Santi Cazorla Is A Problem

Page 1 of 2

posted on 12/5/15

May I add yesterday he was positionally poor, Ozil had to come into his area to get the ball moving forward it was a joke.

I'd rather Arteta deep than Santi Cazorla despite the latter's superiority. Cazorla just doesn't control games in that position, he should be backup to Ozil at CAM, used deep for emergencies

Have you drunk too much coffee today?

Surprised you only wrote this now. Was always going to happen after Ozil's horror show last night.

Ozil doing Cazorla's job all night last night besides 2 killer passes which the clown Giroud was offside for and Ramsey having an awful 1st touch.

Cazorla besides Giroud was our worst player last night and as I said he doesn't bring a key enough contribution to the team.

Selling him might not be a bad thing this summer but I'd like to keep him as a squad player if he was open to it

GT still sticking up for the casualty Giroud back to his self.

Has proven he was just good because he was fresh, will never be elite or top quality, impact player at best

This is about Cazorla, right?

I dont share your sentiments against OG but that's a different story.

Dont think Ozil had a horror show, he seemed to be coming deep everytime to get the ball as Santi couldnt even pass 5 yards without messing it up. Just a bad day at the office.

i was dissapointed that Ozil didnt chose to shoot on the few occasions he was just outside the box. He seemed more inclide to tee up someone else then take a pop when he was in a good posistion.

How exactly did Ozil have a horror show last night? Last time I checked he had a pretty decent performance for a number ten considering he had literally no wingers to pass to, a static target man up front, and ten players in front of the goal. What was he supposed to do?

Manager has opted for a no width regime again. Alexis on the left give us next to no width because he won't take his man on on the outside. Ramsey simply doesn't play on the right wing, and similarly when he is there doesn't have it in him to beat a man or time a run past him like Walcott. And our manager's answer was to put our only natural winger at centre forward, and put another central player with limited pace and quality delivery from wide into a wide position.

I don't think there was any shocking performances last night, just bad tactics. Wenger has got some stuff right recently tactically but last night he got it wrong. The key thing here now is that he realises the no winger policy is a mistake and change it for the next game before it costs us more points.

Think we have opted for this new team selection for six games:

Liverpool (w)
Burnley (w)
Reading (d)
Chelsea (d)
Hull (w)
Swansea (l)

Three wins, two comfortable, one lucky, a draw against a championship team, a home nil nil and a home loss. Two home games in a row without scoring. The first two of the season. Hardly convincing.

Regarding Cazorla, I too think he is a bit of a problem. Great player but I'd rather see the drive of Wilshere or Ramsey in the middle next to Coquelin.

I was disappointed that Özil lost too many balls in the built up. That he didnt find the right pass at the right time. He was poor yesterday. End of.

I'm sure 95% of clubs in Europe would love to have a "problem" like Santi Cazorla.

Has the OP been drinking Brasso?

The first who is on the team list is Cazorla. No one else.

Cazorla is quality. As stated, lack of wingers and movement up front let us down.

Obviously, the OP's a well known idiot and a childish fanboy. So I doubt people will have a sensible discussion.

posted on 12/5/15

Cazorla is clearly a very polarising player, has been for two seasons now. Very strange I actually think he is probably been our player of the season, yet I don't think he should start. Very strange feelings about the little spaniard. I don't think Cazorla had a bad game last night.

Errrr, no he isn't. Coq, Alexis & Kos are much crucial starters than he is.

Cazorla's quality can't be questioned but he doesn't bring a unique attribute that can contribute to a dominant midfield.

We have technicians just as capable, we have more adept passers in the team Cazorla's pretty overrated in this aspect he's 3rd best passer at the club at best.

He has no engine yet it's intent on sitting so Coq becomes isolated and the likes of Ozil and Rambo have to come deeper to get the ball moving.

Arteta would bring more fluency to our game than Santi does if he sat next to Coq, I'm sure of that

posted on 12/5/15

Ozil has killed Cazorla the same way Alexis killed Theo.

In 2013 our 2 best players but both been upgraded on therefore should no longer be starters when all fit

Welbeck up front

Think you are pushing it if you think United will gift him another goal.

Ozil had a horror show
Nobody was great yesterday, but Ozil was the best of the average performers.
OP, I suggest you think logically before writing articles, but since you lack logic that won't be happening anytime soon. Cazorla is our best CM, and quite comfortably at that. Ramsey is inconsistent, one match he's 9/10 the next he's 4/10.

How anyone sees Cazorla as a problem is beyond me. Just pure stupidity.

posted on 12/5/15

Our only other option plus we need that kind of intensity and speed in our attack at OT for the counter.

Unless we're willing to go with Alexis or Theo up top we have little choice

“Arteta would bring more fluency to our game than Santi does if he sat next to Coq”

An opinion devoid of any comprehension, or rational thought, that it is almost impossible to answer.

Nobody is doubting Santi's quality ffs he just doesn't contribute much towards the balance of the team.

Ozil has had to operate incredibly deep ever since Santi has played in that role which makes you wonder what Cazorla exactly has been doing, bar the Hull game very little is the answer since M'boro at home.

Wwspd
Yes because Arteta is a much more trustworthy deep lying playmaker than Santi is doesn't have to be a better player but he's efficient in his ball recycling whilst sitting deep, he finds Ozil very well too allowing the German to push up in the final 3rd.

Games like yesterday we struggled to get past the half way line the whole first half and this highlights Santi not doing his job well at all. We know Coq's limitations so it's down to Cazorla yet Ozil had to collect the ball from the CB's

Cazorla is a great problem and despite being amongst our finest players he should no longer start like Theo as he's no longer the best in his main role (CAM) at the club

posted on 12/5/15

No surprise that only Supamatheo slightly agrees one of few on here that actually watch the game with an analytical view.

Those that watch properly can see Cazorla overall is not very productive in the deeper role, nowhere near as efficient as an Arteta in the job required and Mikel was also the anchor, people are judging Arteta due to his failures in the latter role.

When in possession Arteta is very important for us and I'm eager to see him besides Coquelin at some point.

People are fooled by Cazorla's wonderful skills into thinking he automatically starts, it should be between him and Ozil and losing that should force him on the bench.

We're not dominating midfields at all since this change

Cazorla is best at no.10 role, When played there he was not top form..the middle position could potentially suit his style in future but he needs to adapt his game into that position.

Oxlade-Chambers (Inventor)

Given Arteta no longer has the physicality to perform the role, nor play regularly (without getting injured) he will be no more than a squad player next season.

To suggest he replaces our most creative player (and statistically the most complete playmaker behind Hazard in the league) is utterly absurd.
