Obviously I was very pissed at his lack of effort in games in his first season at Arsenal. He gave the ball away needlessly at times, he was easily bullied off the ball, etc etc just read OP of this thread.

BUT he has massively improved since then. Dude has been working his arse off even if he still isn't the most explosive player. He is so much more controlling, demanding and confident on the ball! Yes, sometimes things don't work out for him and he still has a weak shot on him, but it's way less more frustrating than his performances were back then.

No one can deny that he has improved magnificently in his work effort, and that lack of genuine effort was mainly what bothered me to the end. Always supported the guy, and now I'm growing more fond to him game-by-game. Still can improve his performances in bigger games I think, but the way he is imposing himself more and more in games these days is quite evident and I think he just about now truly growing into his own in life in the PL.

Been the best PL player this year.

"Always supported the guy"

I ain't fallin for that.

If you watch Arsenal games with me, you would've seen. Even in that season I would cheer him on, but I admit most of the time I was smh and tweeting that Wenger should get him the *bleep* off.

I can honestly say I've never had a bad word to say about the guy, and now he's just repaying my faith :bow:

by El Gunner Sat Oct 24, 2015 11:59 pm

I always cheer on the players of my beloved Arsenal doesn't matter who they are, even did so for Silvestre and Squillaci. I deem cheering on as "always supporting" hmm

by Lex Sun Oct 25, 2015 12:03 am

I felt sympathy for Squillaci and Silvestre, does that count as support? hmm

by El Gunner Sun Oct 25, 2015 12:21 am

Remember Silvestre vs Messi rofl

Banter era Arsenal was something else wasn't it

Ozil was missing for the first 2 months of the season, it's only recently that he turned it up. Imo the POTY is Mahrez.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:10 am

That isn't true at all. He's been consistently the top in terms of creating chances and that is his job.

Besides the season is only two months old Laughing

He has been consistently getting assists and creating chances till the start.

And the season is 2 months old Suspect

LOL at the delusion

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:17 am

Feels longer Laughing

Whatever half of the current season so far is.

The numbers back me up on this one. Before the United match 3 weeks ago he had all of 3 assists, and since then that's been doubled and he has scored a few on top.

Also RG you forgot Zarate

by El Gunner Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:19 am

Look at his chances created felllllllla

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:19 am

When you watch him, assists don't define his performances IMO.

His role is more Iniesta like than Fabregas like as it was at Madrid, most of Arsenal's chances are created by him and through him just because he doesn't put the final pass in doesn't mean he hasn't been playing extremely well.

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:21 am

I never said that he wasn't playing extremely well, only that Mahrez has done more to deserve POTY so far

by M99 Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:22 am

Payet>Mahrez IMO

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:24 am

What M99 said, if anything Mahrez has been the one who has dropped off. Still good but not POTY level.

by RealGunner Sun Oct 25, 2015 2:05 am

If Mesut Ozil was called Gonzalo Higuain, BC would be giving him up for Balon d'or imo

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Oct 25, 2015 2:40 am

But he's not hmm

Not to mention Ozil's international record is quite similar to Higgy's as far as showing up

Best German player in 2010 World Cup.

WON the 2014 World Cup.

No missed penalties or sitters in major finals.

Team of the tournament on Euro 12.

Top scorer for Germany in 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

Higuain dreams of an international record like this tbh.

by RealGunner Sun Oct 25, 2015 3:08 am

Was given MOTM in the WC14 final too

by M99 Sun Oct 25, 2015 3:10 am

I was going to say that but official MOTM was given to ~~Messi~~Gotze.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Oct 25, 2015 3:15 am

He was one of Germany's better players in 2014 as well.

by futbol Sun Oct 25, 2015 3:20 am

He sucked donkey balls in 2014, highlighted by that miss against Brazil where he managed to get criticisized in Germany in a 7-1 victory. Don't think I'm going to let this one slide. Laughing

Although not fully his fault because he played out of position most of the time.

by RealGunner Sun Oct 25, 2015 3:21 am

Only haters criticised him.

But he rose above the hate.

No he didn't. Classic case of he didn't get stats so he was bad Sad

by futbol Sun Oct 25, 2015 3:28 am

He was bad with or without stats.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Oct 25, 2015 3:29 am

So bad that only Schweignsteiger was better on your entire midfield lol.
