Also didn't we win all our games when we played Santi-Xhaka in midfield?
santi ,xhaka were average forward line was playing well.You cant have 2 people that want to drop deep and need proetction to play. Which is why coquelin seems to be just a battering ram and runner, decoy runner for santi & xhaka to do passes.overall thast not worth it as ozil becomes shit and its not good balanced football. Those were early season games.When its winter time santi fades.Xhaka is looking suspect. We always start decent when it gets to this period all kinds of r***rd mistakes and choices,loses happen.
Coq sures up midfield you lot said. By giving the ball away sure. I rather get attacked then give them the ball.I like coq as a dm. or sub.But this b2b attempt needs to die. Its not good enough its costing us all round.He's shit offensively and not a cm we are not really any defensively better we still conceed goals,we still get attacked. This is no different or even better than an old flamini or old arteta in there. which was a higher risk taking midfield. We still get attacked ,still conceed.The major difference is we are shit offensively.Which is why wenger subs coq off when its time to get goals and apply pressure.He actually notices it but continues. I dont get it you might as well play with high risk attacking midfield.Where has this obession of double holding players and overly defending coming from.Its not for better defending cause we still conceed. no two players will stop conceeding goals defending is a collective team job.
I really dont get why people are saying ozil is playing well or coq and any midfield duo is perfoming well.Their numebrs are shit. Ozil's numbers are drastically low what now 17 games in.He's getting more and more isolated and going M.I.A cause midfield support is poor
Moussa Sissoko has the same amount of PL assists as Mesut Ozil this season. (2)https://twitter.com/Coral/status/810544 ... wsrc%5EtfwAlot of the team is playing average and below par. Just doing the regular stuff they always do performance have not got better than previous seasons but players are demanding silly wage fees. Fees that big trophies winner gets f***ing joke.
