Both of these two have had their moments at home against the bigger teams but both are a consistent let down away from home against the top 6.
Ok maybe Sanchez less so but Ozil in the 3 seasons he has been here has been been a complete joke against the top teams away from home. Honestly I can't remember any game against any of the big teams away from home where he has contributed. It's unacceptable. I have never been a fan and have always maintained that he pure luxury.
Sanchez body language lately has also been very poor and is slowly starting to be reflected in his play. He either thinks he is too good for us or something but his play in the last two games has been disgraceful. He has just been refusing to pass the ball to others who are in better positions and then due to the overcomplicated nature of his play, he loses the ball.
He isn't playing like a team man and if Wenger had the balls, he would drop Ozil and tell Sanchez to sort his sheet out or he will also be dropped.
Just looked at Hazard, he may not be has productive as Sanchez but he always plays the right pass at the right time.
I still think it's imperative we tie Sanchez down to a deal but I would sell Ozil in the summer and get £35-£40M and yes with the Chinese market, we could still get that much for him.
As for today's game, it was so predictable like many games previously at old Trafford and the bridge that the result was virtually inevitable.
Worst thing is we still have so many tough away games to come and a double header against a team who would wipe the floor with anyone in our league in Bayern.
Ozil and Sanchez away v big teams

He'd probably stay if we showed true ambition in the summer window. Offloaded the dross and brought in some proper quality, and top manager.
If it's shaping up to be another Groundhog Day season, he'll certainly be off. I'd hate to see him go, but you can't really blame him. We'll never again win a big trophy with Wenger, and Sanchez is 28. Only got a few years of his peak left. You'd want to spend that at a football team who properly compete for top honours. Not just making up the top 4 and group stages

If only selling your best players was the answer to a teams problems eh?
Seriously, you people scare me.

Ozil is the biggest puussay going. You can always count on him going missing in big games. Bayern will be no different.
Sanchez I don't think is the same but you can just tell he's getting fed up. Unless Wenger goes this summer, I think he'll be off or be running his deal down. Either way, not great news for Arsenal.
And he will probably join another PL team too. City, Utd and Chelsea would all take him and if he runs his deal down you can't do a great deal about it.

We won't sell to a PL rival anymore. If we did Debuchy would be your starting RB

I appreciate you don't want to sell him to a PL rival but you've fecked up again.
He's got less than 18 months left now. If you don't sell him this coming summer to a foreign team, then he can run his deal down next season and join whoever he wants to and you can't do anything about it
I doubt he's going back to Italy or Barca. Would he go to Madrid? China? Maybe. Be great for you if he did if he has to leave.
He holds all the cards now.

If all our midfielders were available I would drop Ozil for sure.
How can a guy who cost £42M not turn up for any away game against the top 6 in the last 3 season.

I can't believe arsenal fans are still singling players out. We've one what, one big game away from home in the last handful of seasons? That points to the management being at fault.
Even that big game I mentioned (city away in 2015 I think), there were massive rumours the players took it upon themselves to play like they did. Again the management has to be questioned.

of course it does did you see the southampton game?
Coq has been caq for quite a while now as I have been pointing out when Xhaka was getting flack. Just because Coq looked so much better than Flamini didn't make him the answer. Said so last season.
