We weren't that bad IMO and I think if we had all our best players fit, dropped Ozil and gave Cazorla the number 10 (play centrally) shirt, we would have thrashed West Ham. Oh, we really still need a top striker.

Im not judging the whole season just from this game. Every team has a terrible performance in a season. Just have to hope that's ours out the way.
On another day that might have been 0-0. Can't predict cech to make 2 errors like that.

Coquelin and Ramsey were sloppy with their possessions. Only the first game (same can be said for Chelsea), but watching Payet cut through the midfield, and Giroud being out-muscled by West Ham's defenders is disconcerting. Still have an issue with teams with powerful, tall players.

Ozil wasn't great but the most shocking performance, other than Cech, was from Ramsey. He added nothing to the team and he prevented Ox from playing exclusively on the right.
I really don't like Wenger's obsession with playing Ramsey, Cazorla AND Ozil at the same time.

Agreed. You just cannot play them all. Coquelin and Cazorla are pretty much a given atm - one of Ramsey or Ozil has to be dropped.

That's why for me, it's either Ozil or Cazorla not both, we need more muscle in the midfield and up front on the wings.

Ramsey had a shocker today, due to his diabolical in the middle Coq was the main victim, then followed by Ozil and others. By the time Cazorla was moved to middle it was too late.
Question must be asked, why does it take last minute reaction to sort out things thats clearly not working..

Why would we drop one of our 3 best players?
Cazorla is the square-peg in a round-hole. Not good enough defensively or offensively.

To be honest we should have beaten West Ham comfortably. Especially when they had a make shift right back and a 16 year old playing holding midfield and we had a very strong team out, we hardly caused them any major problems. I hope this is just a one off game and we respond immediately next week. Don't know why we don't seem to win many opening game season nowadays. We've only won 1 opening game in the last 6!
