Good side will give Poldi, Ozil, Ox & Santi even more space. I think we'd do better

Pffft!

Ha!

I was pleasantly surprised, although I wasn't too upset when it he was announced.


I remembered someone had said it and looked back to try and find it. You can imagine my delight when I saw it was you :grin:

Poldi and Ozil need to learn to stop dropping back. It hurts their play.

Top stuff. Hope Chamberlain isn't injured. Starts out wide against Liverpool for me.

Ox has to start in the absence of theo, Jack and Rambo.

Agreed but I think it might have been under Wengers instructions to try pull their defenders out of position because they were sitting so deep.

Not quite sure this proved Ox as a CM so much as it showed his attacking prowess and that he's better off in the CAM front line as opposed to playing deep.

His long balls forward were not that great and he doesn't tackle the way Ramsey does and harasses players.

Not saying he can't play there alongside a dedicated CDM but I think he's better just attacking.
