Very disturbing sight during the game against Monaco.
An hour played and Walcott enters the fray.
Almost immediately Sanchez plays a beautiful ball inside the Monaco left back.
Walcott skins the defender for pace and arrives at the ball and the keeper.
Amazingly he bottles it and jumps out of the way.
Missing out on either a goal or a penalty and red card for the keeper.
Injury history or not - at £100k per week is this behaviour acceptable?

Hate scape goating players. Everyone of them had a shocker the other night can't single out anyone. Ozil been playing well lately

You can't forget the price tag. If your coming in at that fee you need to be delivering a lot more than what he is doing. Tell me one game against a big team he has performed in?

No YOU can't forget the price tag, I have fine. It isn't my money I just judge him according to his performances. Every game since his injury he has been either good excellent or average at worst.

Sorry but when have any of our players played well against a big team?
Apart from the city game this season every other big game has been a shambles.

of course his price tag matters, otherwise why spend 42m for an average player or 10 good games in two years. OK he has been better since coming back from injury in about 4 games but he he's been useless in every game against a top team. He gets pushed off the ball so easily it's embarrassing to watch.

Not caring about the price tag of any player because it's not your money has to be one the most stupid things I hear on this site (and I read a lot of stupid things on here).
If Arsenal had an infinite amount of money then yeah but our funds are very precious. We're self sustaing, if you care about the club then you care about it's finances too.
All that said, Ozil gets a lot of stick, much of it warranted but a lot is not. He's an unreal talent in a team and position that hangs him out to dry.

it's not only about the price tag though he has simply been poor overall, players like Coutinho and Eriksen have been much better in that time.

I wonder if ppl would be criticising Ozil if Giroud had taken some of the chances where Ozil was involved in the build up.
