"Ozil was as much an asset as he was liability in big games vs good players he simply wasn't good enough.He couldn't be bothered to do any defensive work or tackle."

Lol, who cares what Walcott says !

If he has confirmed anything to you it just means you are a bit thick.

If Walcott was any good he would benefit so much from Ozil , but he didn't did he.

He’s not wrong but it’s not really relevant because Wenger’s system didn’t ask that of the attacking mids.

It’s true though we could all see it, it’s why Arteta didn’t hesitate to get rid of him straight away, Odegaard is less talented creatively but everything else he has over Ozil.

When Carlo Ancelotti went to Madrid in 2013 and sold Ozil to us replacing him with Isco everyone thought he was stupid, he proved everyone wrong by winning Madrids first CL in 12 years.

Fan channels are ruining football.
It's allowing literal kids and teenagers with little life experience and dead football knowledge to air the most cringely limited takes out there.

Like DG Sports said earlier this week "Who is better - Emery or Arteta?" Dead debate since Emery has achieved more and is older. It's about clicks and hype for more adsense revenues. AFTV used to be good several years ago, but Wenger left and some of the good regulars (including DT who went to jail briefly) it's declined.

AFTV has always been full of parasites

Positivity doesn't get clicks

Sensationalised titles and voices do

Never liked that channel tbh

Fan channels are just part of the psychosis that social media and in particular TikTok / YouTube have caused.

The internet was fine until about 2010 when the amplification of any old idiot’s opinion became possible and it’s got worse and worse. It is a sickness because many people can no longer self filter, or tell the difference between a reliable source of information and some random fool.

Just don’t watch them. And while you’re at it watch less YouTube in general. It’s fkin rubbish nowadays

And what is better mainstream take on the media?
I find AFTV rubbish as well its made only for money and you can see any controversial opinions are being blocked.Also during the Wenger days it was more fun to watch different people criticize the club , but nowadays when we're in the top2 its just plain boring.

Lots of good Youtube channels out there outside football obviously.

There is some quality, mainly travel channels, but it’s mostly just trash.

Nothing wrong with having a controversial opinion. Many on here do. But AFTV always highlighted those with the most extreme opinions and the loudest.

It became who could shout the loudest and give the most dramatic take.
