Santi Cazorla: My Friend, Is Adios, No?

[say yes]

Sabti is a top footballer, but Wenger just has to do something silly.

Santi is not up to the requirements in his current position.

I don't think he's a natural fit in the position - his quality is making it work however.

Ramsey/Wilshere's role in the long-run.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Cazorla been our most consistent performer for 12 months, insane the amount of hate he still gets. Everything that we've done well has seen Cazorla at the centre of it. City away, United at home, FA Cup final, Bayern at home, he's been sensational in all the top games..... you know the games were he's meant to be "found out" in that role.

The partnership between he and Coquelin has been a stroke of genius. I also feel any weakness he possibly has is negated when Ramsey plays as well, because as we saw vs United we can easily turn into a midfield three anyways.

People hate him not because of his ability.

People hate him because he smiles like a cuddly guinea pig.

Without Francis, there is a chance we might see more from Santi. How?

I think its crucial to tighten our midfield now. Put an extra body in the centrr of the park, since we dont have anyone close to Francis level at what he does the best. Lets not try to expect miracles from Flamini, Arteta or Chambers to give us what Francis did

Instead, move Özil wide, And partner Ramsey Santi and Flamini/Chambers in the middle.
That formation is best suited for counter attacking football, something we are doing a lot these days.
Santi would have more freedom and more forward runs where he is magical in terms of passing and vision. He can also rotate with Özil a lot.

Think thats the beat we can do right now, as pong as there is no Arteta/Flamini - Cazorla partnership.

There was a lot of penalty taker talk, so I'll just give you my pick; Theo.

Yet another person who thinks moving Özil is the way to go. /facepalm

 

[Tourbillion]

Santi is class but we must find a more physical and athletic yet equally technical replacement soon.

 

[Hunta]

Dominated by Gary O'Neil, hope the little fat **** moves to Spain in the summer.

Can't stand him.

 

[say yes]

Had a shocker.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Had a shocker.

Subbed off against Tottenham.
Terrible against WBA and Norwich.

Were do we go from here? We don't even have midfielder to replace him. Him and Giroud are free passengers at top club in Europe. Joke on us?

 

[DanishDoc]

reborn? b*tch please

 

[Hunta]

He's appalling, living off his 10 penalties last season and that game against City.

 

[GOONER1991]

This sickness has lasted a while now.

 

[Vinci]

His shooting has been disastrous, especially for a guy with his technical ability and being ambidextrous on top of that.

Not scored from open play in ****ing ages.

 

[Penn_]

Decent first half, think he might of been carrying on with that knock. We had no one else.

Needs a rest played similar minutes to Alexis ffs.

 

[Santi's Left Foot]

People insulting Santi, disgraceful. How short are peoples memories.

 

[say yes]

Tbf, he's still got more quality in his little finger than almost every other joker on that pitch today.

 

[DanishDoc]

People insulting Santi, disgraceful. How short are peoples memories.

People knows what he's capable of, but he isn't peforming atm..

 

[GOONER1991]

People insulting Santi, disgraceful. How short are peoples memories.

Wenger said "Santi played on one leg in the final parts of the second half". He has a knee problem, I assume from that clash at the beginning of the first half.

 

[Penn_]

Seriously why does the amount of football Cazorla has played never get mentioned. But with Alexis is always 'tired'.

 

[Santi's Left Foot]

People knows what he's capable of, but he isn't peforming atm..

I don't know what the beef is. There were about 6/7 players worse than him today.

 

[SA Gunner]

He's died again.

Hopefully goes where no one has gone before, and surpasses the record held by Jesus and Lazarus.
