Imo Santi has made a bigger impact (in terms of on pitch performances ) on this club than Ozil. If you take away all the semtiment and wider impact about Ozil’s signing and measure output and quality performances alone Santi is a more important player and harder to replace.
Santi in 12/13 was an absolutely phenomenal, I think we would have been perfectly fine if we didn’t sign Ozil and kept Santi as main AM. The real shame is that if was handled a bit better by Wenger we would have gotten alot more out of him over the last two seasons
Nothing wrong with the tactics, pep is showing arrogance though as he does not have the defence capable of playing the way he wants so he’s stupid for doing it ATM. Im sure he will fix that up in the next 2 transfer windows.
I would not change Klopp with Arsène in any case, but sincerely I’m too curious to see our life after AW. I want to see new faces, new methods, new approaches, new players, new style.
It would be interesting to see what the same group of players we have, would be like with Klopp as manager.
Surely people must be bored the same scenario every season and something different might give the club a lift.
I know it was slightly different last season because we finished runners up, but when you consider, of the two teams still challenging for the PL with a few games to go, one club won had it more than half a decade ago and the other had never won it.
There will never be another season where all the top clubs were in such disarray, and we blew it.
So, just for the sake of a bit of variety, it would be good to see what Klopp would do.
Look at Liverpool since he has been their, they are buzzing.
The only thing buzzing at the Emirates are the flys hovering our performances.
Klopp and Liverpool are doing not bad, even without their key player Coutinho.
By playing the high pressing and intensity game, I want to know how long they can hold on.
It doesn’t take much to win this league doing that. See last season. A good manager with a decent squad that can focus his team 38 times a season can win this league.
Since Klopp took over Liverpool this is the mini league big 6 table
Liverpool P 13 6-6-1 24 points
Tottenham P 13 3-8-2 17 points
Chelsea P 13 4-5-4 17 points
Man United P 13 4-5-3 17 points
Arsenal P 12 2-6-4 12 points
Man City P 13 3-2- 8 11 points
Fair to say Klopp is a big game manager but he has to get his side up for the lesser games.
