Alexis Sanchez: Off to the Old Toilet

[blaze_of_glory]

Thought we could use a new thread now that he's back.

Two games now and both good performances. Looks very sharp and was easily the best player vs Burnley. He's the key to us being able to secure the title I think. Özil is of course incredibly important as well, but Alexis is a game winner and we've been missing that.

 

[Hunta]

He's going to win us games on his own now, he'll take the pressure off Özil and wreak havoc.

His freekick was a beauty, you know Alexis is back when his freekicks are good.

Looked like the rest did him good and he's come back in time for this stretch of games. Wenger now has to manage his fitness well.

I'm especially liking how much more decisive he is in the opponents half and is doing much less faffing about when dropping deep.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

he looks hungry and sharp glad to have him back his dribbling passing and goals gonna be so damn important.

 

[Aevi]

Outstanding performance, was a great drive in our attack.

Pushed forward often, played a lovely assist to Chambers while under pressure by three Burnley players. Great freekick. Took his goal well, simple yet you knew that once he was on the ball it was going in. Happy he was subbed off because it means we'll be seeing more at Southampton!

It is so nice having a reliable attacker in the team, so tired of misfiring Walcott, bad-when-not-feeling-it Giroud, unconfident Chamberlain, and good-but-not-setting-the-world-alight-yet Campbell.

 

[Kroket]

Thread title says it all really, now that Giroud has slowed down again and Theo has seemingly fallen off a cliff we'll need Alexis at his best if we want to stay in the title race. Promising signs so far thankfully.

The most important player in the team. Well, alongside Coquelin. And Özil. And Cech. And Kosicelny... Though don't underestimate the importance of a good DM. It's not only vital for the defenders but also helps the attackers blossom.

 

[Trilly]

Forgot what a world class forward looked like, just a level above. Perfect timing as well, Özil couldn't keep his god mode up for much longer.

 

[Malky]

Oh man, how much we've missed this guy.
As @blaze_of_glory said; Özil is incredibly important but Alexis is a game changer, unstoppable at times and just makes things happen.
His work rate is also such an asset, 110% all game, every game!

Best player in the world after Suarez and Jeff.

Nice thread title

Sorely needed which is unexpected, but it's a little depressing how much less dangerous we look without Alexis, it's not simply about skill, we look less ambitious when he's not playing and that shouldn't be the case imo

 

[Jazz]

Will we finally see on form Özil and Alexis playing together for a prolonged period!? Think it could bring out the best in the team as the opposition won't be able to just focus on one of them which gives them more space to work their magic!

 

[CurryFlavoured]

So far ahead of our other attackers.

Best player in the world after Suarez and Jeff.

Messi and Ronaldo (obviously) disagree. So do Neymar, Aguero, Robben, Muller and that's probably it.

Give me Sanchez over that whinger Muller any day.

 

[Tourbillion]

An elite footballer, he's just so brilliant.

 

[nmn]

Give me Sanchez over that whinger Muller any day.

Sanchez is a winner but very few are winners like Muller. Not the best technically but one of a kind. Plus, he has curly hair, which might not be a plus at all depending on who you ask so it's irrelevant really.

 

[Jury]

We're quite simply not much to write home about without him. We can get by without others, but not without this man.

 

[Jury]

Give me Sanchez over that whinger Muller any day.

Was it ever a contest? Sanchez is a level about Muller.

 

[CurryFlavoured]

Honestly, we have a lot of attacking players that wouldn't look too far out of place at Everton, Liverpool, Southampton etc. That's a nice way of me saying it's all of them bar Alexis.
