    Ozil is by far our key man --

    "Mesut Ozil has had a hand in 14 goals in his last 13 Premier League appearances (two goals, 12 assists).

    Ozil has now recorded 12 Premier League assists this season, the most by an Arsenal player since Cesc Fabregas in 2009/10 (13)".

    He's starting to get the credit now but Ozil is a joy to watch, one of the players that is on a different level. He has been awesome all season, chuffed we have him.

    Agree but the down side to that is the likes of Barca and Bayern will be sniffing around for him in the summer. Cant see him staying if that happens and who could blame him.

    Ozil has been the star all season. It will be great to get Ramsey back if he could get firing on all cylinders


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,063 ✭✭✭MaxPower89


    Ramsey always seems to get in positions to score, he's always on the move, very elusive.

    Great work ethic from the Bournemouth team against Chelsea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭emergingstar


    Thing about Ramsey is no matter how poor he is playing he never gives up and always gets up and down the field

    Goal and assist today too, I'm glad to have him back in the middle where he can infulence games more

    Just seeing MOTD now. Sunderland could have been out of sight. What has happened our defence. Gone back to the bad old ways it seems


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,779 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie


    Ugh. Can't believe we didn't beat Norwich.

    If you watch our defending as close as i do you'd see that they have been poor for quite a long time now. Some very basic errors. Even in the first half today Mert failed to move out with the other three and nearly caused an early goal. Basic defending.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,779 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie


    I hope I don't get a yellow card for this...

    but Erikson has really stupid hair.

    I'll hold my hands up. It was deliberate.

    It's weird all our injures up the field then our defence starts acting up with as you said basic basic errors

    Per is a passenger at this stage

    He's slippery, like a shnake.

    I thought there had been a huge improvement the last year and a half on the defensive side. We have def regressed again tho.

    Is it lack of practice on the training ground I wonder. Seems very strange.

    They seem to be all over the place and not cohesive at all.
    Even in the last few games Bellerin who i ave a great time for has been very lax, easily shook off the ball and gets caught out of position a lot.

    Mertesacker low on confidence and Bellerin's lack of experience showing now.

    Any chance we could steal the loan of Song off West Ham? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,063 ✭✭✭MaxPower89


    I think Bellerin is also suffering from not having the Ram in front of him, the Ox can be very lax at times. Bellerin's level has dropped a little also, to be expected from someone so young.

    When the defence was solid mert always seemed to be the back bone of it. He was the organiser. When he was out we went back to four headless chickens much like we are now.

    I wonder is his heart in it any more

    30 seconds in boiled water...be grand ;)

    I'm assuming he is celebrating a new arrival? What the hell did Bebeto start back in 94? These footballers don't half like to remind us they can get a woman pregnant.

    Like the start of that old poem 'More Power said old Power when young Power was born.....'
