Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Was rested on Tueseday.

Ozil has been disappointing for a while now.

Feels like he is playing within himself.

 

[glenferry23]

Was pretty poor against United, but so were many of our blokes and I think was struck down with the same illness that ruled out Mertesacker and Rosicky that day.

Need him back at his best. If we knock over Marseille this week, which we really should win anyway, we can qualify if Dortmund and Napoli draw.

 

[RickSanchez]

Ah thank god others have not only noticed about Ozil, but mentioned it as well. I was going to mention it but I thought I'd be beaten with a belt.
Still early days for him but wouldn't write him off.
Giroud still sexing it up.

Write him off? He's had a good but inconsistent late start to the season, how many players set the world on fire in their first PL season?

Yeah, just realized how poorly I worded that sentence.
I meant more that his fee justifies more expectation and early on he was doing great, and even though he's dropped off a bit, it's unfair to say he's in a slump.

My bad.

 

[RickSanchez]

Not that anyone on here is suggesting such a thing, just what i've read on various websites.

 

[Hotcox]

It might be a idea to start Ozil as a sub against Marseille and if we need him in the 2nd half then bring him on with 20mins to go.

I would be playing a midfield of Flamini, Ramsey, Rosicky, Wilshere and Carzola against Marseille.

The scoreline isn't great for us really.

Goal difference has almost already become irrelevant for Man City.

Their away form makes up for it.

 

[glenferry23]

Taking some points off city this season will be critical.

City take points off themselves when they leave Manchester.

 

[Benno_900]

I'm not as confident that will last long ...

 

[Hotcox]

We play City at Etihad on December 14th. It is looking like this game will be our biggest test for the season.

 

[Latro]

If Kompany continues to be injured it will. They have no other leaders at the back.

 

[moomba]

It'll be the biggest test of our home form for sure. So far we've had two dominant performances against United and Spurs but I think we might struggle in midfield against Arsenals passing game.

He's no Kompany but I'd put Demichelis down as a proper leader of our defence in VK's absence. Hopefully the two of them will be fit for the game.

 

[glenferry23]

How much longer is Kompany out for?

Don't know. I've given up relying on the clubs predicted return dates when it comes to VK. He was supposed to be back two weeks ago.

I get your frustration. Anytime an Arsenal player is given an expected return date, simply add on three months to get the realistic date.

Podolski is back training with the group

 

[glenferry23]

Still 3-4 weeks away from playing though according to Wenger.

Yep and his return would be very welcome for Giroud. Having Theo back is also very good news, if something happens to Giroud over the coming weeks then at least Theo is on deck to provide cover.

 

[Benno_900]

But we have these two ...
