    Villa v Arsenal - The first goal was a thing of beauty,

    The passing was superb one-touch series until the through ball got to Ozil. Pace - Ozil's pace gave him all the time in the world to separate himself from the defenders. The movement into space was as always excellent, however, granted he had a running start but the defender nearest to him had the same; Ozil's acceleration took him clear. The defenders just could not live with that early pace.

    Guzan came to narrow the angle. Ozil waited until he was 7 metres from Guzan to place his pass towards goal. At 7 meters a goalkeeper just cannot react before the ball is by him. When stood up that time to react decreases...just cannot react in time to effect a save. In any case Ozil's selection of time to strike the ball frose Guzan...Goal! Calmly taken. Brilliant in its simplicity. Excellent allround GUNNERS goal.

    -------

    Villa gave the GUNNERS fits in the early going and should have been a goal up.

    Ozil's roaming makes him more effective than when told to remain wide? Absolutely!

    btw - 1 goal, 1 assist?
    Yup!...both Welbeck and Ozil!!! ...and both should have had 1 more goal.

    Arteta? - It is on the cards for him to set up Villa. He is

    unsure of himself and is playing accordingly. At times it freezes his brain and he then dwells on the ball inviting his being closed down and increasing risk of gifting the ball to Villa.

    Expect him to do some 'gifting'!

      Thank the Lord expectations were not fulfilled!

        It's a good thing I saw it for myself. And the rest of us saw it too. Because, from your description, this would be a shoo-in for goal of the year!

        Karl, relax! There was no extraordinary burst of speed (over ground) that allowed Ozil to separate himself from defenders. I need not say any more because the Forumites can watch it for themselves.

        As for the well-taken goal, despite all your scientific rationalisations (Ozil waited until he was 7 metres from Guzan to place his pass towards goal. At 7 meters a goalkeeper just cannot react before the ball is by him. When stood up that time to react decreases...just cannot react in time to effect a save.), what it was was simply a well taken goal that was telegraphed all the way and which could have been stopped by excellent foot-stoppers like Tim Howard.

        I need to pass on this information to the coaches I know. Didn't know there was a magic number (7 metres), when it comes to goals.

        I would heap more praise on his assist. The pass was made early and accurately.

        Wooiiieee, mi instep!

        Call mi when what we saw of Ozil today is the norm.

              How far apart do you think Guzan and Ozil were when Ozil made his pass into goal? I say 7 meters may be about right!

              Let me use my mind's eye/recall - Ozil made the pass about 1 meter at most outside of the penalty-area possibly within the penalty arc...Guzon was about a meter or so below the penalty spot at that moment of Ozil's contact=pass. If I have remembered correctly, 7 or so meters is about the distance between the goalkeeper (Guzan) and the striker (Ozil)/goalkeeper and ball. ...such strikes are 'betta dan' penalties.

              btw - That is the concept behind a striker getting a one-on-one with the 'keeper on a through pass being ideally delivered just about 5 - 8 yards outside of the penalty-area.

              The 'keeper must advance to narrow the angle the striker has of goal on either side of him and to have the ball passed as near to him as possible...in theory giving the 'keeper his best chance at effecting a save. ...however, it is ideal for the attacker as the immediate contact with the ball allows for the best senarios to 'round the 'keeper', lob the 'keeper or pass into goal as the distance between both as they rush towards each other allows for extremely limited time within which the 'keeper has to react to the striker's 'move'/action. = For striker 'betta dan penalti'!

                A 2nd look - Ozil's position relative to Guzan's...

                Looked at the goal again - Ozil was inside...INSIDE...the penalty-area when he struck the ball & Guzan was meter deeper than the penalty spot near to his goal.

                Let's see - The boundary of the penalty-area is 18 yards out from the goal-line. The penalty-spot/mark is 12 yards out from the goal-line.
                - Ozil is 1 yard inside the penalty-area = 17 yards from the goal-line.

                - Guzan is 1 yard below the penalty-spot/mark and nearer to his goal-line = 11 yards from his goal-line.



                - 17 yard (Ozil's position) - 11 (Guzan's position = 6 yards apart!
                My approximation cannot be far wrong...so way the 'kickin a puppa-lick'?

                btw - Welbeck's had even smaller separation between himself and Guzan.
                3 yards?

                    Really, Mosiah!
                    ...do you wish us to believe that you cannot pause a video of the action at the point where Ozil struck the ball for his pass into goal?

                    That approximate of 6 yards or 7 yards between Ozil and Guzan at that moment can only reasonably draw a conclusion that perhaps Guzan was on the penalty-spot and thus the distance between both players could be said to be 5 yards.

                    Look at the video once more and make a correct call. It is not demeaning to admit an error.
