Mesut Özil: Time to Move Ön?

[logic DC]

yall are clowns, watching the Hull game rn and that from Özil is the definition of controlling a game just because he did nothing flashy does not mean he was bad lol.

In support of the player, I actually think you're doing a world class player a disservice if you believe that.

 

[Nyctophobia]

Feel like we're repeating this over and over, that it's not wrong to hold Özil to a higher standard.

 

[Garrincha]

Özil will naturally have a less eye catching role now Santi is back & with Iwobi drifting inside so much. We have three player in the same area with great vision & passing ability. Seems his role is more fluid now.

 

[bingobob]

Nobody is going to bench Mesut ****ing Özil after a couple bad matches in which we got good results ffs. Get of it.

There is a a difference between bench and rotate. Certainly the way I'm looking at it. I want Özil to play and start against City, United, Chelsea etc against West Brom, Everton I'd want something different and for him to come on later when the dynamics have changed. I dont think creating is enough against those teams. That's my take anyway.

 

[Rimaal]

People still beating up on Özil?
Yep.

Alrighty then.

You quite clearly hate his guts.

It is here. It's just beyond silly now.

 

[MutableEarth]

It's not a crime to say that Mesut's been phoning it in so far this season. It's early and he's not looked bad other than one game where he had possibly his worst game in an Arsenal shirt, but he's not been quite as sharp as he was last season. I expect him to improve though, and so far, Cazorla and Iwobi have both been excellent secondary providers in the mean time.

 

[Proof]

Feel like we're repeating this over and over.

That seems to be the essence of a sports forum. From a distance, it certainly looks like a waste of time.

 

[logic DC]

controlling a game is keeping your team fluid and smooth in their play and that what Özil did on Saturday, his performance was no different to santi or Theo who yall are praising for putting in a 5/10 performance at best.

 

[say yes]

Who do people think should replace Özil so that we can drop him to the bench?

In need of a chuckle.

 

[Trilly]

Özil must be having an impact on our game even if it's not immediately obvious. I'm not blind to his faults but the amount of times his been subbed or rested and our game has gone to **** is telling.

We look like complete crap without him.

Basically I would tell people to revisit what we were saying about Özil before all his assists last season. The retention of possession and decision making in the final third is something that he'll always bring to the table.

----------------Giroud
-Sanchez---------------------Iwobi
--------Ramsey-----Caz/Coq
-------------Coq/Xhaka

Just like that City game a while ago

 

[RUS arsenal]

I really don't understand this concept that Özil's job/role is JUST to recycle the ball in the final 3rd to keep us "fluid." His real value is in his vision and ability to make space for others with his passing or just directly provide the final ball.

I think it should be obvious to any neutral that he is not playing well at the moment. I expect him to improve and it is far from the point where his starting spot should be questioned. But let's not delude ourselves that he is not playing poorly.

 

[bingobob]

Should always have that disclaimer in there.

I want Özil to play against City etc but not West Brom because I hate his guts

 

[Penn_]

Pundits and commentators will try to convince you otherwise but I think that was intentional.

Hitting the ball into the ground always decieves the keeper.

[razörist]

Again bench him.
