So would it also be fair to say that buying superstar Ozil was catalyst for Arsenal to start being spanked by these scorelines more consistently? 6-3, 6-1, 5-1, 10-2 on aggregate?
Same as him being the catalyst for why we started dropping out of of the Top 2 for the first time in 20 old years?
Or you just love to cherrypick the good about Arsenal and attribute it to ozil while the bad you blame it on our other players, managers and board?
Isn’t it?
It’s like what religious people do. All the good is because of their god and all the bad is because of the wicked human-race.
Can’t just pick and choose what you want.
Not at all, we were regularly getting whopped by top teams long before Ozil joined us!
The only anomaly i can remember was that 8-2 against United when Cesc / Nasri left that summer and wenger showed his incompetence by waiting till the last days to by players. That is how we ended up with the likes of panic buys like “Andre Santos” etc..
But can you remind me of a time before the Ozil era where being spanked by 6’s and 5’s by the likes of City, Liverpool, chelsea, Bayern on nearly a daily basis was a thing? Lol
