Ozil would have been massive today. His ability to pop into space and to hit the killer ball on the counter would've been clutch.

Absolutely.

And you can see how much we missed Rambo in a match like today. The Ox was fantastic in his two previous starts at center mid at Galatasaray and at home to Newcastle. He might have even been the Man of the Match against Newcastle for me. But he just didn't have it today, and maybe played a bit too much like a winger. You have to do a better job protecting the ball in the middle, and he, like a lot of our team, did a poor job of that in this match.

The likes of Rambo and Özil would have brought a bit of calm in midfield today. Surely we would have done a better job of keeping possession than we did.

So glad we get Liverpool at The Emirates over the second half of the season. Liverpool had a chance to get a much needed win at home against a team they are desperate to beat for a Top 4 place, and didn't get it done. Guess the same could also be said about us since we let it slip late.
