Dixon with that typical English bollocks about nasty streaks. Maybe he should've got more of a nasty streak so he could've played for England more.

What exactly would so called grit and aggression add to Özil's game?
Özil's issues are rather systemic not individual. It's mad that we don't build our team around him considering the level he was playing at last year.

If copying Alli is playing like Alli did today then people can **** off saying Özil should be more like Alli in any way shape or form. This is the same **** who was **** at the Euros, **** in the Champions League, **** against Gent (Genk?) and who got sent off for a ****ing moronic reckless challenge that could have seriously injured a player. What else should Özil do, lose 80% of his technical ability to be more like Alli?
Alli's racked up a few goals in the premier league (the pinnacle of football
) and once again he's being hyped up to a ridiculous level like so many others before him. Özil has won a world cup, has played for Real Madrid and helped us end our 9 year trophy drought, he's also had MOTM performances in El Clasico's. The last thing he needs to do is be more like some overhyped petulant ****. Guess what if Özil goes around punching, elbowing, diving, like Alli does he wouldn't get away with it in an Arsenal short. Özil was also outscoring and outperforming Alli up until a couple of months when Özil's form dropped along with everyone else in the team and our midfield became an utter shambles. No one was saying Özil should be more like Alli back in October or November.
Just **** off with this hyperbolic nonsense.

Not heaps. But a higher work rate, some sort of ability to win 50/50s and an ability to dribble/take on his man (like he used to, it's not exactly aggression but he lacks power) would help his contribution.
It's not so much that, I just thought it was funny that people read what Dixon said and straight away got super defensive of Özil. Then started ****ting on Ali.
Dele Alli was garbage this season until he had a purple patch over the Christmas period, now people act like he's been brilliant the whole season.

Dilly Dalli is a proper nob. He'll be at Barnet In five years.

Maybe if Dixon had got a nasty streak Arsenal wouldn't have finished 8th in the league.

Why didn't Dixon get a nasty streak and tell his team mates to stop drinking on match days.

He has a 'purple patch' every year though, doesn't he? That's not bad for a player surrounded by inferior players to what Özil is surrounded by.
I am doing this right, aren't I?

He was drinking with them, as they broke Liverpools monopoly on the league.
People are putting him in the conversation for POTY, which is ridiculous considering his performances from August-December. People said Özil's lack of inclusion in the TOTS for 15/16 was justified because he fell off from January onwards but Alli gets in despite not showing up until Christmas? It's not even a bias because of his nationality, it's because he plays for the club the media love. Sickening tbh.

It's true he hasn't had a great season from the off. I'd be inclined to give him a pass because the Euro's and his age. It's tough being consistent at his age, but he's shook it off and he's thriving. A lot of others aren't... Just saying really. I'm not some Alli fan and I'm definitely not using his current form to bash Özil with.People are putting him in the conversation for POTY, which is ridiculous considering his performances from August-December.

You should be joking. The origin of your tag should be noted, dear lad.

I think Özil is better than Alli, definitely, As far as talent and footballing ability is concerned. Alli can be a pretty handy player though. Better in duels, and has this positive aggression along with a kind of power that can be helpful. Otherwise Özil wins. Ali is incredibly overrated though. All the Sp**s English players are media darlings.
why take two touches when one is enough? honestly cannot think of a better one-touch passer...maybe Zizou

Messi, Bergkamp, RVP, Totti, David Silva, Sneijder, Busquets, Scholes, Kroos, Modric et al are great 1-2 passers. The secret is the speed of their brain and perfect technique.
Özil's control and touch are pure class but I think we've had better in that regard in DB and RVP. However his passing technique, the weight on them is perfect most of the time.
