Everyone knows my thoughts but Arteta hasn’t been here a year and most of the players weren’t his signings .
He has to bring back Ozil without a doubt.
06 Dec 2020 19:47:04
How can he mate, he's publicly tried to humiliate Ozil by freezing him out of premier and Europa league squads. He'd look totally ridiculous if he had to go back on such an extreme decision.
{Ed047's Note - was it his decision or was it Edu’s after he and Ozil fell out.
06 Dec 2020 19:54:30
He went along with it and publicly claimed it was his decision for footballing reasons Ed047 mate, if he was covering up the Edu interference by claiming it was his oen decision then more fool him for getting himself in that position in the first place.
{Ed047's Note - it certainly hasn’t helped his cause but it wasn’t his decision.
06 Dec 2020 20:09:36
I agree Ed047 mate, I never for one moment believed it was Mikels decision, which makes it all the worse that he claimed publicly it was. He's made himself the clubs puppet and everyone including the players know it, that can't be a good thing.
{Ed047's Note - not at all mate
06 Dec 2020 20:13:52
Because if he doesn’t try it he will fail without ever knowing, get the sack and then everyone will say “ he shouldn’t have been so stubborn “
He will have that forever hanging round his neck.
{Ed047's Note - if he had to drop him why would you think he’d be allowed to bring him back mate, unless others change their minds.
06 Dec 2020 20:15:39
62 as you rightly say MA claimed Ozil was out for footballing reasons, now bring him back for footballing reasons, worst start for 45 years, no one would blame him for giving Ozil another chance.
06 Dec 2020 20:53:41
ED who can argue against it, we are in such a desperate position one that NO ONE ever imagined we’d be in . If the answer is no then no one has the interest of the club, desperate times desperate measures, cutting ones nose off doesn’t help anyone.
{Ed047's Note - totally agree mate, it’s a ridiculous situation to have put ourselves in and the excuse for “footballing reasons†is utterly pathetic.
Sadly though Edu hasn’t been showering himself in glory on a lot of levels so it’s anyone’s guess as to whether he’ll happily cut his nose off.
06 Dec 2020 20:59:22
If MA is going to be our future then he needs to grow some 🥜 🥜 and tell Edu that Ozil must return. We need a strong manager and a strong board. It’s criminal having Ozil on his X Box while Spurs make us look like we are relegation fodder.
The difference of how Spurs attack Vs us is embarrassing.
Even a Jose side attacks better than us. how bad is that. Just say it to yourself. The manager we didn’t want because of his style of football just gave us a football lesson. Let that sink in.
How does Elneny not keep his place - I thought if you earned your spot and played well then it’s yours. How the F did Granit take his spot. I clearly remember what the boss said. Sounds bollox to me. No different to dropping Ozil for footballing reasons.
We are a joke.
06 Dec 2020 21:03:16
Come on Ozil isn’t good enough hasn’t been for a few years.
{Ed047's Note - Welsh I know you think that and I’ve not been impressed with him but he’s better than our other option, which is absolutely no one 🤷â€â™‚ï¸

I think the problem has moved on from Ozil I suspect he now has a big problem with Auba. The he repeatedly game after game talking saying we’re not taking our chances especially today when he said they had two and scored them both. But what puzzle me is MA talked openly about wanting Auba to renew his contract so what has happened or changed since then. I believe we can honestly say Lacazette has been working hard in his new role.
Auba signed a hefty new contract and then look disinterested and he’s not running like he’s crazy to even get a lucky goal to shake the barrenness.
Can they afford to freeze out another player on a big wage? Just imagine the repercussions.
I wonder if Auba is unhappy with the Ozil situation.
06 Dec 2020 21:13:11
You know it’s bad when Jose says ;
I want to give a good word, congratulations to Mikel. Because he gave us a very difficult game. Tactically they are very good. They are very well organised. They were trying to find the triangles on the side. They gave us problems.
Ozil > Zero
Our creativity.
06 Dec 2020 21:15:10
If I was any Arsenal player I'd be thinking what if Edu gets it in for me for some reason, has Mikel got my back? Everyone knows the answer to that.
If you can't trust your manager to be there for you is it really possible to be there for him 100%?
It's an untenable position Mikel has got himself into on abd off the pitch in my opinion.
06 Dec 2020 21:15:55
Welsh that’s rollox mate, he’s head and shoulders above what’s currently on show.
06 Dec 2020 21:48:29
The problem is we are crying out for a number 10. It's not going to happen with Ozil, and trying to force Laca into that position is poor management. ESR should be given a chance to prove himself there until.
Also a Plan B is needed for when we are forced into wide positions to cross the ball into the box. I find it amazing that the club doesn't have a big target man in the first or youth teams.
06 Dec 2020 22:15:56
I think MA lost the dressing room after freezing ozil out. I mean how Azeez gets in the squad No disrespect to the kid and Ozil no. how the heck xhaka keep getting picked. Last week wolves tiktok page were the take the piss out of him.
How he won't drop willian as he's been piss poor so far.
I said it before as the season is pretty much over for us, play the kids they have more fight in them and at least they will learn to suffer. BUt it seems MA is either stubborn or have no say what so ever.
