Any other opinion is asinine. I mean, we have Unai Emery as our manager. What could be more hilarious?

It's not surprising that a club so used to mediocrity fails to recognize one of the finest central attacking midfielders in the history of modern football.

Exactly. These people arguing the toss but don't argue so vehemently and viciously against a manager that has blunted our attack and made us defensively worse after having an almost entirely different back line and midfield. A manager that is performing worse than the shittest version of our last manager.

But here they are criticising Ozil who is the least of the club's worries.

Bunch of jokers the lot of 'em.

I think you place too much importance on raw strength, which gives away your lack of football knowledge.


:rofll: Well sometimes the comedy just writes itself.

Wow, its not just you had no idea why on earth i even mentioned Xhaka being our strongest midfielder in pure strength terms which is vital for the Premier League especially for defensive minded players in midfield. It was to give a reason why playing 3 at the back now is the best way forward until we get another midfielder since Xhaka being a emotional fudge and dosen't want to play and the rest of our midfielders are all weaklings bar the midget Torreria.

Ozil doesn't need strength - he retains possession through skill and technique.


:rofll: I'm sure Ozil's skills which he never uses anymore even on the ball will really help us be more defensively solid without possession :rofll:

Sorry but you do same some really moronic crap at times to defend your beloved Ozil. Try to at least understand the discussion before making a total fool you of yourself.

What a ridiculous comment :rofll:


As i said - if you think that strength is the determining factor in retaining possession, holding the ballor protecting the back four , you just prove you are totally clueless.
Shielding the ball, retaining posession in key areas requires skill and awareness, not strength.
Xhaka might be physically strong, but he's easy to disposses and exposes the back four time and time again.
Ozil retains posession far more effectively yet is physically weaker.

You really do need to try a different sport bud. Weight lifting maybe? Anything but football. I have never seen anyone on any forum who knows less about the game than you do.

Countless small players protect the ball brilliantly well, in fact one of the best players for protecting the ball did it by pure technique and no physical strength. Andrea Pirlo (not small but certainly not strong), you couldn't get the ball off him if you tried, he passed the ball only when he wanted to.

Small players that use technique to protect the ball not strength - David Silva, Luca Modric. Contrast those players with the likes of Mane who is small but has immense physical strength for his size and is able to bully far bigger players.

This is legendary lool. Just shut the hell up and stop digging yourself into an even bigger hole your already in.

This is so funny. If he actually goes back and reads the context of what i said. Oh dear. Oh dear, Wow. So determined to get one on me you make a fool out of yourself in the process.

Wow. Cognitive dissonance at its finest. Jayram. Your not arguing with anyone and you don't even realise.

Learn to read someone's full post before you jump in.

Incredible.

You need to learn to read man. Seriously.


Lots of these ... :rofll:
Clear sign you're a little upset and reaching.

You were talking sh*te again and you've been pulled on it.
Some generous advice - stop pretending you know about football. It's obvious you don't.

He smiling all the way to the bank that's what!

We however wont be smiling in January if he still here, that's for sure. He has nobody to hide behind now.

1 assist and 1 shot in 8 games so far. No excuses for that, Willock has done more and he's a championship level player. He sucks and now at least without a broken man managing us the fans can see just how bad he is.
