i think he will gel more with Theo

why always me
im late again in checking stats
but just realised his 8 goals from outside the box was the most in Europe

Sweet. I already mentioned it somewhere, but with the additions of Cazorla, Podolski and Giroud I think we'll see (hopefully) less boring passing around the box and more long ranged screamers. (i.e. Arteta against Man City).

Only Arteta,Verminator and RvP went for these long range screamers last season,out of which only RvP and Arteta scored.Thus,our only way of scoring last season was to passing around the box and/or frantically searching for RvP.

All that is set to change this season.Expecting to see some DYNAMITE...ABSOLUTE DYNAMITE goals from Cazorla.

Spoiler:

Speak of the devil Ernie

Santi Cazorla scores Spain's first goal at 42 minutes. A RIFLE from 25 yards out. Very good signs

Cazorla completed the most passes in the final third for Spain tonight; he also had the most shots on target (4, including 1 goal). Sharp.

dissapointed with him this season, his form has been up and down the entire season. Good game followed by poor one then an average one. This season where almost everyone in the team has raised their game, his form has been meeeh

Not meaning to scapegoat but Cazorla should step up his game but so do most of our players.

u wot mate  

never been a fan of him...
small team killer and rapes Wigan, Reading, etc..
anonymous and flops big time against any teams with a good defense..
nothing to deserve the hype of Spanish magician or something..   

draxler will come next season, will replace him in the starting line up.

Anti-Cazorla sentiment in this thread today makes my heart hurt.

He's a terrific player.

He is world class, he had very good season for us last year. Had a little dip in form but finished the season strongly. This year I thought with him getting used to the league and his team mate he would have a great season but his form has been far too inconsistent for a player of his ability and experience.

Same faces I see scapegoating different players every disappointing match. Does it not make your knees buckle, kneejerking this much?

Was the only one of our players to register a shot on target today if I remember right?

Lay off the hatorade, fellas

Yes he was but he could've picked Podolski who was completely free but he choose to shoot himself. He is not a wide player. He is great when he is playing in the middle but it isnt his fault.

Podolski could have made more incisive runs for Jack to pick out who could have been less reckless in the final third to give Giroud some service who could have been more active with movement to create space for Rosicky who could have.....

I am not, just pointed out that he had chance to pass instead shooting. But he doesnt play well out wide. I am not only talking about this game, he hasnt regained his last seasons form.

The entire attack is embarrassing. But think about it. So many top level players suddenly can’t play anymore. Its up to wenger to get his tactics right.

Wenger is too easy to read, he is demanding all attack to go through the middle, its so easy to stop us. The day Wenger changes and puts his ego aside we can see the best of our players.

Think some people have misunderstood everything and are getting their knickers in a twist. Santi is not being used as a scapegoat here. You lot want to see the definition of scapegoating, see Giroud.

no one has said we lost the game yesterday because of Santi, the issue here is his form has been too incosistent. He is one of our world class players in the team, so he should been producing the good in a regular basis.
Also lets not start this nonsense about him not being able to play well on the wing when thats his best position. The guy has played there during his entire career, He even admitted it

“On the other hand you have Mesut and I, and we are quite similar in certain areas of our games but he has a different philosophy to me. He enjoys the freedom of being the main, central attacking midfielder that sits behind the forwards, whereas I enjoy the freedom that playing wider gives me to cut inside."

So start producing the good then ffs

Santi Cazorla has been named PFA Fans' Player of the Month for the second month in a row

Some of the posts in this thread have so much humble-pie-eating potential

inb4 we remember sportzcy saying sell Santi to bring back Fabregas.

Fabregas does have 15 assists playing centrally though.
