Sanchez "carried" Arsenal to outside the Top 4 until Ozil's return. They were sixth while Ozil was out injured and ended up finishing 3rd with him back. This year they're first in the League with Ozil fit and Sanchez out. Ozil's impact on games transcends numbers. He's their best player. By the way Ozil has assisted twice against City, scored against Bayern, assisted the equaliser against Tottenham & scored/assisted against United. The idea he's a flat-track bully is absurd. He's played far better in big games this season than Sanchez did last year who regularly went missing in all but 1.

LOL. Ozil is far and away Arsenal's best player.

Wouldn't be surprised if he did well here at all. Premier League defences are at an all time worst.

We'll win. Costa is the hottest striker in the League on current form, Cesc is playing very well and most importantly our best player, Hazard returns.

No system

Wonderful job by Guus. Really turned it around and he did it without Hazard.

Excuses. We improved with him on the pitch while Matic the fraud who's this forums darling got exposed once again. Oscar has his flaws but you can't say he's a liability on the pitch unlike a certain Serbian donkey. Once again, brilliant sub by Guus.

Either bring in genuine World Class players or potential World Class prospects. We need to stop settling for 2nd best. Arsenal have signed more WC players in the last 3 years than we have. Unforgivable.

Didierforever is clueless. Terry had a solid game. Made some outstanding tackles and saved us at the end. He's miles better than Cahill and it isn't close. We already tried that Cahill/Zouma pairing earlier in the season and it wasn't pretty.

Nope. He had a solid game. Kept things ticking while Cesc brought us back from the dead.

This lad literally brings up Oscar whenever he loses an argument. Yeah, he had a good impact today. Class substitution from Guus.

Hiddink > Mourinho. Deal with it. We'd be Top 4 now if he was binned after Southampton.

We're scoring goals for fun again after struggling for months under Jose. If Hiddink had luck then Mati would've put away that 1 on 1 and Oscar would've scored his penalty. Cesc, Costa have regained form under him. Mikel has been a nice addition into the team and Azpi has turned into an attacking threat. We're doing all this without our best player too. We concede goals at the worst times but that's mostly due to individual mistakes & our two lovely Serbs.

Unbeaten streak continues. Hazard returns next week. New players arrive soon hopefully. He's done a fine job steadying the ship so far and we're scoring goals again. Just needs to stop playing Matic and hopefully the moment of lapses at the back lessen.

That's the end of his chapter. Hopefully RLC takes his minutes.

His defending there was dreadful but Lukaku was also free. Zouma was terrible there as well

Matic is the cancer. Debate has been settled now.

Blame Jose. Overeliance on Eden led to his burnout this season. The club needs a big name signing to lift the spirits of everyone. Remember the incredible mood surrounding the club after the Torres/Luiz signings?

No, he's faking it. Mourinho fanboys told me so.

Not Hiddink's fault Willian and Pedro can't pass and Cesc at #10 is a disaster as most of us have figured out by now. Options are limited with Hazard out.

You have a scapegoat every week. Stay consistent like me.

Chelsea have won only 3/21 games with Nemanja Matic in the starting 11 and have lost 8 points from winning positions AFTER he has come on.

Replace him with Oscar/Pedro & we're flying. Costa looks good again. Fullbacks are playing well. Cesc/Mikel have formed a decent partnership. Just missing our best player. Injury came at the worst possible time. There was still a semblance of hope for Top 4 but that's all but over after Oscar's penalty miss & Matic single-handedly costing us 4 points.

Some of our deluded fans think he's as good as Busquets. The worst DM at the club since Geremi. I cannot believe Hiddink took Cesc off instead of Oscar for RLC/Ramires.

Oscar wasn't the reason we dropped points today. Only one man was and you know it. You can't scapegoat Mikel or Cesc for his performances anymore so of course you try to deflect. Don't bring Oscar into this, Matic can't keep getting away without criticism. Keep the Oscar bashing in his own thread.
