Personally I don't think that they will start winning all their games magically after Ozil get in the boat but certainly they will play better than this in EPL. Actually in some teams I believe that the coach is not doing enough to stimulate the players.
Imo, it's the duty of the player to work hard and give the manager a reason to play him, I'm sure if Mesut Ozil was playing and Arsenal are having this bad run, fans will still find some other excuse to make and criticize the manager, Arsenal are in a bad run and Ozil is not going to change anything even if he gets on the pitch, the last games I watched Ozil play in an Arsenal jersey, I must say he wasn't impressive and if the manager decides to drop him, it's cause he doesn't think he has anything more to offer the team, the coach wouldn't stupidly bench a player that would change his teams fortune.
4 consecutive wins in the EPL for Man United I think it's been a tough week for the two Manchester who will face this week although Gunnar Solskjaer will be full of pressure if he loses maybe he will be sacked soon if it loses.
For sure there'll be a lot of pressure on OGS If he loses to pep tomorrow, but I don't think he'll be sacked by the United board if he loses this game, I believe United will give him the chance to finish this season before assessing the teams performances, plus trophies, before taking a decision, many times changing a manager mid-season doesn't change anything, though it gives the new gaffer the chance to get to know his players before the start of the other season.

After losing 3-2 to RB Leipzig and not qualifying for the UCL knockout phase, this weekend Manchester United will take on Man City in the EPL. A tough challenge for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, if  lose it could be that the hashtags Ole out will increase and Ole must be Out. The history of their last match, MU won 2-0. But I'm not sure about the state of the MU players for tomorrow.
Still not hashtag Ole out After losing 3-2 to RB Leipzig and not qualifying for the UCL knockout phase usually Manchester United fans will make hashtag because this champion league season become the first for Manchester United can't going on to knock out phase, but still safety for Ole although give bad thing for Manchester United in champion league. Waiting if Manchester United loss from City in this week will get hashtag Ole out again and have candidate Gerrard success with Glasgow Rangers and have big chance to be Manchester United coach, very sad for Manchester United after few year not participated on champion league and this season have fall on phase group.

Arteta was with this same team last year finishing 10th position bought some good first-team players he requested during the transfer window and was on top of the league earlier this season winning Liverpool and Manchester United and suddenly all the players are fatigued and are performing poorly the question is;

Is Arteta Motivating this players at all? ?

He lack a creative midfielder so why was Ozil ommited ?

Its not 10th finish first, it is 8th finish. Secondly, part of it has to do with bad managing in starting by Unai Emery. I still recall how bad we were and fans were very upset with Emery. Arsenal under Arteta however somehow at least were displaying better.

Regarding Ozil, I would say it hurts to see such a creative midfielder go but Arteta also has a point since he has to role as manager to play. He is there for a reason and he knows who is displaying better. There are lot of players in midfield and Arteta had made it clear that he has to select the best and Ozil was not- as simple as that. Now, people are questioning such decision since they know what kind of player Ozil is based on past performances but maybe now he is not performing well enough before manager eyes.


[...]

I think management is gonna continue with Arteta for now. Arsenal under Arteta won FA Cup last season (that got us place in Europa) and Community Shield which we wouldn't have any high hopes for if we would have continued under Emery. It was a good journey and those moments have gained the trust of fans and board. With Arsenal performing unbeaten in group stage of Europa currently it makes it more unlikely that they would sack Arteta anytime soon.

But I think the victory in the EPL is good enough for MU, but I don't know if losing will bring disaster to him.
This is playing at MU's house so there is still a chance to win even though this is not sure because Mancity is also better.

I would say it is not about Arteta not being ready not it is not about him not motivating players at all. I think he is new and does lack experience for sure but there is also the fact that this is a corona season as we call it, which means things will not be as good as you hope it would be, and you change rotation all the time to face each different team depending on the other team and their situation and even your players situation.

So long story short, this is going to be a lost year for many many teams, Liverpool will probably win it again and just continue to be awesome for a while more. What arsenal needs right now is gain experience together, they need fresh new legs that play together and next year they are going to actually try for something, and if they fail next year then we can blame Arteta.

Arteta still doesn't have much experience and could be this is reason why Arsenal haven't found their best squad yet.

It does take time actually. New season is up, new players are being bought and it does take time to settle in.

Prolly not by the looks of it.

Have you seen how Ozil has been playing, when he was playing?  They should get rid of him.  The club is leaking money cos of his high wages.

And I never thought I'd see this..  Arsenal is just 7 points above the relegation zone.  So that makes their fixture vs Burnley a relegation scrap.  Lolol.
Without Ozil Arsenal can't get anything and Arteta keep with his promise never give chance for Ozil although now Arsenal on 15th standing fixture, what happen with Arsenal this season and why never get any warning for Mikel Arteta after string of bad results for Arsenal and always change player composition each games, I think he need solid team without change each game and make bad result for Arsenal, by the way how long give chance for Arteta before fired as Arsenal coach, I like Ozil could back to Arsenal squad because Aubameyang need good service how to scoring goal for Arsenal.

Ozil on his poor days is X5 better than all the current Arsenal midfielders what ozil needd is time he has been on the beach for too long the whole story started when Umery was hired.

Kevin De Bruyne is a great playmaker and he reminds me on Riquelme who has very low speed but if he has a good system around, he plays very well. Bruyne is faster than the Bruyne but he plays with his mind and his fast observation. He observe his teammate movements fastly and make super quick decisions. His passing skills help him to convert his decision to opportunities.

In the player stat table, some Spurs' players there: from Son, Kane, to Augurier and they as a club deserve the first position. Ndombele deserves a spot in top players. Mourinho came and changed Ndombele to be a beast.

Bruyne is faster than Bruyne you said;)

Anyway, Bruyne is not fast I think, and not so strong but like you said no one pays him for his muscles but for his brain. I think in the old days when you see 40 year olds playing (and hopefully to still see people like Zlatan do that) you realize most of them never was paid for their speed. Like Giggs.

As a Spurs fan I disagree about Ndombele. If you change, you deserve to get ranked. Where were many stars today just five years ago before their coaches turned them into beasts?Smiley

How about the big match in week 12 between Man United vs Man City, I just think that the result is a draw, even though from the last 8 meetings they have never been drawn.
https://www.fctables.com/h2h/manchester-city/manchester-united/
 
For Manchester United, it was a very difficult match in the Champions League, they gave all their strength there. Manchester City played easily needlessly win, but that was enough to beat Marseille. Both teams will play to win, because the victory will give the opportunity to join the fight for the championship in the Premier League. I am more inclined towards the victory of Manchester City, although they will formally be guests in this match.

Right now they are having problems attacking which is ok but they need to find the fix soon. Arteta is also trying to figure out the solution and we can see him by trying some formations and some other players in the lineup. Its not about best lineup, every team face these issues once in for a while so the manager has to change in try some other players or formations which he is working on.

Different from other derbies somehow this one. Quite used to seeing Barca draw with Real or lose to them as most recently I can painfully remember. Liverpool Everton seem to be very one sided or end up drawing but the odds are always good.

City win looks the best value here, like you said, they don't seem to ever draw with their rivals in Manchester.

Arsenal is far from being a top 4 team materials. And it's interesting to see that Arteta still not had been criticised like other coaches have got.
I don't know who to blame here because Arteta was heavenly backed up during the transfer window he got all the players he wanted early enough, there are few talented young players and experienced players in the squad. The backroom coaches have been poor there's no player development from attack to defense are all performing below par.Auba and Laca are out of form and are struggling to build back confident I also think removing ozil from team was a big mistake. Arsenal is a laughing stock so no pressure.

Updated table and top 15 rated players (do the ratings look a little dipped across the board?) **edit** De Bruyne is always there like shit stuck on a blanket lol

Shaping up to be a bit more familiar, as many have long predicted.
