But then came Ozil, who I watched in the flesh for the first time on Sunday and the guy oozes class, whether psychologically you think someone is better because they’re more expensive but I found Tomas Rosicky trying to do similar things as Ozil but not pulling them off. There were audible gasps in the home end whenever he broke or pinged one of his inch perfect passes around the pitch. He still doesn’t look completely up to speed but that kinda worries me what he’ll be capable of.
Seems to be a new vibe around the ground as well, if you eliminate the Villa game. Players look a lot more relaxed and atmosphere has improved, it really is amazing how may areas a big name signing can affect. Very weird vibe of expecting Arsenal to defend properly as well, there was a calmness even at 1-0 down on Sunday where you were never quite worried that they wouldn’t equalise, there was a adult nature in how the Napoli game was shut down, Flamini has been inspired.
It all leads to an difficult Novemeber and December but also an exciting one. Thread the eye of the injury needle and if we’re still in with a shout, January becomes very interesting and from then on…who knows.
Exciting Times, I don’t think this is the end of them, just the start of the next exciting chapter….
