Bendtner should've scored though.

Serge should have come on for Flamini. That would've given us more balance.

It wasnt decisive Dubbed.

We havent got one on our bench who can make a difference. That is more worrying.

Should have subbed him for Gnabry and sooner IMO. Or Ozil, but he's slightly more likely to produce a goal out of nothing than santi.

I don't think we will win the league and it will be a shame if its due to a pointless lack of depth, as if we couldn't have rectified it.

He took a knock to his knee Dubbed. Was struggling.

Disagree. Cazorla's our second best player. And he's a much bigger goal threat than Ozil.
Tis true it ain't just about that. But him along with Ozil would be our biggest chance to create something.

Should have subbed him earlier. As soon as Gnabs came on we exploited the right hand side, and created 3 or 4 very good opportunities.

Cazorla was poor. But so was Ozil.

Ozil looked better when he had Gnabry to work with.

I hope this doesn't become a trend with Ozil, disappearing in tough games, I felt he was overrated before talk of him coming. But then I properly watched him play in highlight reels etc and I was a bit stunned. I guess its because I rarely saw him play that way when Madrid played the big boys.

Unfortunately the very top players don't grow on trees. So it takes 2/3 transfer windows to get those players.

I expect us to buy big in Jan. We should be OK till then because some of those injured players are poised to make a come back very soon.

Ozil is anything but overrated. He's still adapting to the league and Arsenal.

Jenius
Who can Arsenal get realistically in January. No top players are usually available then.

Ozil needs runners to be at his best.

I'm not questioning his talent. Everything he does is perfect, its just whether he does enough things.

That interplay towards the end with Giroud was sublime but Olly wasn't on his wavelength. Can't blame him for needing time to settle, must be hard losing ronaldo and co!

Dubbed.. dig up your article on Andros Townsend.. you know the one you were getting mocked for? Majority of the Spurs fans want him out of the team now.

Really? No surprises there. Idiots. I can see unjustified hype from a mile away.
Was he poor today then?

Yeah. Read their match thread. Moaned about him all game long. He just kept running into players and taking wild shots all game long.

Agreed. Completely baffled as to why Wenger persists in binging a player who brings nothing to the table on for any length of time, especially when its at the expense of one of our genuine game breakers. In terms of his place in the squad, sure, Wenger's hands are tied, in terms of using him, not so much in a situation like today.

We were never going to score today, but yeah, that pretty much confirmed that we weren't.

Subbing Cazorla off was one of the best decisions of the game. He was offering us next to nothing. And I'm his biggest fan, but we needed to get at least one extra body in the box to mix it up.

Those who have fallen out of favour are available. You will find its actually harder to get top players in the summer because there is a secondary market for even unpopular players. For example Napoli buying Higuain for ridiculous money.

I would target and get Benzema. He is exactly what we need. A power striker who can stretch defences.
