Yes, absolutely, GG. That is possible, and people that felt that way would still be on here celebrating the victories, and not completely misrepresenting the style of play.

Those that disappear during our victories are, sadly, not capable of that level of maturity.
You have got a point, I suppose.

But the way, we've had quite a few sexy, one touch flicks this season - even more if you consider the league cup with Odey. But have we had any eye of the needle passes so far this year? When MO plays at 10, he's more of a pre-assist playmaker, while Laca is a withdrawn 2nd striker. Are there any I've forgotten? Some lovely flicks, some lovely one touch team goals, but none of those.

I guess that was the thing about Mesut. For all his myriad weaknesses, he really could spot and pull off those passes.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not moaning. It's just I rather fancy a perfectly weighted eye of the needle through ball that gets finished first time. Oh, and a distinctly un-Wenger 25 yard top corner rocket. From open play, not a FK. Haven't had one of those in a while, have we?
