Thread: So the initial signs are very, very, very good

    So the initial signs are very, very, very good

    he wants to focus on keeping possession and pressing when we lose it to get it back.

    So any midfielders who give it away cheaply, aren't in position to press and/or are too lazy to press, are going to be sold.

    The writing is on the wall

    Of course, when you look at the stats after our games, Ozil runs as far as anyone else

    I've never worked that one out... wonder if he just runs in circles when we aren't watching... or sticks the GPS on the ref

    Or gets himself in positions in which his passing can best hurt the opposition which is pretty much his job and why he has created more chances than any player in Europe other than Lionel Messi in the last 6 or 7 years. Of course running doesn't count if it's not tracking back. That's why England have been world champions for the past eleventy hundred years

    Oh I know that, it's the Ozil doesn't work crap that is trotted out every game while all the journo's ignore how much distance he covers.

    I had a supervisor like that, back in the day at Whitehall. Always toted a folder under his arm, overflowing with papers, even when going to the pub for lunch. He was the idlest bastárd in England but he explained that everyone always thought he must be extremely busy and important. Look at old Jonesy, they'd say; he's always on the go, never takes a break!

    It is possible to merely look busy. As LA rightly points out, for some of us, if it's not tracking back, it really doesn't count. It's not our fault; it's the way we were raised, the way we learned the game: Ability without conspicuous effort equals laziness. Germans are very different though; they do not care for honest triers. At school there, they don't give you marks for effort.
