how far Spy360 and sod09, tomorrow is a must win for us o, we need those 3 points badly.

I'm thinking we should just bench Ozil and Auba, let's start Bergkamp, Carzola, Van Persie, Vierra and Henry altogether. What do you think?

Tell me you didn't check his stat? I never did but I knew he recorded upto the no and was both the highest scorer and top 'assister'.

diadem10:
Others were considered, for example both Laca and Auba gets to operate as forwards as well as Iwobi who gets to play in the centre.

Better still, a 3412 would look good if you love the wingplay so much. Bellerin would benefit alot in the setup also. Besides, Wenger used this setup last season and I think the team had great time with the setup and amassed lot of points. Both Ozil and Sanchez looked good, even Xhaka. Now, you've got a better player than Xhaka in Guendouzi.

Anyway na you sabi.

I had a bit of a trouble digging up the stats for that particular world cup qualifying stage. But Transfermarkt has Ozil's stats history in 3 World cup qualifying competitions at 20 matches, 9 goals, 10 assists. Now tell me where you got your own 10 goals and 14 assists in 2014 alone!!

diadem10:
Lol. I already stated I didn't check his stat before coming up with the no but I knew he had close to that no and that was why I didn't check to ascertain the fact.

Anyway, Ozil actually had 8 goals and 11 assists in 12 starts while playing as a false 10 in 2014 Germany's worldcup qualifiers.

Source, please??

Your senselessness is worse than I thought. As in your senselessness is subzero.

As in any future sense you get would be used to offset the senselessness you possess now.

ESPN is a credible source enough. But I have doubts regarding the integrity of the data. Some of the numbers just don't add up. Did you check the assists total of all his seasons. Numbers like 143, 160, 189, 199. That's just Crazy. I don't need to be a genius to know that's a lie. Ozil is yet to make a single assist this season but somehow they have him at 21. Only God knows what else they could have gotten wrong. 10 assists in the first 8 games, and then just 1 in the remaining 4 games. And you don't find that suspicious.

You need to discard those metrics below it however the main stat is quite correct.

I don't find it suspicious because Ozil played just behind the striker. He was almost like a false 9 and he didn't disappoint with the goals. Sometime, it had to do with Gotze playing as the no 9 and while Gotze was dropping deep, Ozil would interchange and operate as the 9.

Personally, I think Ozil's best position is as a false 9. His movement and linkup play are one of the best you can have in a team and he would be more at home operating in the final third and only have to drop deep when needed. He can also chip in the goals like he did for Germany. I think the closest he ever had for Arsenal in that role was when Wenger employed 3421 tactic in the second half of 2 seasons ago and the first half of last season and it wasn't surprising when his form improved. I think he scored alot too although Wenger changed the setup after swapping Sanchez for Mkhi in January.

why Emery? why? why did you inflict the gooners with so much pain
