Undecided on him. Another who is alarmingly anonymous in more than a game or two
Ironically Giroud is looking the most likely to succeed at the moment, after his slow start.
How long have you been supporting Arsenal?
The reason I am asking this is because you may remember players such as Pires who in their first season were hot and cold and didn't really shine until their 2nd season.
European players find it difficult when they first join the intensity of the premiership but great players will eventually come through.
Trust me, he is a special player. He isn't so highly rated in Spain for no reason.
Perhaps you can learn from that, give time before you can make a judgement
Yeah but players like Pires started slowly. The problem with Cazorla is he had an impressive start
and has now faded. Surely if he was having problems adapting he wouldn't have had this impressive start in the first place? And so many games where he's been quiet in the last few weeks, doesn't make much sense.
For example Giroud's progress is much more logical, struggle at first, now signs of him coming good (having adapted), that makes a lot more sense for things to have happened in that order.
I said I'm undecided though, which means I haven't passed a judgment
Different players react differently, Cazorla isn't used to playing so many intensive games, how many
games has Giroud started? Perhaps your answer lies there
Give the guy a chance, why do you think he is so highly rated in Spain?
That's right, I think. People forget that this is basically a whole new side.
Going back a season or two, almost the entire first team has changed.
Yes but the problem here is Cazorla really shone early on
Pires, Bergkamp, Henry, Anelka, Petit all started slowly, then came good. As I said,that's logical.
Cazorla almost started too well, and the fact he's a shadow of that player now (for a number of games too), it's concerning.
Hopefully he does come back to form.
Jesus wept, he started well but not used to playing so many intensive matches :baghead:
