I hope when Terry eventually retires that Chelsea make Diego Costa captain.

Arsenal always find a way to gimp themselves and then finish strong but not strong enough. They'll probably get beat by Barca 5-0 and then win the second leg 3-2 or something.

Playing a high line against Chelsea was stupid when we have Mertesacker in defense. I thought we stopped doing that in 2012.

Also Flamini offers more in attack than defense which is saying something. Could have done with Coquelin the last few games but surely Elneny is at least better than Flamini?

Got a chip on your shoulder or something? Christ.
No, not at all, but according to Whitechapel Ozil is the greatest player the premier league has ever seen because he's actually bothered to show up in the smaller games this year. ;)

Not sure what you want a no.10 to do when he doesn't have a striker to pass to all game.

Arsenal did not that bad considering they had one less man for the most time but not very prudent of Mertesacker and less of Wenger to get Giroud out for Gabriel Paulista.

That's what he's payed the big bucks and has such a supposedly great reputation for though to unlock defenses and be the difference yet he went awol again.

Don't see an issue with taking out Giroud. With 10 men he probably felt that they needed pace on the break to score goals and couldn't afford to leave a man upfield. Fair call.

Er... no. He is a c*** of the highest order. Simple.
Sometimes he is and sometimes he us exactly the player you want in your team. On his day he is quality and he was the difference today.

Like the other times in big games this season he's gone missing? Would that include the goal and assist vs United, the assist vs Spurs, the two assists vs City or the goal vs Bayern? And this is just half way through the season. The bloke has literally got 16, sixteen, SECHZEHN, assists this season, 4 from the most EVER in a premier league season with almost half the season still to go, and yet you're questioning his ability to unlock defenses.

Didn't do it today though, these are the games that titles are made of, and if he can't do it then, will he do it when it comes to the crunch later in the season?

Are you suggesting a game against City, a title rival, isn't just as, if not much more important? Because that is literally what the crunch is, doing it against your title rivals.

I get you're not a fan of Özil, but if you're going to have a go at him, maybe don't do it in a game where we were down to ten men in a season where he's been one of if not the best player in the league so far.
