Another Arsenal away game, another embarrassing display from men who earn more in a week than I probably have in my entire life.
Olivier Giroud saved the Gunners a point with his 88th-minute goal and I don’t begrudge him his celebration, which overlapped into time his side could have spent fighting for a winner. He was brought on as a super-sup and did his job; their abject display during the first 75 minutes had nothing to do with him.
The match was another example of a personal error costing the team and Arsenal being incapable of netting one of their two thousand shots.
We went 1-0 behind in the third minute. That’s plenty of time to fight back and win the match.
The old Arsenal would have but not this Arsenal. Not this team.
Other than the fact we’re really bad at football – apart from Laca, Ozil and Rambo – here’s five other things we learned from the game.
3. Arsenal should give Mesut Ozil whatever he wants
Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette were the only Arsenal players that didn’t stink out the entire stadium at St. Mary’s.
Ozil was constantly trying to drive play forward but there’s only so much one man can do.
With just six months left on his contract, I sincerely hope the reports are true that he’s signing a new deal.
We should give the playmaker whatever he wants.
I couldn’t care less about Alexis Sanchez.
