn't one of our first choice an injury doubt? Not implying Tomas/OX to replace Mesut full time, just saying Tomas should be played should Mesut not make it for the City game, which was my reply to the post with the news that Mesut might miss the City game due to injury.
Of course Ozil should start when fit. On his day, the best number 10 in the world besides you don't spend 42 mill on someone and park them on the bench unless you have oil money. Then again its more like hitting a lottery if he turns up with a great performance these days.

So another game goes by and ozil is still shit, continue to be patient till he hits 35 years old k
Santi and the OX could've done so much more on the left. Reason why Monreal looked shit was because he was exposed time and time by having ozil on the same flank.
I seldom disagree with wenger but either play ozil as a number 10 or not at all.
Ozil atm is looking more and more like the next Arshavin.
the whole team is, but i give them benefit of the doubt because of fatigue. They did give 110% against City. But what about Ozil?
Anyway that's my opinion already. Gonna be very hard to change it, only Ozil through his performance would be able to prove me wrong.
Ps: not because of this match I am gunning him, collectively from each match he has played. Just so happen to be, today enough is enough.
I've already been pointing this out since our last 3 games but I got shot by some fans whose rose tinted glasses are too heavy on their nose bridge.
Oh well it's only a matter of time before more fans notice and lose patience.
Kudos to Madrid for being able to con us off 42 mill. Based on his performances he is not even worth 20 so far. And to think we gave up on Cesc to keep him happy.
Id of course be happy for him to prove me wrong but atm he is just too poor.
While the opposition may not be big but tonight is a big game to get our season back on track.
For me the microscope has to be on Ozil. Fingers crossed he will be able to at the very least produce a good performance tonight. Doesn't have to be spectacular, just a good game, even half as good of how he used to play for when he was at real for starters and I'll be contented.
