If ever anyone thought Wenger was not a busted flush then surely last night must convince even them?
He set us up wrong from the beginning (if the reported "plan" actually was to play a staggered 2 up front and hit Bayern on the break). If you are gonna play on the break with Sanchez as the further forward of the 2 strikjers then you need your 2 holding midfielders to quickly gain possession and rotate the ball to the feet of the second striker/Number10/false9/whatever the fuck Ozil was supposed to be last night, so that he can pick out the pass to the runner. Fucking basic football 101 that Coq and Xhaka apparently do not understand.
Ozil is a luxury player. For him to be effective he needs the ball to feet and the players around him to look for his through balls. Not making excuses for Ozil here because he was absolutely useless last night, even though bizarrely he actually made 3 or 4 defensive tackles that won possession - which was 3 or 4 more than Xhaka or Coq!!
But this comes down to the manager. If Ozil (or any player) is not doing the specific job that they are sent out to do, then fucking substitute them!!
Ozil is in a very poor run of form, whether through frustration or whatever, and he needs to be dropped. He needs to be made aware he must earn his place in the team. But Wenger doesn't do that.
Iwobi was our worst player, despite stiff competition from Gibbs, Ozil, Coq, Xhaka and the Ox. Iwobi is fast developing into an Alex Mong type "passer" of the ball - just fire it in the general direction of your team mate and hope for the best.
How long we can use the "he's still young" excuse remains to be seen.
Special mention here for Coquelin. Absofuckinguseless footballer, Cannot tackle cleanly, cannot pass, no positional sense, no intelligence, no discipline. What player in world football invites Robben to come inside on his left foot? My fucking wife even knows that! I lost count of how many times he just pissed the ball away to Bayern. He is stealing a fucking living.
Ospina (as detailed in the Cech v Ospina thread is not the answer to our GK problem, despite a couple of good saves.
The Ox is a disgrace. Pissed away possession all night, then has a hissy fit near the end at his team mates (looked like it was mostly aimed at Ozil tbh) and then 3 minutes later gifts Bayern their 5th goal through rank fucking stupidity. I have hoped beyond hope the Ox would come good for us for years now but, fuck it, I give up. He has 2 or 3 good games and then is shit for the rest of the season. He does not have the intelligence, the guts or the confidence for the top flight. If his footballing career even half matched his burgeoning social media "presence" then he might be some use. File under "Dench Frimpong".
Wenger Out. Please God and Baby Jeebus. PLEASE.
