" what we learned this week "

" Isco shows why he's better for Madrid than Ozil "

"It was a good matchday for Arsenal as they put themselves three points clear in Group F thanks to a pair of goals from Jack Wilshere. On the night, however, one man in red again flattered to deceive. Mesut Ozil was beneath the standard expected of him as a player with a valuation of some €50 million despite one tidy assist.

He took a tame penalty, easily saved by Steve Mandanda, and missed another great opportunity to add to his modest Gunners goal tally.

The early-season excitement over the German has worn off and Arsenal fans are left with the reality of the player Real Madrid discarded. Tentative, occasionally indecisive, peripheral.

Meanwhile, at the Bernabeu, the man charged with replacing Ozil had a stormer. Isco was immense as los Blancos eased past Galatasaray. He was on hand to provide chances for his team-mates at will and scored a clever clinching goal for his side late on.

The Spain international has had his difficulties since his move from Malaga but Madrid were right to jettison Ozil to make way for him. Time will tell on Isco. He is a player of genuine quality and remains superior to the man who joined Arsenal - a club beneath Madrid's standing and ambition. "

i don't even.. :facepalm:

I guess these idiots forgot to watch the rest of the match, where Ozil was our best player.

How these failed fortune cookie writers get jobs writing articles on websites, even ones as shit as goal.com, is beyond me. Might as well let the cat walk over the keyboard and hit the "submit" button
