reading this in david attenborough voice helps“It was a game packed with central midfielders of note, from the lesser-spotted Fred, to a rare sighting of Mesut Özil in a major Premier League game, flushed out from his gilded nook on the Arsenal bench like a pedigree chinchilla lured into the light by a piece of cheese on a string.”

I watched the game with a mate who is not exactly a tactical genius but he spotted this and mentioned it immediately.
Yeah thanks I know that but they are making those arguments and I wanted to see it game for game for once instead of random numbers I don’t understand.
Even the refs couldn't believe his pace, they flagged him offside
A pedigree chinchilla.... I need to rethink my life. This is inspiring stuff. Whoever than man is, I need to meet him.“It was a game packed with central midfielders of note, from the lesser-spotted Fred, to a rare sighting of Mesut Özil in a major Premier League game, flushed out from his gilded nook on the Arsenal bench like a pedigree chinchilla lured into the light by a piece of cheese on a string.”
It’s Barney Ronay.
So overall have a higher win and loss % without Özil playing this season than when he's involved. But win % is probably more important since draws are barely better than losses.
"De Gea misread the cut, took a step for a swerve the other way and was totally beaten, waving a hand vaguely like a man hailing a rush-hour London bus as it speeds past his stop, windows steamed".
