Mesut Özil: Time to Move Ön?

[shootxhakashoot]

What a load of drivel. How do you come up with this ****?

How is it **** and drivel to say he hasnt performed consistently in an Arsenal shirt? Aaron Ramsey has put in more match winning performances in the same time Özil has been at the club for half the salary. A player with none of his world renown and prestige and who has been injured a lot of that time as well but hey resort to petty comments.
On his day a fantastic player but very rare to see those days playing for Arsenal so far.

Well guess we will see with a new manager. Hopefully he will turn up for more than 4-5 games a season and break a sweat if he's given instructions to do so. The proof will be in the pudding. Luxury player though imo

Might sound funny but I agree with this sentiment, partially. I actually expect Mesut to go up a gear under Emery. I think Wenger's trust approach is great with certain players but Özil needs a fire under his bum.

I love the player. I think he is a baller who jams sexy football but I agree with the fact that he doesn't produce every game and I am also tired of these mid season breaks.

I just really believe that a firm tactical change in approach and a better way to rotate the midfield are not only on the agenda but a sure way of getting us back to winning ways.

I feel he had far more than 4-5 good games though.

Fair enough the 4-5 games things was perhaps spurious. I haven't counted tbh but glad we agree mostly it seems. All except that I rate the player I just don't rate his attitude or personality and find the guy hard to like. I know a luxury player when I see one, I'm from Southampton and lived through the genius days of Matt le tiss saving Southampton on a regular basis but not playing for England for being "luxury" disgusting that was. The difference was he did it week in week out for his club and would have done for his country as well if given the chance. As I say we will see but I have a funny feeling he might not be an automatic pick under Emery if his attitude doesn't improve. Guy has been coasting.

If you stay away from this thread, @Jury actually comes across as a decent poster

will you fcuking disagree with something, mate?

Might make it a stipulation for the next Özil contract, to make you angry every month

Haha Germany losing to Mexico. Anyone might figure they have a passenger in the side.

Agenda much

He's had some digs because he didn't do better stopping Lozano from scoring but at least he bust a gut to get back running past those who weren't doing their job. I'm sure people would have been happier if he'd been clumsy and given away a penalty. It looks as miserable and devoid of quality for Germany as for Arsenal last season but his run back makes me think he's fully fit.

No agenda just pointing out the obvious, Özil wasnt at the races today, did his usual pretty touches, bottled some tackles and not much else. Was just like watching last seasons Arsenal watching Germany today. They'll need to shape up if they want to qualify from this group.
Love to see Germany lose though, absolutely made my day. Long may their form (and Ozils in this tournament) continue.

Hahaha it's one of those jokes I wish I made. So funny.

 

[say yes]

Özil’s probably the only player in world football who’s individually responsible for every game his team lose.

Hate the term 'luxury player' such a dumb myth. Means nothing.

F*cking Kimmich? Trying bicycle kicks in Mexico's box. Khedira? Running around somewhere. Kroos? Bypassed and strolling around. He probably should have tried to show him outside somehow, but then he's not a defender. At least he got back and tried to do something. Fair play to him.

The term makes complete sense as long as you’re talking about a genuine luxury player. It’s a player who has all the skill and ability but has long spells where he’s not affecting the game offensively and doesn’t compensate for it defensive ly. I’m not speaking about Özil here—just explaining the term. We know these players exist, so it’s legit.

Nah I get that, I do. And I've said this before, surely this is just a coaching thing? Why can't a player such as Özil put in defensive work? We've seen a huge increase from when he first joined, but I think Wenger wanted to give him that freedom, that why I don't think the term fits really, anyone's a luxury if they're told they don't have to put a shift in.

Yeah it's a shame the rest of the team has to carry that trash Muller..

nah, players like Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo has little to no defensive responsibility and is given the freedom to fully focus on attack, but no one would consider them luxury players because of the difference they make, hell Messi probably walks 80% of the game..

Nothing wrong with giving Özil or anyone else freedom, but he has to deliver offensively to be worth it..
