It still remains to be seen how he will adapt to the league. Playing for Real and Barca in La Liga tends to make some attacking players look better than they actually are. Case in point, Ozil.

Actually, no. It's Bonetti's source.

Matteo Bonetti ‏@TheCalcioGuy 26m More Chelsea have eclipsed Milan's offer for Mattia Destro, with a €25m bid coming in for the Roma striker

Holy shit, Zolayes! Just how old are you?

central midfield

Unfortunately, he'll spend all game chasing shadows but fantastic experience.

They might, who knows. Maybe if RvP stays fit and can replicate his form of two seasons ago. That's a big if. They don't have Europe to worry about, so a bonus. But with an ageing Carrick and an out of sorts Fletcher in midfield, it's not just their defense that's weak. They have many weak points. It's interesting now that Balotelli has signed for Liverpool, Arsenal look the ones most vulnerable to fall out of the top 4.

Di Maria is an absolutely amazing player though. World class. Has his faults but Madrid's 2nd best player IMO.

Way too premature, bro. Their defense is weak and aside from Herrera, so is their central midfield.

Distin showed his age on that Giroud goal. He's 36/37, ffs.

Alexis off, he's been shocking. This is the guy Arsenal fans claim to be on the same level as Eden? :confused: Fuck outta here

Definitely an incredibly delusional set of fans with stiff competition from Liverpool.

Arsenal look a complete shambles. Their players are all frail and lightweight as usual. You can't win the league with that. They made our 1st half performance look half decent, though admittedly they're playing a better team. Looks like another 4th place trophy beckons.

Offside though, but who cares. It's Arsenal.

Oh, Lukaku you monster! ARSEnal falling apart!

Ha, Ozil is so useless!

Miralles, so close! He should have scored!! Arsenal look pathetic in defense.

1-0 Everton. Seamus Coleman. What was Ozil doing ball-watching? With those eyes of his you would think he'll be more aware of his surroundings.

Is it just me or does he look like he's lost some mass?

We probably wouldn't have won the game if he didn't play. Shades of last season only this time plus Costa. That might just be enough but who knows.

Some top European sides don't even play with holding midfielders. The point is that we should be dominating matches in terms of quality of possession far more than we did today. When you have so many flair players on the pitch and you play like Tony Pulis' Stoke City or Wimbeldon in the 1990's then you're asking to be scored on.

Everton vs Arsenal should be a good one.

Aside from Brana, the only player that at least showed up despite Azpilicueta never helping him offensively. But I guess he's too good to look utter shite when the team is playing so poorly.

I thought he was very underwhelming in the 1st half and slightly above average in the 2nd. But I guess his performance was good because of lowered standards or what?
