Player:Saliba
I agree and I think we have always suffered without Özil in the team for as long as he’s been here but I think his consistency could have been better.

When cazorla was around, he always received good service. He just had to stay on attacking areas and provide goals and assists. His job description was much simpler. His golden period here coincided with Cazorla's good form. The cazorla-coquelin partnership was good both at defense and transitioning to attack.
Once cazorla got injured, he was not receiving the balls the way he was used to before.
His agent even asked how he can influence the game when he is not even getting enough service from midfield. It took him really long time to figure out that he has to take the initiative, track back, lead the attack from behind if he really has to be called a great player. That quality is what differentiates a good player from a great player. A great player leads from the front even when the team is down. Talent and skills were always there. We needed him to be a leader. That is what he has become now. Good that he did it at least now. Bad that he is into his final year of the contract when he realized it.

This.
I think he is realising that he needs to roll his sleeves up for himself if nothing else.

No stat can convey his majesty, especially in the first half.

This guy, another manager and he single handedly takes us to the title. Mesut is everything.

His recent comments about feeling privileged staying here are positive, I really hope he stays. We were 100 times better tonight compared to West Brom and it's because of him, he improves our attack so much, usually makes the right decision and the weight on his passes is perfect.

But but Özil can't do all this running, shooting, dominating of games blah blah.. Whoever wants him to do that has no clue about football..

Some sloppy moments but overall he was fantastic yet again. If he is wiling to stay you pay him whatever he wants.

Fantastic player. Sucks that he'll probably be in a United (or the like) shirt next fall, but glad I got to watch him here for 4 years.

Best player on the pitch again. Have been critical of him in the past but has been brilliant this year, playing with a determination I didn't think he had in him. When he leaves we'll be a poorer team.

If he goes to Utd I`ll cry.

Something I’ve been talking about for a while is this guys’s offensive workrate - genuinely phenomenal when you watch him live.

His physique and fitness has completely transformed from his time with Mourinho at Madrid when he used to be subbed off at 70 minutes almost every match.
Özil has improved a lot as a footballer in his time here tbh,especially physically. His best football and form has been with us.
So desperate for him to stay and I hate that I’m optimistic about it too..

Yeah remember you higlighting it even last year , at the top of the league as far as sprints and distance travelled . Yet so many still persist with the jogging narrative.
